There’s nothing worse than strolling over to the pool on your holidays and finding all the sunbeds have been reserved with towels.
Well, one hotel has taken matters into its own hands – literally – by removing the towels from sun loungers, which were put there by guests who are not actually laying by the pool.
Check out the video below:

One holiday goer at the GF Gran Costa Adeje Hotel, Tenerife, Amanda Proctor, took to TikTok to capture the very moment that sunbed blockers have their dreams of stealing all the good pool spots snatched away from them.
Social media users took to the comments section of the video to praise the hotel and its staff for carrying out its strict “NO SAVING SUNBEDS BEFORE 10AM” policy.
One onlooker wrote: “Every hotel should do this!”
“Damn right! Moraled staff right there,” another commented.
“Ooh I bet it’s fun watching people coming back,” another commented of the carnage that was sure to follow.
The video creator then replied: “It was absolutely hilarious! Some never came back until mid afternoon.”
A different viewer noted: “It’s the ones who reserve poolside and don’t turn up until 4pm.”
“Not all heroes wear capes,” another quipped.
A representative of GF Gran Costa Adeje Hotel told LADbible: "At GF Gran Costa Adeje, we defend the right of all our guests to enjoy our pools and we ask everyone to respect our policy. All guests will have their space in our solarium.
"In this situation, our colleague, like the entire GF Gran Costa Adeje team, is a hero without a cape. We are very happy with the reaction to the video and from our customers."
Elsewhere in Spain, holidaymakers could now face a £645 fine if they are caught urinating in the ocean.
The rule has sparked confusion over how authorities are planning on policing the law, and also opens up questions on whether authorities are going to interrogate every tourist who looks a little too ‘relaxed’ in the water, or will they take note of the number of bathroom trips?
Still, lawmakers in Vigo, a city in the Galicia region, will now be charging people who 'relieve themselves’ in the sea off the Spanish coast, MailOnline reports.
The city council has deemed the act a 'minor infraction' and 'an infringement of hygiene and sanitary regulations'.
Instead, public toilets will be installed around the beach to deter people from urinating in the water.
Authorities will also fine those who litter and anyone who brings a gas cylinder or barbecue to the beach. Additionally, using soap in the ocean is strictly prohibited.
People playing with a ball or attempting to reserve a spot on the beach with a towel will also be charged under the new regulations, which are set to come into effect on 18 July.
