Trouble Under Palms: The Five Most Annoying Habits on Club Vacations
With summer approaching, many Austrians are also looking forward to their long-awaited vacation time. Trips to the south, particularly to Spain, Greece, or Turkey, are especially popular. However, the stay at an all-inclusive resort is often overshadowed by the disruptive behavior of other guests. Markus Lindblad, Austria spokesperson for the online retailer Haypp, has summarized which bad habits can spoil the holiday joy.
Full Plates, Full Tables – and Full Trash Cans
All-inclusive offers promise carefree enjoyment without additional costs – at least for the main meals. However, not every guest acts moderately. Time and again, tables are overloaded with food that is barely touched. "Panic and fear of not getting enough from the all-inclusive buffet are misplaced," says Lindblad. Those who serve themselves thoughtfully not only reduce waste but also allow other guests fair access to the offerings.
The Daily Battle for the Sun Lounger
Another widespread annoyance is the early morning reservation of loungers – often occupied with towels and then left unused for hours. Some hotels are already responding with fixed assigned loungers for the duration of the stay. According to Lindblad, this model helps to ease the "daily battle for the best spots."
Reckless Smoking by the Pool and on the Beach
Despite smoking bans in many areas, smoking often occurs by the pool and beach – much to the dismay of many non-smokers. Alternatives such as tobacco-free nicotine products could provide a solution here, suggests Lindblad.
Pool Concerts and Hallway Yelling
Noise pollution is also among the recurring complaints: Music from private speakers, loud conversations in hotel hallways, or pool parties at inappropriate times regularly cause discontent. "Good spirits are welcome, but consideration should be just as natural," appeals Lindblad.
Vacation with Call Center Flair
According to the Haypp spokesperson, loud phone calls via FaceTime are a particular annoyance. When video chats are conducted from the pool area, it often leads to situations "reminiscent of a call center." The tip: Use retreats like your own hotel room – and don't unnecessarily impair the relaxation factor for other guests.
