@ashhtayy oh ok. thanks. My WC sent me some pictures with lights. She told me the lights are built in but I don't know if that will be enough. I asked about some party lights and if we could rent something without renting the whole DJ equipment (because no one knows how to work it anyway haha). She sent me the choice of renting a light up dancefloor. However, for the amount of people we have that was another $1300, and for that price we might as well get a DJ for $1500 
. She also gave us the choice of renting some uplighting for $100 each so I think we're going to do that, but just wondering how many would be enough and how they would be set up. I think it would look super pretty for after dinner 
@TinkerSofi we do actually have a travel agent - one that we worked with for our wedding and she was great!! After saying that though I dumped her last week and found a new one today that is great!!
He gave me the email to contact AF directly. He had a ton of good things to say about the resort as well, but he did say that he was aware of just double beds. He did say that he was aware of new building so to check with them directly as to what's available. Even with a low cost to upgrade, I have a hard time asking people to pay a huge sum when it isn't our wedding. Doug and I, ok but not anyone else. We're watching prices and they actually have gone down but one category actually went up. We'll just have to see.
I'd like to stay with this resort after all the research work I've done and also really like everything about it. But this thing with double beds will very likely be a deal breaker.
I'm glad you found a good TA! Maybe he can also help you look around for other resorts that tick things off your wish list before you make your final decision . It seems like your old TA failed to give you a lot of important info and it sucks when you find these things afterwards.
You know your guests best, but if I was one I wouldn't mind having to stay in two double beds. It wouldn't be my preferred arrangement, but at the same we don't spend much time in our rooms so it's not a big deal. I do know that some people care more about this than others.
If the resort still doesn't quite convince you, I would sit down with your TA and tell him what you love about AF and see if he can find anything else that meets those requirements. I honestly don't know why they did the whole double beds thing, it really sucks 
. I didn't have any problems getting the venues, but probably because no one is nuts enough to get married in August over there haha. I also bugged them until they approved it. I think I sent them an email every few weeks asking about it. I would definitely take the Oriolla Grill into account. It's still outside, if it rains you're covered and they make it look really nice for the reception. That's definitely our plan b if it rains.
