Our resort’s spring-fed waterfront on King’s Bay is internationally sought out for swimming with the manatees. With newly renovated rooms we are the ideal spot in Crystal River, FL to rest, relax and have a great experience. With what the resort offers, we are an ideal destination to make great memories for you and your family. The kayak & boat rentals provide an immersive experience from our private launch boat ramp for a variety of marine life activities such as fishing, scalloping, and manatee tours. The best part of our resort is that you can do all of this without leaving our property. Captain Mike’s Swimming with Manatees, located conveniently in our lobby, provides all of these great tours and activities. Bring your boat! We have ample parking for your trailer and several boat slips to keep your boat moored to. Crystal River downtown has an array of local shops, cuisine, and libations for guests to accent their destination activities within a short walk.
