Now, Vibra
Hotels
which owns the spot where the spat unfolded, has waded in - but it has caused only more confusion.
A spokesperson said: "The fight in the
pool
lasted less than three minutes since our corporate security at the hotel acted immediately.
"No chairs were thrown at any guests; the lady got in the middle, it seems that with the intention to stop the fight.
"The lady was asked by our security members if she wanted to report to the
police
and file a complaint, but she said she was okay and she did not want to, that she just slipped and she was fine, and she thanked our security members.

"It took less than three minutes for the incident to end since our security acted quickly, and as soon as they acted, the fighters left the pool area.
"It really is a shame for us and for our teams to have to deal with this kind of issue, especially when people are supposed to come on holiday to enjoy and have fun, and not to act in other ways."

One clip clearly shows a white plastic chair clobbering blonde lady on the back and sending her to ground - before another chair flies over her unmoving body.
The whole fiasco has been followed by tit-for-tat swipes, but multiple sources have claimed Kian's group were the initial troublemakers.
Brandon told
that the footballer had "provoked" his friends and the whole group were "looking for a fight".
He said all had been peaceful during the five days of their stay before Kian and his gang rocked up.

The new arrivals were lobbing balls around causing trouble from the moment they arrived, Brandon claimed.
He continued: "'They were just being a nightmare. One lad was winding us up. Kian was sat right
next
to him and if anything Kian was provoking him."
Another Brit who was at the hotel, Kyle Crawford,
told The Sun
that Kian
and his three pals were "being horrible" to a group of women before the clash.
He said: "There was four lads, we didn't know who they were, being horrible to some women.
"They were just in the pool splashing them and throwing balls at them - being proper immature."
Another caught up in the fight told The Sun: "It was Kian Harratt. He was bothering these girls."
