Moment sunbed hoggers get just desserts after towels are drenched by early morning cleaners with HOSES in Tenerife

EARLY bird sunbed hoggers got their comeuppance when hotel cleaners drenched their towels with hoses.

The hilarious footage was captured by a disgruntled fellow guest in Tenerife as holiday hotspots brace themselves for a fresh season of sunbed wars.

The hotel cleaners showered the entire outside area early in the morning – drenching the sunbed hoggers towels

A fellow hotel guest filmed the funny scenes and asked whether it ‘served them right’

The Tenerife hotel staff took no prisoners as they washed the outside furniture

The clip, posted to TikTok, showed how a couple of guests had already staked their claim to the poolside loungers with their towels.

But what they hadn’t predicted was the proficiency of the early morning cleaners who enter the terrace area all guns blazing, armed with powerful hoses.

As they spray the ground, no spot is missed in the watery carnage.

The sunbed takers’ well-positioned towels look drenched by the end of the severe scrubdown.

TikTok user @lshucks captioned it: “Does this serve them right?”

For context, she added: “[The towels] were put on the sunbeds around 8am and the folk most likely won’t be back until after 10am as thats when breakfast finishes”.

It comes as fears are growing that this season will see the worst towel wars yet as sun-starved Brits fight to bag the best poolside spot.

Hotels across the Mediterranean are busy making preparations with several issuing warnings that no outside furniture can be reserved unless its for immediate use.

But a group of tourists in Benidorm have already been slammed for their lounger-hoarding after they were filmed lying ontop of stacked up beds.

It comes just days after two British tourists were kicked off their sun loungers by security for trying to hog them too early – breaking the hotel rules.

Last summer, there was a huge rise in scraps over sunbeds as a sunbed frenzy took hold of Europe.

Brits in popular destinations such as Spain, the Balearic Islands and Turkey took extreme measures to secure their spot in the sun.

The craze saw families rising at the crack of dawn to compete in frantic races once the pool opens to reserve a good lounger – with tourists reduced to tears if they failed.

The Sun even jetted into the heart of the action on the Costa del Sol last August to find Brit tourists caught up in the carnage that they described as “hell breaking loose”.

Even kids were not spared in the parasol wars – with tourists filmed using their children to beat the mad early morning rush in Malaga.

Spanish authorities even told sunbed hoggers they could be slapped with £650 fines if caught in the act.

One UK holidaymaker was so concerned about the spiralling that she even packed her own lounger — in a suitcase.

A family were given nearly £300 in compensation after they complained they were unable to ever get a sunlounger at the hotel they were staying at.

The battles on the beaches got so painful in Greece that locals last summer kickstarted the so-called “Towel Movement” to demand an end to pandemonium.

The protesters demands were clear – they wanted to “reclaim the beaches” from the loungers that coated the sand.

Sun readers even caught fellow countrymen and women claiming sun loungers at 11.30pm the night before to ensure they have a prime location to catch some rays.
