Rosanna, who is currently on holiday with her family, has claimed that not only are people flocking to sunbeds, but many are also ruining the evening entertainment too.

The content creator, who has been enjoying her time in a five-star hotel, explained that guests are hogging tables at the hotel's theatre.
Posting on social media, Rosanna shared that holidaymakers are using either their towels or their glasses - yes, you heard that right - to reserve tables.
And not only are people desperately bagging the best spot for the hotel's shows, but they're also leaving their tables unattended for hours, sometimes even the entire afternoon.
Clearing fuming with people's actions, Rosanna said: 'So forget sunbed wars, we've got theatre wars here - people are reserving tables in the theatre where the show is with their f*****g beach towels, for five hours.'
Rosanna claimed that she has witnessed people 'throwing' beach towels over tables, whilst one group claimed a table of four with a pair of sunglasses.
Despite there being a sign that warns travellers against reserving seats, Rosanna stressed that one evening, she got down to the theatre area early to get a good table, but was stunned to see that 'nearly every table' had been reserved with people's beach towels.
Very frustrated, she added: 'I'm gonna go complain at reception, because it should not be up to guests to remove people's towels and then you end up with people fighting, that [was] happening last night when people were removing the towels.
'I've never seen nowt like it - chairs stacked on top of tables reserving them, it's a f*****g joke.'
And it's clear that others are not happy with this too, as Rosanna added: 'There was a girl yesterday who had reserved eight chairs and somebody threw her towels off the chairs and she started screaming and shouting.'
Eager to stop the unfair and unjust behaviour, the mother continued: 'It's a f*****g joke, you either sit here or you don't. Go for your tea and come down and get a table like most normal people would.'
I'm a sunbed hogger - I put my towel down at 1AM to bag the best spot by the pool even though I know it's unfair
Rosanna's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ iamrosannaob, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as in just 24 hours, it has quickly racked up 230,800 views.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 3,162 likes and 437 comments.

Tips for a stress-free holiday with kids
PARENTS have been told the three ways in which they can make family holidays with kids so much easier.
Three experts have weighed in with their advice on what to do in order to make your getaways as stress-free as possible.
Family holidays are always exciting but having kids of a certain age can mean that things are more difficult than they need to be.
Thanks to Travel Weekly, here are three ways that those with young toddlers can have the best holiday possible.
Clarisse Chapolard, who is responsible for overseeing and caring for Club Med's customers, says that booking off-peak flights ensures a quieter plane and airport - providing a more comfortable experience.
"Staff will generally be more available to help too," she adds. "Flights can be the biggest headache with small children, so travel short-haul where possible."
Clarisse also recommends making sure there are activities nearby to your accommodation to keep toddlers happy.
Having a child-friendly hotel can make the world of difference to your family holiday, especially when parents are looking for some time to themselves.
Founder and chief executive of Martinhal Resorts, Chitra Stern, said: "Accommodation needs to be child-friendly and safe, but also stylish and comfortable for parents."
Finding somewhere with bed protectors, stair gates, steps in the bathrooms and furniture with round edges will prevent any unnecessary injuries or accidents.
Alan Cross, director of travel agent relationships for Jet2holidays, has recommended parents to look at package holidays for peace of mind, ease and assurance.
"Families with toddlers may appreciate dedicated facilities like kids' clubs, children's pools, creches, playgrounds, cots and highchairs," he said.
Package deals can also include free child places, single-parent deals and discount codes, catering for more than a standard family of four.
Another added: 'All hotels should remove towels if unoccupied for more than 15 minutes.'
A third commented: 'I hate the reserved process, hotels should ban this.'
Meanwhile, one woman shared: 'My husband hates it. He will take towels off anywhere he wants to sit.'
At the same time, one user wrote: 'I'd remove all the towels. What's wrong with people?'
Not only this, but someone else sighed: "It's a joke, it's not fair at all."
