I wonder if a certain expert who regularly contributes to these pages has read this article, and if so, what his opinion would be. Camp de Mar. One of more exclusive and expensive tourist areas on the island. Not youngsters but middle aged and older generations doing this. Well, well, well. Not exactly what we were lead to believe on how the industry is heading.
What sad sad low rent little non entities getting involved in this. So glad I don't hang out with proles like these. Charge €10 a bed and they will all run off to the beach. These are the same type of losers who do all inclusive.
James TThe hotel should just implement a booking system, charge 1-5€/booking if they must, and "poolside" goes into a "out of the hat" draw… or something like that. Its not hard if you want to prevent the same people day in day out getting the prime spots. You want to give each guest the same opportunities.
The hotel management should simply clear the materials away - put them into the 'lost and found' cupboard.
