British woman gets ultimate revenge on sunbed hoggers to give them ‘nasty surprise’

A British tourist has taken it upon herself to hit back at 'dirty sunbed hoggers' by removing an entire row of towels from loungers next to a pool in Tenerife.

The quest to reserve sunbeds in a prime location next to the pool is a big concern for holiday makers.

There is nothing worse than being unable to relax in the sun as there's none left available, especially when there are towels on the beds but no people to be found.

Well, Rachael Rogers had enough of such annoyances during her stay at the Mediterranean Palace, in Playa de las Americas, and fought back against those who she claimed were reserving beds in their PJs in the early hours before going straight back to sleep.

Taking to social media, Ms Rogers posted a video soundtracked by The Heavy's 'How You Like Me Now?' showing her smiling with glee as she removed towels from at least eight loungers before giving a little bow.

In the clip's caption, she wrote: "Leaving the dirty pool hoggers a little surprise when they come back down.

"All week the same people would bag their spot by the pool.

"So today we decided to give them a little surprise and take them. All you at the Mediterranean Palace in Tenerife, yes it was us."

The sunbed crusader has divided social media

Ms Rogers' video has garnered over 2.3 million views on TikTok, with lots of fellow frustrated travellers agreeing with her crusade.

However, others were critical, with her bold move dividing social media, with the clip amassing over 2,500 comments.

Hitting back at her critics, Ms Rogers said in a follow up video: '"Whether I'm the problem or not, I don't give a stuff to be honest with you.

"I enjoyed doing it, and if I had a little bit more time, I'd have carried on doing it - and I might even have thrown some of them in the pool.

"You shouldn't be reserving sun loungers if you're not going to sit on them.

"Go and have a bit of lunch, half an hour or so, but after that you either need to sit on your sun lounger or give it to someone else. We've all paid the same for the holiday, we're all entitled to sit by the pool."

Addressing questions as to why she removed the towels when it seemed as though plenty of other sunbeds were still available, Ms Rogers explained: "The reason I did it was because half an hour later those places wouldn't have been available.

"People would have been coming down and the ones who had come down in their pyjamas and dressing gowns and then toddled off to bed and left their towels down, are at the beach or walking round the shops by then enjoying themselves, having their lunch, having their breakfast.

"They're coming back around two in the afternoon and wanting those seats that they reserved at six in the morning. It's not on, it's not on."
