We have been to Punta Cana many times (and honeymooned in Greece) and seem to always have problems with German tourists. Let me also state that I used to work at a 5 start hotel in the United States. My question ... why do German tourists think they can reserve lounge chairs all day? Our rules (at the hotel) were, abandoned chair for more than 1/2 hour get cleared off. Do other hotels (or countries) have similar rules? I'm frustrated to go on vacation and never be able to sit down on a chair without someone yelling at me and chasing me.
