The first of his awkward encounters happened as he soaked up the sun by the hotel's swimming pool.
A blonde lady in a bright red dress shouted over to him in a bid to attract his attention.
Rushing over, she realised that he did not recognise her so introduced herself as Mandy.
"How funny is this?!" she gushed. "We matched on Tinder and Bumble!"

Minutes later, Gareth was filmed going on a date with a Welsh beauty - a mum-of-one called Carys from Barry.
Looking at him from across the table, Carys said: "I'm pretty sure we have spoken before. I remember you have got a little boy."
Gareth, who now works as a paramedic for the NHS, replied: "Yeah, I know who you are."
He added: "We probably matched on Tinder about three years ago, when I worked away."
Speaking to the First Dates Hotel cameras, Gareth was quick to explain himself.
"South Wales is quite a small part of the country," the former soldier said. "Everyone knows each other. You might have been on a date with someone or their friend and they all know."
First Dates Hotels fans were left in hysterics and quickly shared their thoughts on Twitter.
One mused: ";Gareth gets around on Tinder!"
Another joked: "Gareth the Tinder pro!"
A third even wrote: "Certainly isn’t Gareth’s first time at the rodeo. If you’ve been on dating sites so much that two birds on the same show coincidentally recognise you, perhaps it’s time to change your ideals?"
Even though Gareth and Carys didn't meet up in person following their Tinder match, they hit it off at the First Dates Hotel.
The single parents bonded over their love for their children and headed back to the same hotel room for a smooch at the end of their date.
Hinting that things had got even steamier, Gareth asked Carys how she slept the following morning. Carys giggled in response.
The First Dates crew later grilled them about their nighttime antics, but the pair insisted they had simply enjoyed a "cwtch" together.

However, Carys then glared at Gareth as he almost let slip that things had got more kinky than they were letting on.
First Dates Hotel continues next Tuesday at 9pm on C4.
