While we have never stayed at Love Hotel - we go there on every trip to the island at least once. We were there two weeks ago and got chairs on the beach (free). We purchased drinks, but ate at the Lolos so didn't buy food. I will tell you it was a very slow week. I would imagine January is very different so don't know if loungers are free with food/beverage purchase then. We enjoy the kind of "cool" vibe of the place, have always gotten good service, and they have decent restrooms. We are fans.
