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

Answer

Why are sunbed fights such a problem in Mallorca hotels?

The main reason is the mismatch between demand and the number of available loungers, especially on hot days. Once guests feel they must act early to get a spot, the pool area starts to feel competitive instead of relaxing. That puts pressure not only on other guests but also on staff who are asked to enforce the rules.
