- Hotel guests trying to get a sunbed in Tenerife were surprised by the cleanliness
Tourists trying to get sun loungers received a dose of instant karma when they saw their towels soaked by cleaning staff at a Tenerife hotel.
The images were captured by an upset hotel guest, who was staying at a location notoriously popular with Brits.
The clip, posted on TikTok, illustrated the maneuvers of some guests looking to get a spot next to the pool by placing their towels on empty sun loungers.
In a funny twist of fate, they were caught by the hotel cleaners who, not bothering about the towels, simply removed them to clean the beds and surrounding areas.
Hotel guests’ towels were left completely soaked after diligent cleaners left no stone unturned in their work.
Posting on the social media platform, TikTok user @lshucks asked his followers: ‘Does this serve you well?’
Tourists trying to get sun loungers received a dose of instant karma when they saw their towels soaked by cleaning staff at a Tenerife hotel.
Hotel guests tried to get a spot by the pool by leaving their towels early in the morning, but were unpleasantly surprised by the cleaning staff, who did not hesitate to remove the towels from the sun loungers.
She continued: “(The towels) were put on the sun loungers around 8am and people most likely won’t be back until after 10am as that’s when breakfast ends.”
Other users joined the debate and were quick to intervene on the hot topic of whether or not they considered it acceptable to “reserve” sunbeds.
One user wrote: “Maybe just enjoy your vacation instead of worrying about other people’s towels.”
This didn’t seem to amuse the original poster, who responded with more than a hint of sarcasm as he replied, “I am.”
Another comment simply said “nice,” and the user was happy to hear that people were trying to get a head start by putting down their towels early in the day.
