swim with the manatees
Great place to stay. A bottle of wine was waiting for us as were 3 tasty macaroons. Later they brought us fresh warm pastry. Room was bright and spacious. Parking was across the street, was the only negative but no big deal.

A really nice Hotel with lovely staff. The rooms are pretty and spacious. We loved the fresh bakery on arrival and the coffee and complimentary breakfast (bagel, creamcheese, fruits, assorted jam etc.) was really good.

We were very surprised to be so close to Crystal River(where you can rent kayaks, etc.) and to very nice restaurants and shops.
The rooms were beautiful, recently updated. We were greeted by the freindly staff and then later was brought homemade pastries, another nice surprise. Breakfast was included, simple but very nice.
We will recommend this place to our friends and we'll be back!
