Sunbed wars are taking place at the hotel used in the filming of the TV show Benidorm.

Brit holidaymakers staying at the iconic venue have been spotted queuing for up to two hours to get the best loungers.

Scenes at the fictitious Solana Hotel from the ITV series were recorded at the Sol Pelícanos Ocas in Benidorm, Spain.

Guest Louise Smith was shell-shocked to see tourists standing in line for the best sunbathing spots.

She then witnessed the huge wave of them racing to the pool the second it opened.

Despite having a large pool area that features heavily in the show, the eager guests could be seen racing to their desired beds after workers lifted the ropes.

The bizarre footage was captured from Louise’s balcony.

“Mick would definitely have a few choice words for them,” Louise told What’s The Jam.

“I don’t think any of the characters would approve.

“People started queuing from 7:30am.

“I think it’s ridiculous.

“You go on holiday to relax, not to wake up super early to claim a sunbed.”

Fellow Brits were left shocked by the behaviour.

Kelly-Ann Wass said: “I’ve been here for a week and gone down at 10am and always managed to get a bed.”

Jay added: “Wouldn’t call that a relaxing holiday fighting for sunbeds.”

Mo said: “This is not a holiday to me, get up and having to queue everyday, no thanks.”

One added: “People pay thousands to go away on holiday and get up to queue for sun beds.”

Another said: “It’s hilarious to watch this is actually tame.”
