It's been a long-running joke which has annoyed many holidaymakers for years - the race for the poolside sunbed. But now one hotel appears to have taken action against people who secure their prime location sunbed but then leave it empty all day.
Staff at a five-star Tenerife hotel have been seen collecting up towels and possessions from empty beds. They then left notes behind to explain where people could collect their items.
In scenes captured on film by one holidaymaker workers were recorded as they walked around laden with towels and other property. And the move by the Gran Costa Adeje Hotel in South Tenerife appears to have met with approval from many other guests.
