We were sick of queuing for sunbeds at Spanish resort – so we took matters into our own hands
A HOLIDAYMAKER revealed how she was sick of queuing for sunbeds at a Spanish resort – so she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Sonya Romina took to TikTok to share the sneaky method her mum used to nab a lounger while on holiday.
The ten-second clip, captioned: “I ain’t got time to waste,” begins with two women standing against the railing near a pool at the Torremolinos resort.
Decked in shorts and flip-flops, the pair appear to be keeping a watchful eye on the decking area near the hotel’s swimming pool.
Then with hilarious ease, the women begin lifting each end of a white sunbed over the metal rail before resting it for a second.
After the chair is half-way over the wall, they continue to drag it until it tumbles onto the grass.
The two sneaky ladies then pick it back up and turn around before carrying it off to their desired loaction.
Sonya wrote on the post: “When there’s a 20 person line so my mum decides to steal the sunbed”.
The post racked up over 200 likes with one person leaving a series of laughing emojis in response to the cheeky clip.
But with holiday season approaching, these two women aren’t the first to share their sunbed hogging experiences.
A British tourist, and self-proclaimed King of the Sunbeds, revealed to The Sun Online how to always nab the best loungers while you’re on holiday.
He said: “My first top tip is to get your deck chairs at about 7.30 in the morning.
“It’s likely the pool attendants would have cleaned the floor around that time and would have moved all the chairs ready for the day.”
Benidorm beachgoers have also been seen trying to beat Brits by setting up their sunbeds in the middle of the night.
Snaps show locals scurrying towards the seafront with their deckchairs in hand as they prepare to bag the best spots.
Images show them setting up large umbrellas by staking the pole through the sand in a bid to claim their territory before the Brit holidaymakers wake up.
And security guards were filmed ripping off sunbed hoggers’ towels at a Tenerife resort.
The brazen poolside “policing” was captured by a hotel guest and has since gone viral on social media.
Footage showed the security team inspecting the sun loungers, appearing to make note of how long the towels had been there.
Once they identified the offenders, the workers collected the towels and removed them so other guests could enjoy some sun.
