The decor and bathrooms need updating.

It was a beautiful property but it does need some updating. Overall, though everything was clean and comfortable. We loved renting Kayaks and paddleboards. The pool was also beautiful, and the outdoor games were a hit with my family

Bath tub had black hairs in the back of the tub. Our room was next to a noisy wedding hospitality sweet.

Nice location. Interior was pretty. Nice tiki bar and pool area

The fact that we could swim with manatees

Very loud. Too many children in hot tub! They were eating unattended. No pool towels at all the staff didn’t refill them. It was pricey for drinks. The hotel itself needs work.

The area.

THE BATHROOM IN ROOM 137! The sink stopper was broken, the toilet was too low for a senior without any grab bars available; the bottom of the tub was stained and dirty; the faucet dripping; the caulking around the tub and toilet was messy and dirty looking; the tile was a dark brown and was stained and looked dirty; there weren't any pictures or any kind of decor in the bathroom. It was like camping in a not so good place. I was very disappointed. Everything else was excellent.

Staff was efficient and super friendly; Grounds were fairly well kept/landscaped; bar/pool bar; breakfast, lunch, dinner was available and very good; service excellent

The property was well used and in need of a lot on maintenance issues,all cosmetic. The maid service seemed to be on a every other day schedule.

Amenities were nice, restaurant (82) was good,staff in the restaurant were excellent.

My son cut his foot badly in the pool ( broken water feature at the bottom of the pool )

Property was fantastic, my son cut his foot badly in the pool ( broken water feature at the bottom of the pool ) . Rooms were nice, food was good, bar help and facilities was good, wait staff was good . Front desk needs more help, freedom boat club at that location was awesome, really nice value.

The room was dirty mirrors had hand marks on them counters. Had coffee stains on them. Hair in the shower were sticky. Try to talk to housekeeping, but no English and gave me dirty looks I understand everything was outdated, but it could’ve at least been clean. What a shame.

I liked its location on the water

Under staffed presently but it’s hard times so be patient

Great location, lots of activities, great pool and friendly staff.

Overpriced! Restaurant staff was unfriendly.

Just a standard resort. hotel. Overpriced. check in at 4 instead of 3 like most hotels

Stayed in March 2024

Older property- that clearly has the right intention but its just old.

It had all the activities - adventure center. Pool- etc The rooms had no carpet- which was great- and you could smell the thorough cleaning they gave it before we entered.

A little tired in places but still a lovely place to stay

Pool, surroundings and pelicans

Really nothing. Restaurant there a bit pricey and lunch not worth it. Food not that good

Location

Stayed in February 2024

Lots of noise, got only 1 bed for a party of 3, website had wrong hours for the breakfast and staff really didn't seem to mind.

Stayed in February 2024

It’s a little worn out and could definitely use some updates. This was most obvious in our bathroom.

I liked the ambience and the fact that there were multiple activities available onsite.

Stayed in January 2024

Restaurant/ Breakfast was not up to par, but that could have been a one time thing, the rooms could use a little more updating (perhaps a recaulking or Grout in showers and possibly replacing some showers or tub basins with new.)

The resort is in one of the most beautiful locations and has so much to offer. I can't honestly say anything bad about the place but would like to mention that it has the potential to be so much more than it is. Plantation Resort first caught my eye online with the beautiful photos and proximity to the 3 sisters' springs. Upon check-in, I noticed the lobby felt like I traveled back in time. A beautiful round staircase leads upstairs, and the dining room and bar were just off to the side. The hotel has a little bit of an antiquated feel, but that's what I was hoping for! The resort has so much to offer, from massages to outdoor activities, restaurants, a bar, and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the water. We weren't 100% satisfied with our first room due to the noise and location, but the front desk was happy to accommodate and moved us to a suite with a king bed! The customer service and staff are all amazing, and the hotel/ resort definitely has the potential to be the nicest resort in the area. Beds were clean and comfortable, food was ok (maybe go elsewhere for breakfast), and the staff and resort grounds are second to none. I will definitely be staying here again next time I come up to visit my brother.

My room had not been dusted, the rooms weren’t sound proof f, we had a big gap under the door leading to the hall, the hallways were tile and very loud, we could hear conversations in the hall and adjoining room. Need sound proofing!!! A huge distraction.

Loved all the amenities on the property - the tours, swim with manatees, tiki bar, pool, jacuzzi, activities, Location, golf course and helpful staff.

Stayed in January 2024

Facility was rundown in the hotel part. Did not match the advertising pictures

Stayed in December 2023

Our key card did not work for our outside seating area door. And we couldn't get in through our front door bc we put that lock on inside the door. It took a long time for my husband to find someone to help us get in, and we were cold and wet from the pool. The restaurant food was not that great, and the homemade bright blue and red tortilla chips I had were definitely not homemade. Service was very slow, as well.

The outside environment was nice, just a bit muddy after the rain. I also think we came during some renovations. Our room was fine, but we could clearly hear the room next to us- their talking and their tv. The location was conveniently near the manatee attractions.

Refurbishment is mostly finished but details remain and dining area could be improved further.

Spectacular location, great facilities, comfortable room and friendly helpful staff. Adventure Centre very good.

Stayed in December 2023

We were not able to get in our room until 6 pm. Met family there and wasn’t anywhere comfortable to visit Manager suggested outside where it was drizzling and cold

Beautiful grounds

Stayed in December 2023

Pool was closed after dark due to the lights being out, so no swimming or hot tube after hours.

Right on the river which was great! The views were amazing.
