More than 150 people were evacuated from the Rey Don Jaime hotel in Santa Ponça, Mallorca, after part of the building collapsed on Monday evening. The incident occurred at around 9.30pm in a dining room, where customers were eating when the floor gave way.
Local media reported that four people suffered minor injuries and were treated by health services at the scene. The dining room, approximately 30 metres long, saw tables and chairs slide sideways as the floor caved in. There have been no reports of serious injuries.
The Civil Guard is investigating the collapse, with initial indications suggesting that the floor had not been reinforced with mesh and had sunk with age. Firefighters, ambulances, and police from Calvià responded to the scene, evacuating around 150 people as a precaution.
This incident follows a similar collapse at the Poseidon Palace hotel in Benidorm on Easter Sunday, where a restaurant ceiling fell, injuring seven people. In that case, around 400 people had been in the restaurant the day before, and the hotel has since closed the dining room pending a technical report.
