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.

You may have to watch where in the world you vacation if you don't like chair hogs.
What about entitled chair hogs?

Hmm, I guess the answer is to just deal with it. Germans are bad, but the french are worst - americans are the most likely to complain, at least that's what the survey says:

No way, I love drinking and singing Kareoke with my British pals.
Growing up in Holland many of my fellow Germans visit the Dutch coast and they have the same problem there. The Germans digging holes in the beach and making their own little Heimat. It cracks me up
I always found them very amusing when I stay at an all inclusive,out there poolside at 6-6:30 am placing towels on chairs and going back to bed. I like to take their towels back to my room
so I have a few nice blue beach towels in my apt, or take the towels and pile them up next to the towel hut near the pool. I then go back to bed and come out about 10-11 to see them fighting with the other tourists in their alledged chairs. Try it you will get some satisfaction.
German tourists???? How bout living with German expats!!!
But in all cultures, there are good & bad ones, so I won't lump 'em all!!

We all know you did not set your alarm clock for 6AM to reserve your beach chair BP, you must have had "down time" between the lovely Miss Moca and Miss Bonao!

C'mon Ricardo they have some really good restaurants and some of them are pretty good guys. Some are a little difficult and think they are still fighting WWII still.

Hahahahaha, you are right about that, you definitely know more than I do, so I won't even start on the French Canadians

Ok lets stay away from those French Canadians,Other Canadians hate them too. The Russians are OK, they stay to themselves and really don't bother anyone except when they play Texas hold'em in Playa Chiquita and think its called go all in every hand!!!!
The Germans have been reserving lounge chairs forever - I actually think they're taught this in school You'll just have to get over it!
I've met loads of lovely Germans all over the world. The ones bugging me the most have always been the loud Americans (not saying they're ALL like that)! But hey, that's just my opinion
