There are a couple of areas for improvement that I want to share as well. First, I was pretty annoyed that we had to check bags just to take beach towels with us for the whole family. They really should provide beach towels given that the beach is the main attraction of the area. Secondly, we were there during the NHL and NBA playoffs and were sad to see that they didn't have live TV channels on the TV in the living room. We couldn't watch games airing on even basic cable TNT - so beware sports fans!"
