Not clean

My husband and I loved this location and thought the grounds and pool area were beautiful. Unfortunately, our room was not very clean when we arrived. The surfaces had crumbs and the floor was filthy. The bathtub would not drain and the bathtub faucet would not turn all the way off, which we could hear all night long. We would not choose to stay at this location again.

Plantation at Crystal River

The room was big and I liked the furnishings very much. The tub seemed dirty though. The Plantation has a lot to offer with their Adventure Center. You can book river/canal cruises to see the manatees. The staff was very friendly. The pool is excellent They had a tiki bar that played non stop country music. Being that I'm not a fan of country music it would have been better to play a mix. The on site restaurant was great. The check in process was not great. We waited a long time for a room. They didn't have one ready for us. Overall I liked the stay!

Decent location to explore the Crystal Springs area

The Plantation is a reasonable (though not spectacular) place to stay.The “resort” is a bit shabby and the rooms are quite tired. Staff was friendly and helpful though they seemed to be short handed. Room cleaning seems random - for a five night stay, we had towels changes once plus once on request. Room could have used a deeper clean - the floors were quite dirty (when you stepped into the shower, the first would show). Found multiple hairs and other things that weren’t ours. And the patio could have used a brushing/cleaning. The on-site restaurant was Ok (and convenient for a first night meal). The best part for us was the on site adventure center who offer great eco boat rides and snorkeling outings. Well worth doing.
