Overview
- New footage from Tenerife shows guests sleeping overnight on poolside loungers at the GF Fañabe Hotel to hold places before opening.
- One holidaymaker said a towel‑removal policy for unattended beds is prompting some visitors to lie on loungers through the night to avoid losing them.
- Separate clips show queues forming hours before gates open and stampede‑style rushes for prime spots, including a widely viewed scene in Torrevieja.
- A viral video from Parque Santiago III captured a man racing to lay towels on six loungers before grabbing a seventh, with the clip drawing more than 20 million views.
- Social media commenters say the scenes have put them off Tenerife and all‑inclusive hotels, and one outlet reported a staff member was trampled during an early opening at another resort.
