San Antonio has come under the spotlight this summer following a number of tourist deaths in hotel plunges. Dundee-born ice hockey star Gary Kelly, 19, became the fourth holidaymaker to die at four-star Ibiza Rocks Hotel since April 27. He fell from a third-floor balcony on July 21 in an incident which the Civil Guard has described as an accident.

On July 7, Ewan Thomson, 26, from Aberdeen, fell to his death at the same hotel. A 19-year-old Italian tourist of Turkish origin plunged to her death on April 27 from a fourth-floor at the hotel, owned by the Ibiza Rocks Group which is led by the British founders of island super club Manumission. The latest incident happened at the Marco Polo hotel in San Antonio, which hit headlines in June after it was at the centre of a poolside brawl involving English footballer Kian Harratt.

Tension flared between two groups at the hotel before footage emerged showing a young Brit, later identified as Oldham Athletic striker Kian Harratt, lobbing a stool towards another guest but hitting a lady instead. The EFL frontman broke his silence afterwards to admit he felt “terrible” and “very apologetic” but levelled the blame at a poolside bully.
