What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 1,546 guest reviews
The Retreat at Crystal Manatee earns consistently high praise for its beautifully maintained gardens, spotless rooms, and prime walkable location near downtown Crystal River's restaurants, shops, and springs. The nightly pastry delivery is a standout personal touch that guests repeatedly highlight. The main recurring gripes are a limited breakfast offering, restricted parking, and rooms that lack seating and in-room appliances like microwaves — areas where the property has clear room to improve.
