We only stayed one night. Next time we will stay longer. The hotel is doing some building/recovering but it didnt affect the stay. We will definitely be back. Crystal Springs is a great area as well.

Too much light
We had too much lught shining through when trying to sleep. Made for a restless night. Other than that, it was ok. We could see the bay and the pool.

Needs to be more comfortable
This was a sparse room - no dresser drawers, no real closet and budget beds.

Paddletail is wonderful! 10/10 experience from start to finish. Stacy at the desk was so friendly and knowledgeable, and the adventure center was prompt with scheduling our event. Sarah, our tour guide made sure we got an up close and personal experience with manatees and was friendly and very knowledgeable.

Family Stay
Staff is so friendly and property is very convenient to manatee tours. Check out is late to accommodate early morning tours.

OK but not impressed
Stayed in a handicapped room (although didn't need one). The light switch for the bathroom was behind the door on outside. So you had to close the bathroom door and turn the light on, then open the door to do into bathroom. Doesn't make sense in a regular room and especially not a handicapped room.
Bed was very comfortable and room clean and nice. Friendly staff.
There "breakfast included" was misleading. It was a "bag to go". Tiny orange, tiny granola bar and bottle of water. With all the hype we seen online, we were disappointed. It was in January, so maybe it's better in warmer weather.

Horrible Hotel
DO NOT STAY HERE. Rooms are not as advertised. Stuck in unrebovatwd building. Cleanliness and condition are questionable.
No hot tub as advertised. Water $3 a bottle. Undrinkable coffee $3. Hard Croissant $3. Woman at counter is
“not all there” - rude and offensive.
This is a horrible place and no one there seems to care.
Think twice.

Came to swim with the manatees
Chose to stay here as we were coming to swim with the manatees and they had a company on site so we also chose to use them.
The newly renovated rooms were nice.
We had a little problem with our first room and they happily moved us.
There are restaurants very close by also

Nice clean rooms
Room was very nice and clean. Area was easy in and out. Main desk service was very slow, phone rings and goes to reservation answering machine. This was not helpful at all. Garbage trucks going by in the morning, very loud.

Great location and price. It was our second stay to float the Spring and find manatees. Hotel lobby was clean, welcoming, and provided lots of information and activities about the town. We stayed in the room with a kitchenette. The beds were uncomfortable and noisy and the kitchenette is not fully stocked with basics for cooking and cleaning. Hot tub was not working.
