Good to know. Glad they were able to accommodate that (even though it isn't consistent with anything on their website, which may be why it was only permitted in person).
No one is doing bed checks lol, but in many hotels, they require more than one bed if you have more than two adults in a room. Worst case scenario, even if they refused to add your 3rd at check in (like they did for the other woman), you may luck out and find someone else with a solo reservation that can add your friend to their room (in name only).
Curious if the resort gave you any options other than what is on the website. We just booked Trendy Ocean View because my wife’s best friend is joining us.
