'Absolutely embarrassing' parents enlist kids to race for sun beds
A £3,000 Spanish holiday descended into farce as families battled to secure sun loungers.
TL;DR
- Holidaymakers at Hotel Best Oasis Park in Salou, Spain, are allegedly using children to secure sunbeds before the pool area opens.
- Guests began queuing outside the pool at 8:45 am for a 10 am opening, with some sneaking into the hotel gym to get to the pool first.
- Beach bags were used to reserve spots, and children were reportedly sent to run and claim loungers.
- One mum, Cait Fennel, stated that her family avoided the pool for the first three days due to the chaos and eventually had to join the queues.
- The situation was described as 'madness' and 'stressful', detracting from the relaxation of the £3,000 holiday.
- Footage shared online showed children sprinting to claim beds, with adults following and throwing towels onto loungers.
