Overview

• A late‑August TikTok shot at Parque Santiago III shows guests sprinting as the pool opens, with one person rapidly reserving multiple loungers, and the clip has surpassed 20 million views.
• Separate footage and images from the GF Fañabe Hotel depict holidaymakers sleeping on sunbeds overnight to secure prime poolside spots, according to guest Ben Smith.
• Smith says the hotel removes towels from unattended loungers, a policy he believes pushes people to stay on the beds to keep them reserved.
• Reaction on social media has been strongly negative, with many UK users saying they would avoid Tenerife or similar all‑inclusive stays because of the behavior.
• Express reports a hotel staff member was trampled during a 6:30am rush at another Tenerife resort, a claim that has not been independently verified.
