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.

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