I’ve been writing back and forth about your booking 2 bedrooms with 2 king size beds and when we got to Florida I had to sleep on a twin size bed because there were none with 2 king beds as discussed before booking! I have not gotten resolution and now I’m home! I would like a partial refund of 1,000 since you messed up my booking I would not have booked if I knew the bed situation

The people were friendly on arrival. The condo was very clean and looked nice although very sparse. We had reserved a 2 bedroom condo with 2 kings. We received 1 king and 2 double beds. No wifi password in the condo and it took 36 hours to get anyone to provide it. 8 hangers in the entire condo, and no extra toilet paper although one was almost finished. So was just an odd experience. Main pool and beach were beautiful however.
