I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. the location was absolutely perfect for exploring the natural beauty of the area. Just steps away from the waterfront and within walking distance of good restaurants, I couldn't have asked for a better spot. The hotel itself was charming and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with air conditioning that provided much-needed relief from the Florida heat. It was a lovely touch that added to the overall charm of this hotel.

All in all, my stay at this hotel was fantastic and there really isn't much that I could fault.

I absolutely loved my stay at this charming property. The room was beautifully updated and spacious, with a comfortable bed and fantastic rain shower. The location, situated between two parks with a small beach, was perfect for exploring. The owners and staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The complimentary pastries in the evening were a delightful treat. Can't wait to visit again!

There was nothing I didn't like.

Newly refurbished, comfortable room. Convenient access to breakfast room. Exceptional location for our purposes. Neat, modern, rooms. Self-service breakfast. Convenient for dining and leisure activities. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice interior and amenities.

Not obvious to find.

Great value for the money, beautiful European-style rooms within walking distance of tour companies. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and the cleanliness of the room was top-notch. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was excellent. The hotel also had a lovely garden with seating areas to enjoy the outdoors, and there were pastries delivered to our door each day.

Breakfast selection could be improved with more variety.

Great value for money in a wonderful location near attractions and restaurants. Room was newly updated, modern, and had very comfortable beds. the staff was friendly and helpful, providing complementary access to breakfast before our early morning tour. the shower was also a very enjoyable treat. a very impressive stay.

There were a few downsides. There was no rack to dry towels, and there were no proper kitchenware to use the microwave.

The service housekeeping was great and the hotel provided a sitting area, terrace, dining table, and garden furniture for our comfort. The hotel's location is within walking distance of good restaurants, making it easy to find something to eat. we had a great time, and we appreciate the golf course, no pets allowed, and non-smoking rooms here.

The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive. Everything was spotless and well-maintained. the staff were friendly and always ready to help with any request. the location was perfect, with easy access to the water for kayaking and paddleboarding. It was also close to restaurants and attractions in the area. Another great advantage was the pastries that were delivered to our door each day. It was a nice touch and added a little something extra to our stay.

There were a few areas that could be improved upon. the bathroom lacked counter space which made it difficult to organize toiletries.

The hotel boasts of a convenient location, right next to a serene park on the water, which is perfect for leisurely strolls. You can head out to the attraction for manatee tours and easily get back to the hotel for a shower, and parking spots are free. The renovated room greets you with sleek and modern interiors, not to mention, the duvet on the bed is a pleasant surprise from the typical American bedding. The quiet AC ensures you have a blissful rest.

The hotel lacks clear directions on the shower, which can be frustrating.

We loved the newly renovated room - super clean and comfy beds. Location was ideal, right next to a park and close to everything. The hotel provided delicious pastries and a cappuccino machine. Staff was friendly and the shower was amazing.

None.

Could not be improved in any way.

The rooms at the Retreat At Crystal Manatee were beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, providing a great night's sleep. I loved the continental breakfast that was delivered the night before, offering a variety of delicious options. The location was perfect, with easy access to activities, restaurants, and shops in the area.

As bike riders, we loved the convenient location, with plenty of nature, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. The addition of a separate room to lock up our bikes was a fantastic amenity.

Felt amazing, nothing to gripe about.

Our stay at Retreat At Crystal Manatee was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful surroundings of the quiet neighborhood, with its beautiful trees and proximity to the water, shops, and restaurants. The staff was incredibly friendly and the room was tastefully decorated and impeccably clean. We were delighted to find fresh pastries delivered to our room every evening. The bed was comfortable, and my husband especially loved the panel tower system shower. The small continental breakfast area with a cappuccino machine was an added bonus. If you're seeking a tranquil and relaxing place to stay, this is the perfect choice.

100% Recommend this hotel.

The rooms were newly updated and very clean. It was great to have a comfortable bed and new bathroom. the location was top-notch, within walking distance to local attractions and restaurants. the cost was very affordable and a good value.

While the rooms had stylish designs, they lacked basic conveniences such as outlets by the bed, bedside tables for water, and lights that could be reached from the bed. there was no staff onsite overnight, so when our A/C broke late at night, we had to call a night number multiple times before getting through to anyone.

This hotel is great value for the money. The rooms by the river are so peaceful and relaxing, with air conditioning and modern amenities. The location is ideal, close to everything! You can easily walk to the center of town or explore all the manatee related activities nearby. Plus, the breakfast is delicious and the staff is very friendly and attentive.

All was well and we had a fantastic stay!
