Water Parks. Help Needed!!!

[taramasalata]

Hey all! I was just wondering what to do with our belongings while at the water parks?

Im thinkning about investing in an AquaPac bumbag or something similar to keep the real important things.

I'm talking more in terms of towels; there will be four of us, so what do we do when we all want to go into the water? Will our towels be safe? I don't want to lose our spot and obviously nobody will be there to guard them.

Please help.

Never heard of towels going missing but don't leave anything of any value. Its only $5 (£2.50) for a small locker not worth the risk.
We rent the towels, $1(50p) each. I am not trailing towels from UK for sake of £1.50. I know some people take their hotel towels but thats upto you.
We only get a chair to put towels on, we never stay still in a waterpark, if we want to sunbathe we do it at hotel pool.

I agree with wayneg - rent a locker for your personal posessions (clothes, sunscreen, etc) and rent towels from the park.

I wear a small waterproof box when we're touring the waterparks. They can easily hold your room and locker keys, some cash, a credit card.

We put our wallets etc in a locker and leave the towels, suntan lotion etc on a sunbed and have never had a problem. If you are staying onsite you can take the hotel towels and then after use leave them in a towel bin so you don't have to carry them back.

we rent a locker for the 4 of us and put car keys and money in oh and tickets we then keep drinks and snacks in a cool bag and sunscreen and put towels on the 2 sunbeds and2 chairs, so we have something to sit on for a 10min rest. we carry a waterproof camera on our wrist and then toss it in the bag with the snacks when it is full up.

We don't bother sunbathing at the waterparks but I have heard of towels going missing before. We just hire a couple of towels, leave the valuables in the lockers and just go and enjoy the park. If we want to sit for a while we just pick whatever seats or available.

We hired towels in January when we went to TL, then just left our suncream etc on the bed, we take minimal cash and no valuables either. Never had a problem.

We just put everything in a locker, including towels as we only use them at the end of the day anyway! As wayneg said, we never stay still at the water parks. If we want a gentle swim or to sunbathe we do it at the villa.

We rent a locker for our wallets and camera but leave most other things, towels, sun cream, clothes, on our sun bed and not had a problem.

The only time I had a problem was when I put my sun glasses beside the sink when I washed my hands then forgot them. I went back like 30 seconds later and they'd gone. Someone obivously thought they found a great pair of sunglasses as they were D&G but I got them off eBay for a few pounds
