Sunbed savers
Do a yellow plastic giraffe and a blue dolphin reserve sunbeds?
That’s it really. Aaargh I hate sunbed savers!

Are we talking of Florida or elsewhere?
I can spot a sunbed saver from a mile away and if I wanted that sunbed they would find their stuff in the bin.

Not Florida - I’ve never had a problem there. We are in a lovely boutique hotel in Elounda Crete.
It drives me mad. The hotel rooms generally have private pools, but for those that don’t ( including me) there are 7 parasols with chairs round the main pool. Needless to say they are being reserved before breakfast with items ranging from said giraffe and dolphin to flip flops. There are very few children here so needing to be on a bed to watch the children isn’t really an issue. Aargh rant over and back to looking at the sparkling Bay of Mirabello which is looking mighty gorgeous this morning.

Wouldn't worry me in the slightest. In the bin they would go. Can't be doing with entitled people. However your Resort sounds lovely.
Edit. Probably once or twice a year I see people doing this at SSR. I know they are going to a Park as they are fully dressed and have backpacks on etc. They tend to put an old book or just towels on up to 4 loungers. As soon as I spot people looking for loungers I make a point of telling them what has happened or the Pool Lady. Soon sorted.

Is there a local rule about reserving them? Some places don't allow it , others remove towels if they are not being used after a period of time (unless in the pool)

I’m with Tom. I think the dolphin may have mysteriously decided to give the giraffe a swimming lesson in the pool…😉

Actually the pool is being cleaned by a robot, the like of which I have never seen. It goes over the bottom of the pool and then rises and cleans the surface. I have led a sheltered life! You are right Tom, the resort is perfect apart from dolphin and giraffe. I have just seen my husband slide down the steps and enter the pool with a splash. Apparently he meant to do it!

Wow, that sounds like a good bit of kit.

This is why I love ikos
We were there a few weeks ago and they have a card on each table between the beds saying no sunbed saving and stuff will be removed They also had the pool robots - so cool

I guess my question would also be, in a luxury resort why are there not enough that people feel the need to reserve them? If it's about shade then surely they should have spare parasols?
