Plantation Resort on Crystal River is beautifully situated on the famous Kings Bay in Crystal River. Here, you’ll stay close to the area’s warm springs, which are home to manatees during the winter months. The resort spans a large area featuring both a marina and a golf course. From the hotel’s Adventure Centre, boats depart straight out to Kings Bay, where you can join various daytime excursions, including manatee tours, sunset cruises, and kayak rentals (we recommend booking excursions well in advance on the hotel’s website to ensure availability). From Crystal River, it’s only 3 km to Three Sisters Spring and 13 km to Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. 

The hotel itself is built in a classic Southern plantation style, offering plenty of space and lush green surroundings – a welcoming setting for both adults and children. Plantation Resort on Crystal River has a total of 196 rooms, simply furnished with a mini-fridge, tea and coffee-making facilities, a TV, Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom with a hairdryer.

When you’re not out exploring the natural beauty of the local area, you can unwind by the large lagoon pool overlooking Kings Bay, indulge in the outdoor spa, or enjoy a game of tennis or golf.

At the hotel’s own restaurant, you can purchase breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and savour a delicious meal with a view of the bay.

The hotel offers free parking.
