Well done that man.

Have you got plenty of compo forms available?

[Stephen]

Not needed on here. Apart from round the pool they aren't used so never a problem.

More likely to find someones croaked it on a sunbed than reserving it.

Ironic that he and his family were searching for sun beds at 6am. Doesn't that tell us he's part of the problem?

You wouldn’t build a plane if it couldn’t accommodate the amount of passengers/holiday makers it was built for, therefore it is the hotel owners that should have got the fine. imo

Reading it it sounds like he was seeing if people were actually reserving at that time of the morning.

If the hotel stuck to their policy then the staff should go round removing the towels. And if guests kicked off then remind them it is clearly advertised about the practice. But as usual they never have the balls and so a blind eye is turned to keep the peace.

£6000 for two adults and two children - where were they staying, the Ritz? And because they couldn't find a sunbed at 6.00 in the morning they had to lie on the floor? It all sounds a bit far fetched and pathetic to me.
I don't really get why it's so important to get a sunbed next to the pool. It's the same sun wherever you are and the pool is never that far away. Am I misunderstanding something here?

In my, limited, experience any sunbed near the pool, ship or hotel, results in you getting wet either from those splashing about in the pool or bathers walking past dripping wet.

I would only ever use a sunbed next to the pool if it was next to an 18 year old (girl) preferably not with the name Brenda.

Moi? I always think the first two rows of beds by the pool should be reserved for those actually using the pool to leave their towels and dry off after. There's nothing worse than coming out of the pool to find nowhere available to sort yourself out.

Actually there is one thing worse. The beds by the pool occupied by fully clothed people reading their books and pulling a face every time they get splashed. In fact a friend of mine tells me he makes a point of splashing them......

I’m not one for plonking myself down amongst a row of sunbeds irrespective of where they are situated…I prefer my own space where I’m not having to look at “big or flabby” of any description, be it man or woman.

[oldbluefox]

..............so it's your friend is it?
I'm not into sunbathing at all but do like it nice and warm in the shade.Those who have a sunbed in the open and one in the shade with their books and glasses on are annoying when others can't find a seat. I may have to resort to lying on the floor and claiming compo.
Is Stephen around anywhere?

As my mother used to say "You do see some sights when you haven't your gun!!!"

I’m here.

Unless the sun beds are all plastic firm tops, they are OK.
The ones with the fabric coverings can be very uncomfortable after being stretched by grossly overweight passengers, something companies should look at as people seem to be getting heavier.

Stephen, best get a stock of compo forms in ready for the sunbed claims

[Stephen]

Hotels say they cracking down on this practice. I’ll give it a week at most.
