Plantation Resort On Crystal River, Ascend Hotel Collection - A Golf and Nature Resort with Manatee Tours, Spa, and Three Restaurants
Located along Kings Bay, this Crystal River hotel features the world's only organized manatee swimming program through its Adventure Center. The 196-room Plantation Resort offers three dining venues: West 82° Bar & Grill, the Tiki Bar, and the 19th Hole Sports Bar & Grill, all serving locally-caught seafood. A 27-hole golf course designed by Mark Mahannah includes an 18-hole championship layout across from the main building. The property encompasses a 96000-gallon lagoon-style pool, Spa Bleu (an Aveda spa), and 50000 square feet of event space accommodating up to 300 guests. Four two-story accommodation blocks overlook canal tributaries, while recreational amenities include volleyball courts, shuffleboard, horseshoe pits, and a croquet lawn. Situated 70 miles north of Tampa International Airport, Plantation Resort On Crystal River, Ascend Hotel Collection provides direct access to fishing, scalloping, and boating activities.
Pros
The only facility worldwide offering organized manatee swimming experiences
Free boat docking available on private seawall
Full-service Aveda spa offering massage, facials, and salon services
Three distinct on-site restaurants serving fresh local seafood
Cons
73-mile distance from Tampa International Airport
No room service available except for special circumstances
“This resort's greatest strength lies in its unrivaled access to Crystal River's manatees, a truly special offering. The extensive event spaces cater well to large gatherings, while the Aveda spa adds a touch of pampering to the nature-focused experience. While some areas may show their age, the potential for a memorable, activity-filled stay remains strong.”
