Towel wars at hotel pools: When sunbeds become currency — what Mallorca can learn

Answer

Why do hotel guests in Mallorca reserve sunbeds with towels so early?

It usually comes down to limited sunbeds and high demand, especially at busy resorts and popular hotels in Mallorca. Some guests want to secure a preferred spot before breakfast, which turns a practical habit into a daily conflict. Cultural routines and a bit of social pressure also keep the practice going.
