Brits tried to get the upper hand on German holidaymakers by queuing for over an hour to secure the best sunbeds.

This year’s sun lounger wars are now in full swing with holidaymakers pulling out all the stops to get the best spot by the pool.

Brits abroad are now starting to set the alarms extra early to queue up for the pool an entire hour before it opens.

Punters armed with towels, suncream and flip flops wait around until hotel staff give them the all clear.

The bizarre queue of people has become a regular morning routine for guests at Barceló Lanzarote Active Resort, Las Palmas, Spain.

Isabelle Hanssen, whose balcony overlooks the pool enjoyed a morning gander at the pool goers waiting in line.

Shocking footage was captured Wednesday (28 May), as reported by What’s The Jam.

According to the halfpipe skier, the line is usually made up of Brits with a few Germans hanging around.

Isabelle, from the Netherlands, also revealed that the queues start from as early as 8am despite the pool not opening until 9:30am.

With multiple entrances to the pool lines of 10 people plus form all around the area.

Isabelle Hanssen said: “Lining up 30 minutes before the pool opens all for that one sunbed, priorities I guess.”

Members of the public were left shocked by the footage.

Mark Wandsworth said: “Pathetic and ridiculous, beyond embarrassing.”

Sue Williams added: “It’s not always like this. I was there last week and this never happened once.”

Madelon said: “This is my worst nightmare.”

Lisa added: “I always wonder why hotels can’t just allocate sunbeds per room. It would solve this whole problem.”
