\n British travelers have escalated their competition for sunbeds to extreme levels by staying on recliners throughout the night to
\n secure the most favorable position beside the pool at a Spanish hotel
\n .\n<\/p>\n

\n Ben Smith was shocked when he saw that the top lounge chairs at his Tenerife hotel had been occupied \u2014 three hours prior to the pool opening.\n<\/p>\n

\n Although it was still dark outdoors, most of the poolside loungers were taken \u2014 seemingly by guests who had spent the night there to secure their spot.\n<\/p>\n

\n Tourist Ben, 30, from Sheffield, referred to the strange situation as a ‘vicious cycle’.\n<\/p>\n

\n He recorded video of the strange ceremony at the \u00a3259 per person per night Gf Fanabe Hotel \u2014 a four-star hotel that appears to have been affected by this year’s sunbed conflicts.\n<\/p>\n

\n The video was recorded on Monday, August 25, at the beginning of Ben’s two-week summer break.\n<\/p>\n

\n “People rest on deck chairs to claim their place,” he mentioned.\n<\/p>\n

\n They keep the beds reserved, yet the hotel enforces a rule where if your bed remains empty, they take away the towels\u2014so they simply lie on top of them.\n<\/p>\n

\n Some appear to be resting.”
\n “Several seem to be sleeping.”
\n “A few are evidently fast asleep.”
\n “It looks like some are in deep sleep.”
\n “There are those who seem to have fallen asleep.\n<\/p>\n

\n It’s somewhat foolish. I understand why individuals engage in it, yet it forms a harmful cycle, as one might say.\n<\/p>\n

\n They are the ones responsible for the issue they wish to escape.\n<\/p>\n

\n If individuals did not book accommodations they weren’t going to use, there would be no problem.\n<\/p>\n

\n I haven’t noticed the beds being fully occupied with people, only with towels.\n<\/p>\n

\n Recently, there was only one bed shared among three of us, and a woman generously offered us one of hers \u2014 it wasn’t needed, and she asked us to remove her towel.\n<\/p>\n

\n I suppose, in a way, it’s kind of her, but then again, why is her towel placed there when she isn’t using it?\n<\/p>\n

\n ‘It\u2019s mostly selfishness.’\n<\/p>\n

\n The Gf Fanabe Hotel has been contacted for a response.\n<\/p>\n
