Three ways European resorts are fighting sunbed wars

Sunbeds can be a problem by the pool.

If you're going on holiday, you'll want to use the sunbeds.

Some people reserve sunbeds with towels.

A man spent £6,000 on a holiday and couldn't get a sunbed. He woke up at 6am, but they were all taken. His kids had to lie on the floor.

The man got £850 in compensation. Hotels are trying to stop sunbed wars. Some hotels have new systems.

Some hotels have sunbed reservation systems.

You can reserve sunbeds with an app at some hotels. Iberostar hotels let you book sunbeds around the pool.

A guest used the app and said it was easy. You can book for the next day at 1pm. If you're not on your bed by 10:45am, you might lose it.

Another guest said the system is great and stops arguments.

Some hotels give you a sunbed for your whole stay. You can choose your sunbed when you arrive.

If you don't like your sunbed, you can ask to move. One guest said the system works well, but you might need to ask to change.

Some resorts warn people not to reserve sunbeds with towels. If you leave your things on a sunbed for too long, they might be taken away.

One resort sounds a horn twice a day. If you're not at your sunbed, your things will be taken away.

If you're going to the beach, check the rules. Two people were fined £250 for reserving sunbeds on the beach.
