Between Balconies and Empty Rooms: A Break-in in Playa de Palma and the Security Gaps

Answer

What security problems do balconies create for hotels in Mallorca?

Balconies can create blind spots if they are linked in a way that allows movement between rooms or floors. Low parapets and easy access to exterior walkways can make it simpler for someone to avoid the main entrance. In Mallorca, older hotel layouts can be practical for guests but less secure when buildings are quiet.
