Retreat at Crystal Manatee, hotel in Crystal River

Located in Crystal River, 7.2 miles from Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, Retreat at Crystal Manatee has accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

It was very comfortable. We felt safe. It was quieter than most places and was very clean. Our room was modern and decorated beautifully. It felt like a little oasis with all the plants outside. The staff are friendly, and there were a lot of places to visit in the area.

    We booked a trip operated by Nature' Discovery using Viator.

    We booked a trip operated by Nature' Discovery using Viator. They supplied lovely photos of our snorkeling with a manatee. I thought that seeing one was not guaranteed but I believe it happens almost 100% of the time. We had a great time and highly recommend. Go for early trip before other people are up.

    We stayed in the Holiday Inn Express in Crystal River and it was really nice and very clean! We did two different Tours during our stay. The first was a swim with manatees tour. I booked it with Explorida and they were amazing! On our tour we had Gavin and Gloria, they were truly amazing at what they do. You can tell they can about the animals and want to keep everyone safe. The second was an air boat tour in Homosassa. Which is about 20 minutes south of Crystal river. The boat ride was beautiful and we got to see dolphins! Overall the trip was a lot of fun and would Highly recommend!

    Beautiful area, with a lot to explore.

    Beautiful area, with a lot to explore. My schedule only allowed 1/2 day. I would recommend visiting mid-week, NOT during Spring break. I rented a kayak for 3 hours from Hunter Springs Kayaks (highly recommend them!), with the intention of swimming with manatees. I only saw 1 manatee while swimming, plus a couple more from the kayak, since it was late in the season for seeing manatees. Next time I'll plan on visiting earlier in the season, midweek

    Crystal River is an adorable little beach town full of nature loving people, artists, veterans, and retirees. We had a wonderful time there snorkeling with manatees, boating, kayaking, and exploring Heritage Village. Highly recommended for a long weekend trip.

    Three sisters spring was very nice saw a lot of manatees and the trails were nice. Parking was limited. Kayak rental was pricey and not worth it. We did see manatees but the bay was crowded the water murky until you got near the springs. Would not recommend kayaking in the bay and channels. There are much better places to kayak . If you love seafood eat at the Crab Plant. Casual dining with great food and a big variety of fresh caught seafood.

    This was such a great find. My husband and I planned a last minute getaway to Crystal River for scalloping. We found this spot and booked a room. From the time we arrived to our last day the owner and his business partner, Tina were extremely gracious and accommodating. Clean, charming atmosphere and comfy room and bed with private bath. This place was a senior living facility that they are converting into a hotel inn and they are doing a great job. I’m recommending this place to everyone! Great price too!!

    The location is excellent. easy walking to restaurants, attractions, and activities. The owners want to make your stay comfortable. The rooms have or are being totally updated. the fresh pastries delivered to the room for breakfast are excellent. Coffee, tea, fruit, yogurt, cereal are available 24 hours. It may look like the old Florida motel, but surpasses the corporates hotels.

    First Hotel on our trip through Florida with a decent breakfast (hot and cold). We liked it! We booked a room for 4 people with two queen size beds. The room was spacious, there was plenty of space for all of us including our luggage. Coffee, coffee maker and microwave in the room, free coffee 24/7 in the lobby. Enough parking space, everything just perfect.

    That said, the amenities were awesome-- heated pool, plenty of activities, and an Adventure Center that is unbelievable. The best part of this place is the location. It is right on the water and if you're visiting for nature, it's the perfect place.

    The pool was great, easily accessible to our room. It was clean enough, we didn't expect a lot for the price and it was fine. Sheets and floor were clean. Great location to visit all the adventures in the Crystal River Area.
