Morning towel circus at Mallorca's pools: why people reserve at six — and what could help

Answer

Why do pool towel wars keep happening in Mallorca hotels?

They keep happening because they combine fear of missing out, limited space, and social pressure. Once many guests believe they need to reserve early, the habit becomes self-reinforcing, even when everyone dislikes it. In Mallorca, busy holiday rhythms and crowded pool areas make that cycle especially hard to break.
