As reported by the New York Times, a German tourist has won a lawsuit after a court ruled that his vacation was diminished because hotel staff failed to stop the all-too-familiar and infuriating “towel takeover,” in which guests claim poolside spots by placing neatly folded towels on loungers at sunrise and then disappearing for hours. The family, who paid about $8,500 for an 11-night stay at a luxury resort in Greece, said every chair was “reserved” by 8 a.m., leaving them searching in 95-degree heat while their kids sunbathed on towels on the ground, according to the news report. The court agreed this was more than just bad vacation luck: it was a legitimate travel defect. The result: about $1,200 back, a 15% refund for each day they couldn’t properly access the pool loungers. Even the children, the judge noted, had the same right to a sunbed as the adults. For tourists, it’s a sunny little victory. For hotel risk managers, it’s a reminder that “saving seats” can come with a real cost.
