Children 'unleashed' to grab all the sunbeds at hotel on £3,000 Spain holiday
A mum says sunseekers recruited their children to sprint over and claim sunbeds at a Spanish hotel - leaving her family unable to sunbathe onsite for half of the holiday. Cait Fennel, from Liverpool, set off to Salou, Spain, with her husband Matty Fennel, 34, and five-year-old son Ralphy Fennel for a week-long holiday.
TL;DR
- Holidaymakers at Hotel Best Oasis Park in Salou, Spain, used children to claim sunbeds before the pool opened.
- Queues formed an hour and a half before the pool area doors opened at 10am.
- Guests reserved sunbeds by leaving beach bags in queues or by sneaking through the hotel gym.
- Cait Fennel and her family were unable to sunbathe at the hotel for the first three days of their holiday due to the scramble.
- The daily sunbed 'war' caused stress and took away from the relaxation of the holiday.
- Social media comments reacted negatively to the described situation.
