Although inhabited for thousands of years before European settlers arrived, historically, 'Florida' is the oldest surviving place name in the United States. It was named by a Spanish conquistador in 1513 just after Easter and the term name means 'flowery Easter'. In the mid 16th century the first European settlement in continental United States was established in Pensacola. Throughout the following centuries of turmoil with French Huguenots, Spanish settlers and Britain all wanting a piece of the pie as well as Indian attacks and the three Seminole Wars, the state had very mixed fortunes. By the mid 20th century, Florida was the least populated of the southern states and it was only the advent of World War ll that saw a rise in its economy as people moved in their droves in search of jobs. Today, it is the fourth most populous state in America.

Afternoon thunderstorms are a feature of the rainy season so guests need to remember their rain gear.
