My name is Wen. On March 30st, I forgot retrieve my ID at this hotel when l checked out .Thanks to them for faxed a copy of my ID to the next hotel where I checked in the next day, and promising to send my ID card to my home address. The Postage is paid for by me. But 10 days have passed and I haven't received it. If they are too busy to send my ID back, I hope they will send me a photo of the sealed ID in the mail to make a sure that I don't have to worry about the security of my identity in the future. I hope I can get their response, it's my fault for forgetting the ID. I had to apply for a new ID.

The breakfast was absolutely fabulous. We have gluten and lactose intolerance and everything that was provided, both courses was delicious. The owners made us feel really welcome and couldn’t be more helpful.
Fantastic experience ❤️

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.

Crystal River is the most beautiful little town we have ever visited. Everything is manatee-themed, even down to some of the streetlights! There are lots of things to do, especially if you love nature and wildlife. Scalloping, hiking, swimming with manatees, and kayaking just to name a few. There are also lots of great dining options available, especially the seafood! It is a cultural hotspot as well, with lots of murals, galleries, museums, and historical sites to see. We will definitely be back and hope to stay longer next time.
check in went smoothly, very friendly desk person. the room is very basic, but everything was there including a microwave and fridge..it is a very basic hotel but was clean for a quickie overnight trip where we just needed a place to crash for the night..the shower pressure was good..the sink did not drain very well and might be something someone might want to look into..but the fridge was very cold and it was just perfect for a cheap quick night in the middle of a very rural area that does not have a lot of fancy places to stay
Adventure Center is the best part of this resort; lots of options, helpful and friendly Adventure Staff. Pool has improved since the last visit but still understaffed at the tiki hut and still an issue with local teens coming into the pool area in the evening and acting disrespectful. Dinner at the main restaurant was delicious.
Honestly, there was not much I did like. I guess it was better than sleeping in my car for the night, but at the price they charged for the value I received I would have seriously considered it. There are other options in town, like what looked like a newly built Best Western -- I should have just stayed there in hindsight.
Wonderful B&B by the water with kayaks to explore the area. Thematic and beautiful rooms with all amenities and gourmet coffee, outstanding tasty breakfast and best of all the most fantastic hosts. Beautiful views and sunrise from the veranda. We loved every minute and felt at home the minute we arrived.
Considering I booked this place last minute after an awful experience at the Plantation Hotel, this hotel was such a breath of fresh air - clean, felt new, friendly service, still central to everything needed.... ah. Would highly recommend this place if going to crystal river for manatee excursions
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.
A very charming hotel! Very clean and modern rooms. Beautiful patio areas. Location is great. King Bay park is right behind it and short ealk to Hunter Spring, downtown shopping and restaurants. Nightly delivery of pastries was wonderful!
very tired hotel could be o much more staff were very helpful and friendly but the bar and restaurant was expensive for what it was
views were exceptional ...this hotel has so much potential but its tired and worn out
This hotel exceed our expectations in terms of cleaning and furniture - everything seemed to be brand new!
The location is excellent - nearby there is supermarket and the Springs are within 5 minutes of driving.
Was great for scallops seasoned. It was nice to have a boat ramp next to the hotel it’s easy to get to the main channel. Very pet friendly. Also nice that the Denny’s connected to the hotel.
This hotel is right on the Crystal River, so the view and location is excellent. It is a somewhat tired, old hotel, but the location makes up for the age and tired looking facilities.
