This little inn is convenient to King's Bay and other spots in Cystal River. The bed(in a "deluxe King room") was horrible. A really thick foam mattress topper was not comfortable AT ALL. $150 'security deposit' was required upon check in...because the room had some nice furniture in it. On the plus side -each morning a bag with croissants was attached to the door..that was nice. Pricey for the accommodations offered IMO, but walking distance to everything downtown. Amy's Cafe' was wonderful and their staff is delightful! ##### Angela Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Oct 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The staff were so friendly, the room was very clean and comfy. They left an amazing little treat at our door in the evening...best little croissant ever! We had an amazing little weekend. Thank you Retreat at Crystal Manatee. We will be back! ##### Kelly Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelley May 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property, and close to all the springs and activities in town.Loved the quietness and upgraded shower. ##### Shelley Stayed 1 night in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### April Jan 3, 2025 Friendly staff & clean room!! ##### April Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### laney Apr 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The Retreat was absolutely adorable and clean.
