We like to take a break (or two) in an overseas hotel during the darker months. We tend to look at reviews of hotels on Trip Advisor.

You do have to treat them with some caution and we tend to ignore the more extreme reviews, looking more at what the general concensus is.

But one thing that amazes me is the obsession with sun beds!

Not enough of them, not comfortable enough, not new enough........and the biggest topic is - reserving of them!! 

Apparantly people go out early morning, put a towel on them and then sometimes, not use them until later in the day? Such heresy!!

As someone who never goes near a sun bed (why would you want to get out of bed and then lie on one of these?) I see no point. I go on holiday to see the place, not to spend all day in the hotel grounds.

Can anyone explain this strange attraction to sun beds?

One hotel I was at, had breakfast outside, overlooking the pool, saw a chap sweep up all the towels left on sunbeds and chuck them in the pool.  If it was you - well done!
