8.6/10 Excellent! (116 reviews)
Beautiful property, rooms and restaurants. Two beautiful pools with lounge chairs and umbrellas. They loaned you cute chairs to bring to the beach across the street and they have bikes you can use during the day. Everything was great, the hotel is close to everything, shopping, restaurants and beach. Right in the middle of everything. Rooms run a tad bit humid so that’s something to consider (stayed in a deluxe room) if you are sensitive to that but the AC works great.

Fort Island Gulf Beach

If a restful vacation is part of your travel plans, Fort Island Gulf Beach might be the perfect place to seek out during your trip to Crystal River. While you're in the area, stroll along the riverfront.

Fort Island Gulf Beach
Located on the West Coast of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, this beautiful 50 year old luxury resort is surrounded by the natural springs of King's Bay. This bay and Crystal River are home to more than 400 West Indian Manatees that migrate each year to the warmth of the springs. This shot of the tree-line reflected on the water was taken from the Gazebo on the small peninsula off of the pool area. A nice place to wind up with your date or spouse and some champagne and strawberries. #treetrove
