Woman left horrified after hotel resort charges €30 for pool sun loungers – despite being a guest
A WOMAN was left horrified after a hotel resort charged her €30 for a pool sun lounger despite being a guest.
Posting on TikTok under the username Tinx, she revealed to viewers exactly what had happened.
Tinx explained how she just got to France and is now tanning on her balcony.
The TikToker added: “This is because I went down to the pool and I sat on the lounge chair and they asked me for a reservation.
“They then said it would be €30.”
Tinx was shocked to hear this and told the hotel that she was a guest.
But they still reminded her that the hefty charge would have to be paid.
Tinx added: “They said I can get in the swimming pool without paying but you have to pay to use a chair.
“On principle I’m not paying for a lounge chair!”
She cheekily mentioned in the caption of her video that she would be “eating a twix from the mini bar”.
Social media users were quick to weigh in with their opinions in the comments.
One wrote: “Whaaaat wait! What hotel is that? That’s insaneeee.”
Another said: “I might be really sheltered but I’ve never heard of this in my entire life.”
“A beach chair you could argue because they set them out. But a pool chair that literally sits there all the time…,” a third said, accompanied by a rolling eyes emoji.
Another TikToker said: “This happened to me in Vegas too, we could go in the pool but couldn’t sit.”
It comes after a couple saved thousands of pounds on holidays with a little-known travel hack – and anyone can do it.
Jane MacDonald, 65, and her husband John, 68, have travelled to dozens of locations around the world without paying a penny for accommodation.
Elsewhere, a woman revealed the best time to check into a hotel to receive a free upgrade.
A free hotel upgrade is the dreamiest way to get a holiday off to a flying start, and according to one TikToker everyone can nab one.
Meanwhile, a former hotel manager has exposed the very gross reason you should pack your toothbrush away when you aren’t using it.
And if you’re looking to find bargain stays in popular tourist hotspots, then the lesser-known trick can help you bag an affordable accommodation – and they’re even cheaper in the summer.
A booking expert has also shared which hotel booking hacks really work and could save you hundreds while on holiday.
I'm a travel expert - here are smart hotel hacks I swear by
Samantha Brown has visited at least 62 countries during her career as a TV presenter.
Now she has shared her top tips to make sure every hotel stay goes smoothly.
First, Samantha recommends using your room’s ironing board as a luggage rack, table and counter.
Second, Samantha also suggests soaking a sponge in dish soap before leaving it to dry out.
Then cut the sponge up into smaller chunks which you can use for washing-up on holiday.
If you’re bringing your kids along, Samantha says you can childproof your room with a roll of duct tape – or better still, gaffer tape.
You can also use the tape to block out flashing lights around your room before bedtime.
