Equus Inn Ocala

10/10 Excellent

"I like the seating outside under the pergola with a fireplace and the seating area by the waterfall"

The Riding Academy Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful family stay at The Riding Academy. The property is beautifully designed, thoughtfully maintained, and offers a lovely balance of luxury, comfort, and convenience. The accommodations are exceptionally spacious, making them ideal for families traveling with children or pets. The attention to detail throughout the property makes it feel both elevated and welcoming. The dining experiences are equally exceptional. The restaurants offer wonderful variety, with an impressive selection of options for guests with gluten allergies and dietary restrictions. Even Emma’s Patisserie has delightful gluten-free offerings, and the macarons are absolutely incredible! It was refreshing to find a destination where dietary accommodations didn’t mean compromising on quality or experience. One recommendation for future guests is to download the World Equestrian Center (WEC) app before arriving. It’s an excellent resource for navigating the property, exploring dining and shopping options, and making the most of everything the resort has to offer. Overall, a beautiful destination for a relaxing family getaway, with exceptional dining, thoughtful amenities, remarkable staff and plenty to enjoy beyond the accommodations themselves. We look forward to returning!"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Silver Springs - Ocala by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean & comfy room. Staff very friendly & the breakfast was great. Real food with choices, next time we go to Ocala National Forest, we’re are staying again. Only 1 thing wasn’t good, the USB ports to charge our devices in room 216 didn’t work. I informed the staff the next morning and they quickly offered outlet plugs to us. We never used them tho, we were Jeeping all day, just an inconvenience having everything plugged into our jeep while off roading."
