Awesome Stay
I had an excellent stay at this hotel! The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, making it feel like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with a smile. This was truly one of the most comfortable stays I’ve ever had. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and pleasant experience!

Wonderful place to stay
The staff was extremely friendly and ready to assist. The view of the arena from our room was amazing. Everything was relaxed and laid back. Plenty of things to do and see. The holiday light displays and shows were excellent.

Are you kidding me
“Are you kidding me” were the first words out of my mouth when I entered my hotel room. This was after already being overwhelmed ably an incredible entrance and lobby decorated with high end couture furniture, decor, and equestrian artwork. This place is an equestrian dream. My hotel room overlooks a warm up ring and I could watch horses first thing in the am from my bed with a cup of coffee all the way into the late evening. I was only in town for one evening to try horses in Ocala and was planning to just book any old hotel since I wouldn’t be spending much time in it but I booked The Equestrian on a whim despite the price tag and I am so glad I did. What an experience and I’ll absolutely be back. As a solo traveler, I headed to the bar at the yellow pony to have a martini and a light dinner. It was lively and I’ve never sat at a bar and looked around to be surrounded by all fellow equestrians. It’s such a cool thing. The breakfast at patisserie was also delicious. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We evacuated to the resort for Hurricane Milton. It is a beautiful resort with fine dining, a nice bar and a terrific pastry shop for coffee and breakfast. The staff was amazingly helpful. i would definitely recommend the Equestrian to friends and would be happy to stay again.
