Great experience! Beautiful hotel, beautiful grounds, and nice staff. I left my headphones in my hotel room and they found them and mailed them back to me - above and beyond! Only downside is the hotel can be hard to find the first time.

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.

From the moment you arrive, staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. Thomas C. went out of his way to assist us with a booking issue we experienced. Every member we encountered was happy, helpful and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. One of the best experiences EVER! Many thanks and we are looking forward to the next stay.
