Welcome to San Stefanos (NW Corfu) > Where to stay

Romanza Hotel

laurenandsam:
Perhaps when the wind picks up the towels can be accidentally blown into the pool!

Waspman:
I stayed at The Romanza the same time as Rod, and yes, five sun beds were reserved very early in the morning, and yes, the majority were not occupied until later in the morning, but I cannot remember a time where there were no sun beds available but probably not in the prime positions.

I am an early riser and I used to, either lie on the sun bed or have a coffee in close vicinity to it.

It would be difficult for management to impose strict rules as the "five in question" have been regulars for many years, but in principle I do agree with Rod.

By far the best "towels on sun beds" policy I have ever seen is in an hotel in Playa De Las Americas, if towels are left on unoccupied sun beds before 10.00am they and any other personal possessions are removed by the pool staff and the sun beds made available to other guests, great fun to watch!!

Agree Waspy....

Same in Halkidiki....... you could put your towels out at 6am if you wanted but had to remain with them. If you put them out and they remained unoccupied any time up to 10am they were removed.

Rod:
I am pleased but not surprised at the support and agreement from you all.  Most on here come across as fair minded nice people.  I thank you all.

I must stress that the bed booking irritated me just a little and we refused to get drawn into any controversy or "tit fot tat".  Some of our friends in the village suggested rising early and doing similar and some even hinted at accidently throwing them into the pool, if that is at all possible.  But we refused and had some great days around other pools and twice on the beach (due to wind, no not me or the wife, the windy weather).  I must say there was no such carry on at the other places we spent our days at.

This is beginning to read more like an Enid Blyton Famous Five adventure.I will solve the mystery for you all, it was I.Yes it was Yiannis who put the five towels out early in the morning.I cannot understand how it slipped Rods & Waspmans memory.Even more so when I was sat on one of the beds reading when they both came down.If not I was having a coffee at the pool bar.Contrary to popular opinion I was not the first with the towels,  four people beat me on a regular basis.The reason Rod noticed a lot of towels on the beds at 0830hrs and only me & Waspman on them is as follows.The breakfast commences at 0730 hrs & people have to pass through the pool area to get there so what is more logical than to drop your towels off on the way.Next question why did I do it,surely it is obvious we are five friends who like to sit together & I am up every morning at 0730hrs, not to put put the towels but because I always get up at this time.Before anyone mentions it I do not go back to bed.Regarding the times these beds are occupied,four of them are among the first occupied  but I must  admit one of them may be as Rod says at 1100hrs.As has been mentioned in previous posts all the beds were not occupied if they had been I would have let this one go.
Now lets get to the crux of the matter.We as a five  spent all day on these beds only leaving them to have lunch or a swim.On on occasion we went down to the Kapetonias because of the wind but all towels were removed.Surely the main culprits are not us but the people who reserve beds and do not use them.Or the ones who disappear for 3-4 hrs in the middle of the day & leave their towels on.These are the ones you should be getting at and not us five.
