Great place to stay in Crystal River
We enjoyed our stay at Paddle Tail. Handy to have kitchenette to fix some of our own meals. Staff was friendly and gave us first floor suite to make life easier with an ankle injury! Used their onsite service of booking boat tour to see Manatees.

Great Location. Awesome Staff
The staff was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area. They gave me tons of recommendations for restaurants and places to go why I was visiting. My room was clean and had a great view of the water from the balcony.

Fabulous
So many places to stay and dive…this is the one to book! The tour company is right in front of the hotel (easy for that 6:30 am dive), the hot tub is HOT, the pool is nice and warm, the restaurants are walkable, and the property is super clean and safe.

Nice for a moderate price
Front desk staff was helpful, room was nicer than expected, location was convenient. Lots of construction going on which detracted from the overall experience.

Wait until construction is done
I absolutely love the location and the tours offered. It was very loud and not relaxing! They're constructing a new building they were also working on the stairs which included a jackhammer all day. There was always wo
Loud disel construction trucks going around. Nothing like starting your morning on vacation with the backup beeping of a truck and continued throughout the day.
