After Partial Collapse in Santa Ponsa: Who Is Responsible for Hotel Safety?

Answer

Are older hotels in Mallorca more likely to have structural problems?

Older hotels can be more vulnerable if maintenance has been delayed or carried out only in parts of the building. Age alone does not mean a property is unsafe, but decades of use can make structural wear harder to detect without proper inspections. That is why regular checks are important in Mallorca, especially in long-established accommodation buildings.
