SUN lounger battles are resurfacing once again in hotel resorts - with tourists already being slammed for their rude techniques.

Brits on holiday are often seen trying to "hog" loungers, with some arriving as early as 6am to nab a spot.

With holidaymakers heading abroad once again this summer, a group of tourists have already been slammed for reserving loungers for their friends.

Paul Hitchcock, who often visits Benidorm, called out a group who stacked up multiple deckchairs, before lying down on all of them.

The image posted on Facebook shows two tourists lying on at least three deckchairs each, piled on top of each other and covered in towels.

According to Olive Press, Paul wrote: "Two people, five sunbeds, and they are not the only ones."

People slammed their "selfish" actions with many saying it was "out of order" and they would ask them to move.

One wrote: "This should be getting stopped, how embarrassing."

It comes just days after two British tourists were kicked off their sun loungers by security for trying to hog them too early.

The pair were spotted trying to reserve two loungers at 8:40am, against the rules of the hotel.

The rules at the Melia hotel only allow access to the pool from 9am, with people having to queue before this.

Video showed the security guard telling them no, while pointing to his watch.

They were then escorted to the back of the queue which was already forming.

Last summer, a family were given nearly £300 in compensation after they complained they were unable to ever get a sun lounger at the hotel they were staying at.

The family, from Germany, spent more than £4k on their Greek holiday.

Despite hotel rules banning sun lounger hoggers, they said this was not enforced.

One man sparked debate last summer after admitting to getting up at 5am to get the best sun lounger.

Kenzo Neilson, who was in Turkey, said on TikTok: "Good morning everybody, it is half five in the morning.

"I thought to myself, I'll get right up early this morning. I got up and got the four best spots."

In response, people said it was a "new level of sadness".
