Best Western Crystal River Resort

Located in the middle of the Nature Coast on the west coast of Florida about 80 miles from Tampa, Orlando and Gainesville. Easy driving distance from all major airports and all central Florida attractions or dive destinations. Guests can relax in the swimming pool and whirlpool, or order a refreshing beverage at the Tiki bar and watch the sunset. Nature lovers are invited to rent a canoe, or take a sightseeing tour on an airboat or pontoon boat. Water enthusiasts come each October through March to encounter manatees that frequent the warm spring waters. Divers gather to challenge the deep water springs or nearby Rainbow River. Fishermen quietly wait and see what today's catch will be. Many reflect on the natural beauty of the salt marshes, mangrove swamps and native birds.
