After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our reservation six months(early),but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We(tell)that our rooms hadn’t been reserved for that week,for the week after. I didn’t understandthis would happen and my credit card had already been chargedthe reservation. What’s worse, the hotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering what to do, the manager came out. She was(surprise)helpful. She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room ontop floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren’t charged extra.
The next day, my brother and I went to the beachwe watched some people play volleyball. We got a little(sunburn),but the day had been so relaxing that we didn’t mind.
