Even when booking a standard room with 2 separate beds, they may arrive pushed together as one double bed by default. A call to reception got them separated and made up individually within 5 minutes — worth checking on arrival if you need beds apart.
Twin beds on request
When a hotel is overbooked (e.g. 3 guests placed in a double room), extra guests may get folding cots, and children — even a 3-year-old — may be given a playpen-style crib instead of a real bed, making the room feel very cramped.

The bed in the room had a soft padded headboard — noted while staying as a couple. Also mentioned that villa ground-floor rooms tend to have dampness and insects.

In main building rooms, guests noted minimal furniture — for example, only one nightstand by the bed, which worked fine for a solo traveler, though it's unclear if this is standard across all rooms.

A standard room without a balcony came with one double bed and no hooks for hanging or drying clothes. The guests were initially frustrated but managed to switch rooms the next day.

Another standard room with a single double bed — a comfortable option for a couple.

Early check-in at no extra charge: a call at 11am confirmed the room was ready. The bed was a full king-size, and the sofa bed was wide enough for a child to sleep comfortably.

If travelling with a baby, notify the hotel in advance about needing a crib. Most hotels only have playpens available — these are set up and made up in the room before arrival if requested ahead of time.
