Marbella New App to Reserve Sun Loungers Launches
Just as you can book a flight weeks in advance to Malaga airport you can now
use an app to book your favourite seat by the pool before you even leave your
home.
There are lots of problems with a package holiday; delayed
flights, sunburn, a poor quality buffet to name a few. The one that really
scares British tourists is the idea of not being able to find a place by the
pool to soak up the sun.

| Marbella has a new and innovative approach to sun bathing. |
As with almost everything there are some lazy stereotypes
out there. The main antagonist is, of course, the Germans. They wake up early
and spread out their towels on all the best seats before going to breakfast.
They know that a polite Brit would never move their towels even though there
are rules against trying to reserve loungers like this.
The problem may not be as simple as that but the fact
remains many holidaymakers across all nationalities become annoyed when they
can’t find the perfect seat. Well now there’s an app for that too.
The BookMySunbed app was developed by Daniel Jain, a 23 year
old from London who is getting ready to launch the app. Users are able to use
the app to find the best seat in the house (or by the pool) before even leaving
on holiday.
Don’t worry if this all sounds too good to be true. The app
is set to be launched this summer in Marbella. So if you’re going to the Costa
del Sol you’ll be able to see it in action for yourself.
The Local says that all the hotels in Marbella have come
together to agree to use the app with their pools. If things go well then the
app will eventually make its way to all of Spain and, should the popularity be
high enough, across the entire world.
Jain did an interview with The Local in which he said that
he feels having to wake up early to secure a place by the pool can put a real
dampener on a holiday. He says that the app will allow people to reserve their
favourite sunbeds in the same way that they can reserve a seat at the cinema or
on an airplane.
The app will launch with several language options including
English, Spanish, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and French. It’s
interesting that the only language really missing from that list is,
remarkably, the Germans.
