This quaint and well maintained hotel has a manicured courtyard that leads to each room. The outdoor areas provide tranquil seating while the room was large and well appointed. The staff was great and very welcoming. The continental breakfast was ample. The location is excellent and walking distance to everything Crystal Springs has to offer.

The staff and location were fantastic. Fresh pastries were delivered to our room each night. We had everything we needed and we were within walking distance to a great bar, St. John’s Tavern. The hotel itself is unique, with each room having its own decor. The shower was incredible, too. We would definitely return to this place.

The room was updated and spotless. The staff was pleasant. We were comfortable. Our only negative was that they hold to a strict 3 pm check in so we spent several hours waiting and honestly the hotel did not appear to be that busy.

The hotel is in a charming section of town, a block from the river and within walking distance of Three Sisters Springs and places to eat and rent watercraft. The room was clean, and the staff kind and helpful. The breakfast was basic but adequate. Our only complaint is that the bed was squishy, making it difficult to sleep.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Retreat. It’s very conveniently located in the midst of the kings Bay Area in crystal river. There’s some nice really good restaurants within walking distance or a 5 minute drive. The place was super clean and the coffee maker in the breakfast area was first rate (fresh grind and brew for every cup). The only downside was no WiFi in our room (room 6). It was available right outside. We weren’t visiting for the WiFi, as all the outdoor experience and beautiful surrounding environment more than made up for that!! We’ll stay again for sure!
