Who Are the Sunbathers?
[p]Sunbathers are the bronzed of vacationers of your guest list. They don’t care about your five-star dining or your avant-garde art installations. No, no. These folks are here for one thing and one thing only: maximum UV exposure![/p][p]They’re drawn to hotels that offer ample tanning opportunities. Think of the average sun worshipping vacationers that have a craving for anywhere they can stretch out like lizards on a hot rock![/p]
What Do They Want?
[p]Let’s be honest - Sunbathers are simple compared to Upper Crust but sometimes we jump straight past them because we want 5 stars straight away so here’s their wishlist:[/p][p]Sun, and lots of it (or the artificial kind!)[/p][p]This means sunbeds to sunbath on! Sunbathers will show up to any location, as long as you’ve got the goods. Ended up in Snowy St. Anton with no sun? No problem - a tanning bed inside will do!

You can see all the details about your ratings and reviews in the Financial overview tab. Clicking on the last critic review button will show you more indepth areas to cover.

Bonus points if you have things Sunbathers like! You may have noticed in the Guest tab of the People Area that sunbathers also enjoy certain items. They will like your hotel more and give higher reviews if they have access to these things in your hotel: [/p]
- [p]Salad on the restaurant menu[/p][/*]
- [p]Surf simulator for some entertainment[/p][/*]
- [p]Exercise balls in the gym[/p][/*]
