Video shows Benidorm ‘mad sunbed dash’ where every lounger is taken three minutes after pool opens

All the loungers are occupied within minutes.

Frequent Benidorm holidaymakers Mark and Karen Gregory, say they witness chaos every morning as their accommodation overlooks major hotel pools.

The Welsh couple captured multiple videos of sun-seeking tourists running to secure their loungers during their holiday in May.

"We saw people queueing from first thing - the queues were horrendous!

"People were properly running in," commented Mark.

He continued: "One hotel we did stay in, the pool opened at 8.30am and by 8.33am every bed had a towel on.

"I think it happens everywhere - just because hotels don't have as many beds as they do guests.

"We don't partake at all, we just observe.

"I know it's a bugbear for a lot of tourists - but we just find it funny."
