Readers will soon gather that the following is a pet hate of mine.
I propose a range of fines for people who put towels on sunbeda and proceed to disappear.
I would suggest the following
1. If you return within 1/2 hour of placing the towel - no fine
2. If you return within 1 hour of placing the towel - £ 1.00 fine
3. If you return within 2 hours of placing the towel - £ 2.00 fine
4. £ 5.00 for up to 4 hours
5. £ 10.00 for over 4 hours and towel confiscated for 24 hours
All proceeds to local charity.
Just a suggestion :)

Fine. ;)

I think the fines should be in Euros, it will cost the Germans a fortune,LOL

Sorry but I think the English are as bad if not worse and totally agree with Highlander. We stopped going to our regular hotel in Calis after 13 years because of the problems with those saving sunbeds and we told the owner the reason. I just wish the owners would do something about it. Just a notice would help with a threat to remove towels. Rumour has it that after we left our old hotel one of the irate guests went down early one morning and dumped all the towels from the saved beds in a big pile by the pool.

If people leave their towels on beds for more than an hour I think it's perfectly acceptable to remove them. What could they say? Its extremely bad mannered, I know some people have planned a morning out but have earmarked their beds (their area) before they leave and sail back about 4 hours later. Selfish.
-
I don't think you will stop people saving sunbeds, people come on holiday with large families and friends.
and I'm sure most people will save sunbeds for them,
-
The main reason people reserve sunbeds is that they see that people are reserving sunbeds.
-
I have reservations about that.
-
I'm quite reserved too.

Should have put them in the pool!

We were on a cruise in July and there is a daily paper delivered to the cabins. There is a notice about sunbeds in it. Also, on the public address system the same message which was. No sunbeds can be reserved if staff see books, towels or bags on sunbeds the. items will be removed and will be left at.(then it says the two places they will be left) passengers can go to these places and pick up their belongings.
We thought this was a great idea and should be practiced at Hotels too.

Many years ago in Menorca there was an incident known as TowelGate.
Some folks started putting towels out not long after midnight meaning even at 6am there wasn't an "unreserved" sun lounger to be had.
One morning, as the sun slowly rose and bleary eyed holidaymakers started appearing on balconies they were treated to a new form of modern art.
About one hundred brightly coloured towels, all floating in the pool. The towel ninjas were clever though - a rather objectionable family's towels remained untouched.
Cue much shouting, swearing and finger pointing.
Three times over the next ten days or so the same thing happened.
The culprits were never identified although I do believe after two Scottish families went home the towel drownings ceased :)
