Towels on sunbeds (beach, pool)
Hello. Not so long ago I was in Egypt and that's what I remembered. A lot of places are occupied by towels from the very morning, and even in the evening .. I won’t even wonder who and why is doing this, apparently very “smart” guys.
Which, by the way, sometimes they don’t even come to the beach at all, but the sunbeds remain busy. So, this time I decided to do it differently. Take towels and just throw them off the sun loungers, if you say something that was blown away by the wind, it didn’t come. Or, what would not be like this cattle, just take it to the bartender on the beach or by the pool and say that someone forgot, etc. Well, an extreme measure, it's just to pick up and throw it away, so that these smart people get into the money. But, as for me, it will be more humane to give something to the staff and that's it. And what is your opinion on this matter? It is interesting to discuss, it is even possible to find out the versions of these same "wise men"

A similar case was in Nessebar. First line hotel Aphrodite Beach. In the evening they throw their rags on the sun loungers on the best places by the pool, so early in the morning everything is already busy, but in the afternoon they are not there, they walk. So, they will come for an hour at twelve to warm up their opu at the bass. And I am a lark and I suffer, I want justice, and there are rags everywhere .. at six in the morning! :)) Once I rearranged one such ownerless towel, and my God, what I had from His Highness Russo Turisto. Because no one, except for the kolirovanny scoop, does this - to occupy sun loungers from the night. At the reception they don’t want to spoil relations with tourists, they rarely respond to a request to put things in order. Well, I lowered the hotel rating in booking for this and wrote to them in the review in the same place.

My opinion is this. The one who throws off other people's towels is no better than those who leave them for the night, "hammering" a sun lounger. This is the same breed. Both are bad. We must learn to culturally relax. Well, there's no place, nothing... go for a walk along the beach. This is useful, you look and you will find an empty deck chair.

Let the problem of busy sunbeds be the biggest tragedy in your life))).
Once on vacation I got into a situation where all the hotel sunbeds were occupied (well, there were really few of them). We moved aside to the sunbeds of a nearby cafe, did not die from the fact that the extra 15 meters passed.

You don't hear. There is no place at all. From the word in general.
"We must learn to have a cultural rest." Yes Yes.
And I walk so all cultural all seven days with a child and I am silent in these rags))
That's what I came for.)

Maybe I'm resting in other hotels, but if someone left a towel in the evening, then the staff cleaned it and that's it. . . . in the morning the sunbeds are free, except for those who have already come in the morning before breakfast to take a dip. This was the case in all the hotels where I rested. And everywhere there are signs with the rules in which this moment is registered. Last year, while relaxing in Sherwood Club Kemer, when I came to the beach in the morning, I found a picture with proceedings. People said that they had left towels from the evening and filled their place in this way. Well, they were pointed out the rules and told where to find their towels. . . . and nobody canceled the fine. In general, this situation just pisses me off. Our family gets up very early. The larks we are at 6 on our feet and even on vacation. That is, we are the first to go for breakfast and immediately to the sea. On the beach until 11. . . . and smoothly move to the pools, to the water park, etc. And the one who scored a place for himself in this way, as a rule, comes after 11-12. . . . And here's the point. We leave, someone will come and take our 4 loungers and there are no problems. And so of course. . . there are no seats. And I often saw families who, coming after 10, try to settle down, because everything is already taken with towels. But again, in quality hotels this can be solved. Continued below

You approach the beach worker and he either delivers sunbeds, or cleans towels, water bottles, etc., and if the "owners of things" arrive, we send him to the beach employee. Without scandals ... why spoil your mood on vacation.

only the Slavs do this. Usually, if I meet this, I just transfer the towel to the next chaise lounge. - let there be two towels there. take sun loungers. On which, of course, SHKANDAL was arranged)) but the hotel worker saved me)). They took it, they themselves sleep in the room, but for some reason someone has to walk around the hotel, because, like, is there a towel on a sun lounger? I, like 86jjj, come to the sea after breakfast, or even before .. and there everything is already full of towels, this is called bad manners, to put it mildly, but it used to be like that in hotels where there were a lot of Russians .. a coincidence?)) Nothing against adequate Russians I don’t have people, if anything)) Although the Slavs of different nationalities. In general, the post-Soviet space sins a lot. Once, the Italians swore with a Muscovite man for the sun loungers occupied with towels, and he yelled that he had come here to rest and what he wants is what he does ... Well that hotels have learned to solve this problem. And here you are, the author of the question, revenge is so petty-bad form)

Of course, it’s not worth revenge .... we’ll go on vacation, relax, and not load our nervous system with squabbles ..... so sometimes aggressive people meet ..... why do you need it. Everything can be calmly resolved without resorting to high-profile showdowns through the hotel staff. This is their holy duty and they are eventually paid money for it. This year, in Egypt, I observed more than once how sunbeds were brought to those who came late. I understand that not all hotels will have such a service, but I definitely won’t walk along the beach .... with children, and not with children. I also came to rest, but not to swear. You can always solve everything without scandals and prospects to hear everything that they think about me, or even worse, in the face (and such prospects can also be, very unbalanced people sometimes come). Although, if someone is looking for extreme .......

As practice shows, as a rule, no one comes to the sunbeds, which are occupied by towels, almost before lunch. If there are no places, and half the beach is occupied with towels (I come in the morning), I just remove some and put my own. I have never had to deal with anyone in my practice. Somehow, the owners of these towels were never found, because, apparently, they slept all day with a drink ..
I admit that you can leave a towel if, for example, you go to dinner and you know that you will be back in half an hour or an hour.
But occupying a sun lounger with towels for more than an hour is a SCAM. Such people need to be brutally fought, at least as the author of the post!
I myself never borrow towels in the morning, and I forbid those who are resting with me to do this. I have already re-educated some of my friends and relatives)))

As practice has shown, tourists who have the audacity to book sunbeds with towels, as a rule, have a quarrelsome and rough mind. And throwing their towels on the ground, with a high degree of probability, be ready to run into a scandal.
And on the other hand, such assholes need to be punished somehow.

Thank God, I have never found myself in a situation where EVERYTHING is covered with towels. Maybe because we love big hotels with big beaches, and we hardly lie near the pool. But 2-3 times I saw how the sunbeds are occupied with towels by the workers themselves, who clean the beach + give out towels. Borrowed for tourists who tip. But there were plenty of empty seats. And once we rested in Makadi Bay, so there in a nearby hotel (unfortunately, I don’t remember the name), in general, under each umbrella there was a room number and the name of the vacationer. Surnames were all foreign.

But about occupying sunbeds with personal belongings (they will throw a cap there, pareo, etc.), then in some hotels there are rules that it is forbidden to do this. I was in such a hotel (in Turkey), and I personally saw how one redneck tourist cursed with the security guard that his T-shirt was removed from the sunbed (well, they didn’t take it at all, they just put it somewhere nearby). The tourist bullied a lot, but the Turk, well done, remained adamant, and did not allow him to engage in a lounger with a T-shirt))

Even from this discussion it is clear that these are people of the same breed, namely, boorish brawlers. Some make a fuss when their towels are thrown off the sunbeds, others make a fuss when someone else's towels are thrown. This "game" gives pleasure to both of them, an integral part and a peculiar attribute of their rest ...

I didn’t go to any hotels - you could always find a free sunbed, and at rush hour, if not by the sea itself, but there were plenty of places. Choose a hotel where this is not a problem.

86jjj: your behavior on the forum already shows everything. The same rudeness that you are so indignant at.
kazkova: even if it is forbidden in the hotel, our "colleagues" are not subject to the law. Because it's all-inclusive! Even after reading the hotel rules that you can’t wear slippers and swimsuits for dinner, they continue to act as if there is no one around. Jumping into a cold pool, raising a fountain of spray, yelling under the windows at one in the morning. Because it's all-inclusive!
svarozhychi: among the Germans, of course, there are boors, as well as among any other nationality. But still, there are much fewer of them than boors-Slavs (Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians). It's not just that. The Russians take sunbeds by simply throwing in a towel, and the cunning Germans (however, not only the Germans) pay from one to ten dollars to a beach boy to occupy the best places on the beach for them. This is the difference of approaches and mentality.

As far as I know, the towels are not personalized ... so prove yours or my towel is on the sunbed. I can’t comment because .... there are no words, only expressions.
Somehow there was a case (long ago, before the events) when * they didn’t occupy the sunbeds with towels *, but there were simply not enough of them - they gave the orderly for $ in the evening and he sniffed us and put us up to our arrival in very convenient places.

Occupied not only by Russian speakers. Just returned from Egypt - I watched what the Europeans were occupying. A very embarrassing situation happened to us once. They never took a seat in advance, they just always got up at 6:30. Once we went into the dining heat in the room for an hour, leaving our sunbeds occupied - I think this is fair, since the hotel was strained with sunbeds. When we returned, we found that our sunbeds were stupidly occupied. They didn't quarrel with anyone. Although when they were on the beach from 7 in the morning and watched these places occupied in the evening, the owners of which did not appear until 10-11 o’clock, no one occupied them. And then for an hour they left and such. So those who drop other people's things are not always right.

Sunbeds occupy (clog) everything, Europeans are no exception. Watched them at "Porto Bello Hotel Resort & Spa", there are a lot of them from different countries. Their sinewy aunts, who look like men, come to the beach early and rake up sunbeds from umbrellas in one row in the sun ... five or six sunbeds together (for the whole company), spread out towels and go to breakfast ... they arrive at 11 o'clock with their boyfriends ... then the whole company cackle loudly, all day, without swimming in the sea, they lie, drink beer and smoke (aunts drink and smoke more). Ours (Russians, Ukrainians) are angels compared to them.

inna7717 well, because of people like you and scandals and misunderstandings. What does it mean to go to the room for an hour?? Well, take your towels with you! because usually this hour turns into two, three or even until tomorrow morning! why leave them there? You left, and someone just slept and came, and everything is busy! That is, they were supposed to wait for your return ??? The people did everything right. And in this case you are wrong, because the sunbeds are not your property. Is it true?

Here is the ideal option. Came to the beach - lie down, sunbathe, leave the beach, take your clothes (towel .. shorts). I travel alone, but I, alone, sometimes have to look for a free place on the beach. I take it very calmly, without nerves. There is no sunbed .. well, to hell with it, I can swim in the sea or rest in the shade on a bench ...

lana_181 that's exactly what we did right! No one took their towels when they left for an hour or two, for breakfast or lunch. I described the situation specifically about the hotel where we rested. Was constantly strained with sunbeds after 8-9 hours. We got up early in the morning for this! Although they could also sleep, throw off someone's towels and rest in peace. And indeed there were a lot of busy sunbeds from evening until noon. And here we went for an hour. Of course it's embarrassing! And you perfectly understand what I am writing about.

Have you ever stayed in a hotel where there are no free sunbeds during the day? And at the same time, going to the toilet in the room, they took their things from the sunbeds ??

inna7717.what is correct??? No, I don’t understand. Until then, you and others like you will do this. Until then, there will be such confusion and conflicts. All adequate people, who care not only about themselves, take towels. What was strained as you write with sunbeds, so why not contact the hotel staff, it exists for that. To solve the problems of guests, but no. It’s better to do it like you write??!! It's not about the hotel, not that there are no free sunbeds, it's about education. And it seems that you don't understand why people are outraged that someone's towels are lying, although they themselves got into a situation in which your towels were removed, but you didn't realize you were wrong.
