My husband & I just stayed here. While he was playing golf I was able to complete some work, have a relaxing time at the pool, which by the way, many families seemed to be really enjoying as well. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the resort and rooms, the staff was friendly, warm and VERY accommodating. We really... more

This was a return visit to the Plantation Inn for my husband and myself. The attention to detail that should make this hotel live up to its advertising is going downhill quickly. Upon entering the lobby to check in, the musty smell was very pronounced (we later discovered this same musty smell extended down every hallway) and the only employee... more

Well, my family and decided to leave our home in the Tampa/St. Pete area and just drive down 19 and see where the road takes us. It took us to Crystal River, which is somewhere we have driven through but not really stopped to enjoy. We were on the hunt for the "Nature Coast" so old Florida. We came across... more

This hotel is located in a nice place and the grounds are very pretty. While the pool was nice for the kids I definitely felt that it was for corporate retreats and the kids around were just tolerated by the business travelers trying to network. It appears to be for families with shuffle board, horseshoes, croquet, etc. but it was... more

Just returned from a business trip to this hotel. Despite the cooler weather for this time of year in Florida, the hotel, food and staff were outstanding. We were able to see many manatees on the boat ride, and finally got some sun by the pool. We'll be back for the typically warmer Florida weather. Thanks, more

This was our second trip to Plantation Inn, this time we were housed in a new part of the hotel. The room was lovely, the bed oh so comfortable. While we were there, there was a convention of Model T owers, complete with their cars which was an added bonus. The quality of the hot food at the breakfast buffet... more

As a 12 year professional in the hotel industry, I am quite realistic about how hard it is to keep it all running "perfectly". Leaky toilets, room service forgetting items and saggy ceiling tiles are all things that sometimes happen and you can't control it (all things that happened at the Plantation). GOOD and even GREAT service are completely in... more

We have been here three times in three years. We love this place. It is wonderful. The rooms are all redone. The pool sits on the river. The golf is right across the street. The food is good. The people are friendly. more

Do not be decieved by the web photos, this place is not what it seems! This is a recurrent problem. Look at other reviews. We made reservations for two nights months in advance through Expedia and got confirmation. We drove hours across the state to get there and arrived around 3 PM only to be told that they did not... more
