SunSpot

Reserve specific sunbeds at resorts.

Problem

High demand, zero predictability, lots of friction poolside. Guests arrive early to claim spots. Staff handle disputes. Premium locations go to whoever camps out first—not who values them most.

Solution

Guests pick a lounger on a map, pay, and check in with QR. Hotels unlock a new revenue stream. Guests get certainty.

Turn sunbeds into revenue

SunSpot lets resorts, beach clubs, and hotels monetize premium poolside and beachfront seating with map-based reservations.

The problem

Hotels face a daily scramble:

  • Guests arrive at sunrise to claim premium spots
  • No revenue from high-demand locations
  • Staff manage disputes and towel hogs
  • No data on demand or utilization

The opportunity

Premium sunbeds are high-value real estate. Guests will pay for:

  • Guaranteed shade or waterfront spots
  • Predictability (no 6 AM wake-up call)
  • Seamless mobile experience

Hotels get:

  • New revenue stream (avg. $8–$25 per bed/day)
  • Better guest experience
  • Utilization data to optimize layouts

How it works

For guests

  1. Open the app or scan a QR code
  2. View a map of available sunbeds
  3. Select time slot (half-day or full-day)
  4. Pay via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card
  5. Check in with QR code at the pool

For hotels

  1. Upload a map of your pool/beach area
  2. Set pricing (fixed or dynamic by zone/time)
  3. Staff use the check-in app to scan QR codes
  4. Track revenue and utilization in real time
