🧠 What does cama doble mean?

A "cama doble" in Spanish refers to a double bed, typically found in hotel rooms or larger bedrooms. It's large enough to comfortably sleep two people. While sometimes it might imply a bed with a single mattress, it can also refer to two single beds pushed together (sometimes called "twin beds" in English). It's always a good idea to clarify with the hotel or host what kind of bed setup "cama doble" refers to in a specific context.
