We went there for dinner last night at their new restaurant called the Three Musketeers. What a wonderful experience! The food and service are second to none. The grounds and setting are nothing short of amazing! This is truly a hidden gem in Crystal River

We didn’t arrive until around 9 pm , a lot later than we’d planned but there was no issues with checking in . Keeping in contact with hotel as we drove up. Once we arrived check in was easy. The breakfast room is situated next door to reception so u can helpful to tea / coffee n breakfast things even when reception is shut. Room was decent size and had all that you needed . Very enjoyable stay with very helpful n friendly staff

Sometimes you just get lucky ! I booked this after reading a report in the Daily Express about swimming with Manatee. We drove up from Key west on a nightmare of 8 lane highways to arrive in the charming town of Crystal River. The retreat offers you parking directly opposite at no charge. The gardens that will surround you are just wonderful, somebody has put a lot of effort into this tranquil heaven. The rooms are comfortable with all the amenity's you will need, the beds are great and I slept extremely well. Breakfast is supplied in an on site caffe, you are offered coffee, yogurt, fresh fruit, toast, fruit juice and best of all bagels. You will also be visited in the late afternoon by a fairy who leaves fresh croissants on your door. You also have garden furniture to sit outside and enjoy the weather. My only big mistake was not booking for longer. As an added extra there are some brilliant restaurants within walking distance ( Try the crab shack...the best meal I had on holiday ), and of course the star of the show the Manatee. DO go and say hello from me please.

The wife of the owner abuses his employees. Throughout our stay we witnessed the wife of the owner abuse his employees verbally and demanding ridiculous things from them or to repeat work she most likely knew what was the right thing to do for the sake of the work but insisted they go against what was best for the job. I’m pretty sure she has a control problem

I wish I could post pics to show the sterile rooms. Clean? Yep! User friendly? Nope! Nowhere to put ANYTHING. No dresser or cabinet to put your clothes. Felt like a hostel. Bathroom had a pedestal sink (stupid choice!) and literally no surfaces to put toiletries. No mirrors other than in bathroom and since there was no surface to put anything applying makeup was a challenge. The check-in process was unfriendly at best. We arrived 15 minutes before 'official" check in but, although our room was ready, they would not let us in. Waited in the meager check-in office and 5 minutes before the "official" check-in the rude person behind the desk said "ok, I may as well check you in". Simply awful. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

4.5 stars: would stay here again
What I liked - clean, beautiful flower beds, close to Hunters Spring park and Kings bay, staff was friendly and helpful, free self serve breakfast, free croissants every evening
What I didn't like - no microwave in room or breakfast area to warm up dinner left overs, no sink or mirror in the bathroom (had to use the large sink and mirror in the room) no lamp on the bedside tables (so if you read in bed at night you have to get back out of bed to turn off the lights) bed was way to soft for me
Would give 5 stars if there would have been a microwave and a bedside lamp by the bed for reading. Would give 10 stars if they offered free kayaks to use at kings bay. We will definitely stay here again.

Great coffee
We had a lovely stay here. The hotel has clearly been updated recently and the room was in perfect condition. The grounds are lovely with a spa-like atmosphere! The staff were friendly and helpful. We needed to check in late, which can be done until 11pm. They have a futuristic coffee maker that grinds the beans for each cup! Breakfast options were a little uninspiring but the coffee made up for that.
