TA hotel reports

No worries.....

And that's why we don't go to hotels now our apartment in Lanzarote has a terrace with its own sunbeds, no need to reserve them, but I am guilty of putting my sunbed mattress on it complete with towel when I get up in the morning, at some stage during the day I will then lay on said sunbed headphones on book in hand and have a nice nap,. . . . . I mean read

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!

Write your comments here...We have just got back from Bulgaria and people were putting towels on sunbeds from 6am then going back to their rooms, was fun watching them from the balcony.

Somewhere we went, Bali I think, had a no reserve policy and the pool attendants would remove towels left on unoccupied sun beds after a while.  The Russians weren't impressed and tried to bully the lovely Balinese guys and girls but didn't get far as Aussie guys used to intervene! 

I remember sunbeds being "reserved" when package holidays first took off back in the 70s.  It was a race between the Brits and Germans.  There was/is an advert where a Brit is doing a rugby tackle and throwing his towel to a sunbed which lands on a sunbed completely rolling out for his use

There's <THIS ONE>

But WHY does anyone want to spend thei holiday laid on a sun bed? I sleep at night and that's all the lying down I need.

Topical subject as I am just back from two weeks in constant heat and sunshine.  Girlfriend spends as much time as possible lying in sun (but not asleap I am informed) in order to get a tan.  Dedicated she is, bottles of lotion and sweat dripping to make puddles in the sand.  She gets very annoyed that I come back with as good a tan having dodged the sun most of the time.

The quid pro quo is that the rest of the year we go away in my caravan.  She does look nice with a tan though!

The Italian coast guard are confiscating items left to secure "prime locations" on some public beaches.  Chairs, umbrellas, towels etc have been confiscated.  Offenders are being fined €200 to get their items back.  Maybe hotels should implement a similar policy
