A British mother holidaying in Spain has sparked fury after she reserved a staggering eight sunbeds by the pool for her family—only to leave them unused for hours.
The incident, which took place at a popular resort, saw the woman place towels and personal belongings on the loungers early in the morning, despite her family not arriving until much later in the day.
Fellow holidaymakers and locals were left seething at the selfish behaviour, with many taking to social media to vent their frustration. "It’s just pure entitlement," one angry guest commented.
Poolside Chaos
Witnesses reported that the sunbeds remained empty for most of the morning, while other guests struggled to find a spot to relax. "People were walking around for ages looking for seats, and there were just these eight beds sitting there with towels on them," said one onlooker.
Resort staff reportedly refused to intervene, leaving tensions to simmer among guests. Some even resorted to removing the towels themselves, leading to heated exchanges.
The Unwritten Rules of Sunbed Reservations
The controversy highlights the ongoing debate over sunbed etiquette in holiday resorts. While some travellers argue that reserving loungers is a harmless tradition, others see it as a selfish act that ruins the experience for everyone else.
Many resorts have tried to crack down on the practice by implementing strict rules, but enforcement remains inconsistent.
