An eviction company is blocking the entrance to a hotel in Majorca where 100 squatters have moved in after experiencing rising rents across the island, they claim.
He claimed that he paid an entrance fee to stay in one of the hotel apartments, but now is faced with an eviction company at the entrance to the building.
This is a hotel and if the people who enter do not pay for the hotel service and the costs that this entails, they will not be allowed in," stated Tomeu Carbonell, head of security for the company.
The BelleVue hotel in Puerto de Alcudia, Majorca, has been filled with squatters, leading to concerns ahead of the summer high-season.
Some of the squatters have since complained of feeling cheated because they were forced to pay between €800 (£662.30) and €1,500 (£1,241.81) for a hotel apartment, whilst others were paying between €150 (£124.18) and €300 (£248.36) a month.
