A view of the karst window from inside the Devil's Den Spring. The cave has an underwater spring that stays at 72 degrees year round. You can snorkel or scuba dive inside. So far this has been my favorite experience in Florida!
Visiting the manatees at Three Sisters Springs. The water is stunning and you can even snorkel with them. The manatees come to the springs in the winter since the water temperature stays at 74 degrees.

Check-in was great. Room was fine except we had 4 people and the sofa bed was not made up or a mattress pad supplied until we asked. Would have liked more options for dining so we didn’t have to drive off resort.
