Overview
- Guests at the Best Oasis Hotel in Salou raced to secure sunbeds after queuing from about 8am until the pool doors opened at 10am on July 4.
- Holidaymakers used towels to reserve loungers then went for breakfast, leaving many reserved beds empty for hours and reducing available space.
- Separate eyewitness footage from June shows a similar 'manic' scramble for sunbeds, indicating the behaviour has recurred rather than being a one-off.
- Parents and families with young children reported being unable to find shaded or occupied poolside spots because of early queuing and towel hoarding.
- None of the reports include a statement from hotel management, and this pattern could prompt hotels to review booking or pool-access rules to ease competition for limited facilities.
