Aimee Millar, 20, from Belfast , said she resorted to leaving her room in the middle of the night when she discovered other guests were doing the same. She told Luxury Travel Daily : 'In the hotel we stayed at, if we didn't get those certain sunbeds we would've had to pay 7.

50 Euros (£6) each for a bed. 'As much as it was crazy we didn't mind doing it at 1am as we were staying up later anyways.' Aimee and her partner Darragh, also 20, were holidaying in Albufeira, Portugal, in July when they realised they needed a new strategy to compete in the 'sunbed wars'.
