TA hotel reports

Ian, I have given this some thought ,but haven't come up with why people are attracted to sun beds 

Were they German reviews

It's a fallacy, I am reliably informed. It's the Brits who are obsessed by them.

TA treat with a pinch of salt just like some CC reviews.  15 great to above average then Master Windup picks up the keyboard!

I agree Oneputt, that's why I said that you have to treat them with some caution.

I'm told that the worst culprits for saving sunbeds these days are the Brits and that they are taking over from the Germans.

I read one review that moaned about the shape of the building.....because it meant that the sun didn't come onto the pool area until 10:30am and was back in the shade at 17:30........so he only got 7 hours of it! (and at this time of year it must be 30 degrees plus). He must look like a lobster!!

How can anyone stand this and not simply die of boredom (or heat-stroke)?

The attractionof sun beds is that one can guarantee to put on weight. Upsizing for perhaps from 'chubby' to 'Thunder Thighs' and on to 'Lardy A---' whilst looking like an uncooked dumpling all the way up the colour chart to a burnt offering. To make best use of them, you do need to eat every meal that the hotel offers whilst taking absolutely no exercise.

On our last hotel holidaywe had a pick up for a flight at 6 am (ouch!) and was astounded to see people up and about putting towels on beds while we were grabbing a quick buffet breakfast! Riudiculous - perhaps they went back to bed after 'reserving' the sunbed!

To be honest it wasn't much better at Hillhead CC site, which we visited recently. We needed to sit by the pool in order to keep an eye on our grandaughters. Quite early on some of the sunbeds had towels spread on them but we didn't see anyone sit on them while we were there. 

Thanks Redface......that would explain it.

(no wonder no-one admits to doing it! )

I fully understand your post Ian, I was just recounting my experience.
