When is the best time to go to Meadowcrest?

The best time to visit Meadowcrest is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. During these months, you'll experience pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C, and significantly less rainfall. This makes it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities like exploring the nature trails, relaxing on the beaches, and taking advantage of the warm sunshine. The evenings are also comfortable, great for dining outdoors. For those who prefer fewer crowds and slightly cooler temperatures, visiting in late November or early December, or in April, can be particularly appealing. You'll still enjoy excellent weather but might find the popular attractions a bit less busy, allowing for a more relaxed experience. The wet season, from May to October, brings higher temperatures, humidity, and daily afternoon thunderstorms.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Meadowcrest hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Meadowcrest hotel?

Top Meadowcrest Hotel Reviews

The Port Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Although the hotel is very old and well worn, the room was very large and very clean! The bed and bedding was also comfortable. Great views. The staff was friendly and polite. I would definitely stay here again."

Rodeway Inn Homosassa

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are beautiful and clean. The outside may leave a bit to be desired, but the rooms are great!! I did struggle with the next room. There were several kids, and it was a lot of noise, but the actual property was wonderful, staff was great, rooms were so clean, beds were very comfortable. It is in a convenient location. There is a bar and restaurant I did not try, but it seemed the locals approved. There was no distraction from the bar or restaurant. We were just a few doors down and had no noise issues from that. I highly recommend this hotel, and I am a bit of a snob. I was a little worried because of the price, but my sister and I are GEN-X er's, the real OG's, so I knew we could handle anything, lol. The rooms actually do look like the pictures!!"

Snorkel with the Manatees in Your Back Yard - Kayaks Included

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location. Having kayaks and the ability to explore the nearby springs seeing fish and manatee every day was amazing. The hosts were very responsive to all the questions and needs we had during our stay. Highly recommend this property."

The Gator Den Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I love this little gem ! Very clean ! The staff were amazing! Brent was super helpful, knowledgeable and patient :) The housekeepers were very friendly and kind. The servers, bartenders (Ashley, Fabian and Dave) and barbacks so friendly and fun ! I simply LOVE this place :) Thank you, we'll definitely be back !"
