Nice, clean and friendly staff

Very clean. Beautiful garden and entrance way

Our mini getaway was a great stay. The room was beautiful, very comfortable and quiet. The shower was unique and the daily croissants were delicious.

The hotel is small, cozy, beautiful, clean, many plants around, close to everything, and very friendly staff. Also, in the breakfast area there are always drinks and some free snacks. Also, at dusk they offered all the guests some delicious sweet cakes, a nice detail!

Beautiful property and very convenient for some nice restaurants and shopping. The rooms are very nice and modern! We really enjoyed staying here!

It was a perfect location for our manatee snorkeling adventure. The upgrades were eclectic but nice. Could walk everywhere we needed and would stay here agai.

It was as always wonderful . Nice room awesome shower . Great self service breakfast. Love the pastries in the afternoon.

Total gem in Crystal River! Very conveniently located to local to do's and food establishments. Not for those who are looking for gyms and pools.... But if it is a clean and modern room you're looking for then look no further!

First off, this property is newly remodled and it's gorgeous. Jodi was the person who checked us in and she even walked us to our room and showed us the amenities offered and the lounges we could get into. Its not a big place, but it was still nice to be shown. They leave freshly baked (in house) pastries too for each room. They were delicious! The rooms are VERY clean and decorated super cute. The only downside to the entire thing is the shower/toilet area is very small, but was manageable.

This retreat is perfectly located to visit the manatees. The surrounding area is charming. And the retreat is being renovated/updated. The room we stayed in was completely redone & charming. It was a bit odd that the only sink was in the main area, not in the bathroom, however, it was nicely done. There is no breakfast or coffee available so keep this in mind when you stay here. Overall, would recommend.

Everything was close to our stay. Our swim with the manatees and great dining were all around us. We could walk and enjoy our surroundings

The Retreat at Crystal River is extraordinary! It is an unusually beautiful place with gorgeous landscaping, huge live oak trees, many pots of flowers, and spotlessly clean on the outside and inside facilities. The rooms are lovely, with unusual steel sinks in the bedroom area and fabulous bathrooms including high tech showers with six different water options. The breakfast included yogurt, different cereals, and breads but there was a coffee machine which made individual cups of coffee - quite good. The staff was very accommodating and provided extra amenities such as shampoo and even provided beach towels! The rooms were cleaned each morning while we were out and excellent French pastries were provided in the late afternoon to chairs outside the rooms. Three of the rooms had individual small patios which I did not stay in but were lovely. There were several outdoor tables and inside tables provided to enjoy the breakfast provisions. A large room with seating and microwave was an additional feature that could be enjoyed. The location is absolutely ideal, near a beach and a dock area, right down the street from restaurants and a business to sign up to swim or see the manatees, and a terrific restaurant, the Crab Plant. I am definitely returning here with family and or friends. The owner, Joel, is a talented artist and carpenter who was fascinating and friendly as was his daughter.

It was clan and quiet and the rooms were recently renovated.

Clean, stylish, updated, and conveniently located close to nearby attractions and restaurants. Check-in and check-out were very smooth. Room was comfortable. Nice touches include stylish rooms, coffee and tea available around the clock, safe storage for bikes/kayaks/SUPs, delicious complimentary pastries baked on site every evening. Would stay here again. Do note that check-in may not be available late at night so check with property if arriving after 9 pm.

Beautiful hotel if your travels bring you to Crystal River you have to stay here.

Loved it! Well managed and extremely clean!

The rooms were pretty modern and simple. We were excited about the shower but some of the holes were clogged so we weren't getting full pressure from the waterfall , shower wand or upper body sprayer. That was disappointing considering the looks of the room, fee and $150 deposit. Other than that, the hotel was good.

Very clean and updated hotel in walking distance of restaurants and bars. Delivered hot pastries to the room and offered a continental breakfast. Would definitely stay again!

Great gem! Can walk to the water, shops, and restaurants. Not flashy but very laid back and relaxed. No pool, gym, but perfect location and staff. Will deff stay again!

Charming motel, perfect for a couple going on manatee tours. Sleek modern minimalist style, very clean, comfortable bed with extra pillows. If you want a luxurious room this isn’t it, but we’ll done and we’ll kept

This hotel is a terrific hidden gem. We are normally name brand, nice hotels with all the amenities which come with them. We wanted a place near our booked activities... Sunset cruise, swim with manatees, etc. It was great. Despite the old school keyed entry (yes a key!) the decor was modern and the service offered nice little touches - like fresh pastries delivered before bed time. The AC system in our room was a little challenging, but not a big issue. Can walk to some restaurants and a charming little shopping area.

Great staff and very clean in all areas of the retreat.

We got an individualized tour of the property by the owner. It was set up well, beautiful grounds and our room was awesome! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the public spaces for snacks and coffee were nice as well.

Good

Excellent

Great location, safe, quiet, clean. Would stay there again.

Everything about our stay was excellent! This was for our anniversary, we were married 3 years ago and haven’t been able to get away. I have had some physical issues and we have not been able take the time and because of the hospital stays money was an issue. We got more than expected, I have traveled on business in the past and stayed in some 4 & 5 star hotels and got every bit the attention that they had at any of those hotels. We were left alone unless we made the contact. We loved this area and hope to visit and stay here again.

One of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed. Great location and awesome staff

Loved it. Perfect location for manatees. Walking to restaurants. Comfortable, clean large room

Nice clean. Staff was nice. Lace was a great little hidden gem. Within walking distance if just about everything we wanted to do in crystal river.

The room was so clean & the service was great. It's located in walking distance of the park & kayak launch. The pastry delivery each night was a great touch.

Facility was very clean and well maintained. A few suggestions from my point of view would be providing extra roll of toilet paper, moving coffee machine to breakfast area and providing more places to hang towels, cloths, etc in bathroom.
