Footage has emerged showing two British holidaymakers embroiled in a heated argument over a sunbed at a hotel in Lanzarote. The row took place at the Hyde Park Lane apartments, a three-star resort in Puerto del Carmen, and was caught on camera by fellow guest Callum Lines, who witnessed the confrontation from his sun lounger.
In the video, a woman with a Scottish accent dressed in pink, can be seen accusing another British tourist of occupying sunbeds that her group had allegedly used throughout the week. She threatens to report the matter to hotel management, leading to a sharp exchange between the two parties.
“You’ve picked on the wrong person,” the woman on the sun lounger responds. “Turn around and walk away.”
Lines, from Leamington Spa, can be heard calling the woman in pink a “Karen” during the exchange and later commented: “There were plenty of available beds – all with equal sun exposure – so this really wasn’t needed. You come away for a rest and some relaxation.”
He added that a sign near the pool area stated that reserving sunbeds was not allowed, although it was unclear whether that policy had been enforced.
The situation escalated when the woman in pink accused the others of moving her group’s belongings. The woman lying down insisted no items had been touched and told her to get her facts right.
The male guest beside her told the woman to “go away,” while another holidaymaker wearing a black bikini and cap tried to intervene, gesturing for the argument to end.
Lines said the woman in pink eventually left to speak with hotel staff, but no manager appeared during the incident.
The confrontation drew attention from others around the pool and highlighted ongoing tensions among guests over the long-standing issue of sunbed reservations at holiday resorts.
No police were called, and the hotel has not commented on the matter.
