The property is beautiful but the guests are loud, the lights are bright but the hallway is so bright it bleeds into the room at night. It would be better if the hotel dimmed the hallway from 11 pm to 6 am to remind guests that people may be sleeping. Cleaning staff are friendly and helpful. The property offers a great dog park but clients don't always bother to bring their animals there. Hotel was very pleasant, but heated pool was unavailable.

There should be a bus traveling from one hotel (Riding) to Equestrian. Having to use a car or uber is ridiculous. Hotel is amazing. Staff was great.

Nice new hotel in Ocala
New hotel beautifully appointed. We found it odd that there were no dressers or drawers in the room to keep our clothing in. Other than that, it was very nice.

Amazing property! Must see and plenty to do onsite. If you want to lounge feel free and rent a golf cart and enjoy entire compound. We go with our children and it’s a great family vacation.
