A BRIT mum has been slammed for sneaking her entire family into a luxury resort for free by using a sneaky trick.
Roxanne Balciunas, from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, was staying in the Ramada Hotel & Suites, Turkey, in May on an all-inclusive holiday with her family.

However, when the 39-year-old later uncovered the discarded all-inclusive wristbands in her travel bag, she booked a second trip to the popular resort town almost two months later on July 7.
Taking her two children aged 13 and six along for the ride, the mum slept in a cheap apartment ten minutes away from the Ramada – and used the out-of-date wristbands to sneak into the resort.
Roxanne claims that she originally snuck into the hotel to surprise her mum who was staying at the Ramada at the time – but was still sure to make the most of the resort’s all-inclusive features over the four-night trip.
Shameless TikTok footage shared on July 12 shows the family of three dining on ice cream, booze, and luxury meals for free whilst lounging by the hotel pool.
Alongside her video, she bragged that her footage showed her “stealing the Ramada all inclusive” before boasting “call me a thief all you like but I enjoyed my week of free food and drink”.
Roxanne’s post racked up more than 900 likes, shares and comments, and viewers were quick to share their differing opinions.
Whilst some praised the mum’s supposed “bravery”, others were more critical.
One said: “Why would you air yourself? Some things are better left unsaid.”
Another added: “So if you can afford to go [on holiday] every month, why would you steal from the hotel like that?”
A third slammed her actions and said: “Feel sad for those people who work really hard for things and people like you just think they can cheat the system.”
Another said: “Bloody hell – you are braver than me.”
While one user said: “Absolutely hilarious. Well done.”
Roxanne claims that the family go on holiday every month, and exclusively stay at four star and five-star all-inclusive venues.
The hospitality worker says that the family ate more of the food at the Ramada this time than they did during their paying stay – claiming that the fact it was free made it “more exciting”.
Roxanne said: “My mum only booked her holiday a week ago, it was a last-minute thing.
“I kind of steered my mum towards that hotel, and when I found our bands [from May], I was like ‘this is great’.”
“I was just messing about, saying ‘we’ll go and eat their food’. I was just joking at first to the kids, but then we did.
“I booked last minute to go and surprise her. I used the bands, and it worked.
“[The hotel we stayed in] was clean, but when we go on holiday, we do go five-star all inclusive, or four minimum.
“They didn’t check my wristbands when I first walked in. Because I had it on, nobody checked because they could see I was wearing one.
“My son thought it was quite funny. Every time we were eating something, he was like, ‘free chips, free food’.
“It made it more exciting because it was free. I think I ate more this time than I did last time when we paid.”
Roxanne claims that the family “got lucky” as the hotel were using the same colour wristbands that week as they had during her stay in May.
Although Roxanne says that she thoroughly enjoyed her time in the resort, the mum claims that she doubts she would get away with it again after sharing footage on TikTok.
Roxanne says: “It’s a lovely hotel. That’s why I steered my mum towards it. We really enjoyed it.
“My wristband was slightly different. It was a really fine print in black, whereas my mum’s new one had a bigger print.
“I was really conscious that they’d notice, but luckily they didn’t.
“Sometimes they have different colour bands, so we got lucky that it was that colour band that week.
“I don’t know if I’d do it again. It’s on TikTok so they’ve probably seen it.”
