'I get the best sunbeds on holiday – one drastic action ensures success every time'

A mum has unapologetically shared that she is wakes up three hours before the pool opens on holiday to get the best sunbed spot.

We all know how hard it can be in holiday resorts to get that perfect spot for chilling on holiday. We all want loungers that are close to the pool, basking in sunlight and close together so the family isn't separated.

But at peak times, it can be hard to find a free seat – and over the years this has led to so-called 'sunbed wars' at many popular European holiday resorts.

Mum-of-three Danielle recently admitted she is not sorry about rushing down to get sunbeds close to the swimming pool. "Yes, I'm that mum who gets up really early to put her towels around the pool so that I'm guaranteed to get a bed," she said on TikTok recently.

The content creator explained that while she was recently holidaying in Benalmádena, Spain, she would wake up at 7am every morning to rush down to the pool to nab the best seats – even though the pool at the Holiday Village Hotel didn't open until 10am.

The pool is blocked off with metal gates to prevent access, but guests can put their towels down on beds beforehand. Danielle said that from 9.45am, she saw people queuing up – and as soon as the gates open, guests run to the sunbeds to get the best spot.

Danielle, who has over 36,000 followers on her 'mum life' page, said: "This is probably going to be a controversial post, but I just wondered who else does the same?"

After waking up at 7am and getting dressed, Danielle explained that she grabbed her family's beach towels and went straight down to the waterside. "I try to find the best beds that I can," she said.

"The reason that I do this is because I have three young children and one of them is only two." The
