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.

It was amazing. Very clean, the staff was very friendly. We basically stayed on the property except to go snorkeling and kayaking. We rented a golf cart and rode around the property. The pool is amazing and huge. And the food was awesome.
