A mother's dream holiday turned into a nightmare after she was forced to cut her trip short due to the relentless battle over sunbeds at her resort. The so-called 'sunbed wars' left her family stressed and exhausted, prompting an early departure.
The Sunbed Struggle
What was meant to be a relaxing family break quickly descended into chaos as guests engaged in aggressive 'towel politics'—reserving sunbeds with towels at dawn, only to disappear for hours. The mum, who wished to remain anonymous, described the situation as 'unfair' and 'utterly exhausting.'
Resort Rules Ignored
Despite the resort's policy against reserving sunbeds, enforcement was lax, leaving families like hers scrambling for a spot by the pool. 'We paid good money for this holiday, only to spend half of it stressed about finding a place to sit,' she lamented.
Early Exit
After days of frustration, the family made the difficult decision to leave early. 'It wasn’t worth the stress,' she said. 'We just wanted to relax, not fight for a sunbed every morning.'
The incident highlights a growing issue in holiday resorts, where 'sunbed wars' are becoming an all-too-common problem for travellers seeking a peaceful escape.
