Police: Couple ran up $10K tab at Four Seasons hotel using fake credit cards

PALM BEACH, Fla. — A South Florida couple spent a luxurious night at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, using fake names and a stolen credit card, authorities said.
 
The Palm Beach Post reports Javier Roura, 25, and Joanna Sanchez, 28, arrived at the hotel without reservations or luggage on July 3. The couple said they were tired from traveling, so the clerk expedited the check-in process, obtaining a minimal amount of personal information, said authorities.
 
Palm Beach police said the couple, who identified themselves as Mr. and Mrs. Sebastian Spinel, ordered room service, an $800 bottle of whiskey and charged some $8,000 in the hotel's boutique. Their one-night stay cost $10,353.
 
Police tracked them to Hialeah, where they were arrested Wednesday on multiple charges.

According to the Palm Beach Post, Roura and Sanchez were released Thursday after posting bail — $12,000 for Roura and $8,000 for Sanchez.
