Stayed here at the beginning of our trip (currently out here for 3 weeks). Would definitely recommend the breakfast - lots of choice, cereal, fruit, pastries, cooked items and an omelette station!

I’ve just checked the Hertz location on 192 as mentioned for July and it’s £1,000 more for the rental than Winter Haven. I’m guessing it’s because you are booking for 12 months’ time.
