Were most of the other cabanas being utilized at that time? Perhaps the person at the cabana desk isn't cut in on the 18% !! (yikes)
I'm not sure how accurate their cabana bookings are. When we booked, all of them were available, and I grabbed #10. After a couple weeks I had picked up some AARP gift cards (basically 10% off), so I cancelled our booking and within a minute I went back it to grab it using the gift cards. #10 did not repopulate on the list, so I grabbed #5 (off to the side). I checked back a couple of other times over several days and #10 never came back as available. I seriously doubt in the minute of time that I had initially let it go, and came back, that someone else grabbed it.
Anyone care to give their opinion as to their preferred cabana?
