NINE young Dutch tourists were arrested at Palma airport on Sunday after thrashing three rooms at their Mallorca hotel.
The group of friends aged between 18 and 20 years caused €2,070 of damage at the Palma Bay Club resort hotel in s’Arenal.
They had stayed at the three-star hotel for several days and left on Sunday without checking out.

Hotel cleaners were greeted by the sight of a large hole that separated two of the rooms.
A third room where three of the group had stayed had a totally damaged television screen.
The employees reported the vandalism to the hotel’s deputy manager, who contacted the Policia Nacional.
Officers discovered they were flying back home that afternoon to the Netherlands and arrested them at the airport.
They spent the night in cells and appeared before a Palma judge on Monday.
The group invoked their right not to testify but their passports were taken away until they paid €2,070 for the damage.
