Benidorm's Daily Dash: Tourists Race to Claim Poolside Sun Loungers

Benidorm, Spain A recent video circulating online has once again shed light on the competitive ritual of sun lounger reservation at popular holiday resorts. The footage, captured from a high floor of a hotel in Benidorm, shows a large group of tourists queuing patiently before the pool area opens, only to then rush en masse to claim sunbeds with their towels. The video, uploaded by user katt2912, depicts guests waiting in a line that stretches along a pathway, overlooking a large swimming pool. As a barrier is seemingly opened, the crowd descends stairs and disperses rapidly across the poolside, each individual or group swiftly placing towels on their desired loungers. The scene, set to an upbeat, almost comical soundtrack, has sparked a fresh wave of discussion online about holiday etiquette and the challenges hotels face in managing demand for amenities. One commenter remarked, "I've never reserved and always got one or two loungers. And if everything was taken, I just removed towels from unused loungers. No one has ever complained to me." Another expressed frustration, stating, "This is not a vacation, but a championship. Vacation is relaxation." The practice, often referred to as "towel wars," is a perennial issue at many holiday destinations, prompting debates among travelers and hoteliers alike on potential solutions, such as stricter rules or increased availability of loungers.
