If they do their market research they'll realise that there's not enough customers here.

Spoilsport
Whoever had the idea to put migrants in a hotel in the middle of a holiday resort to quarantine (even without tourists ) surely somewhere out of the way would be safest option . What happens when their quarantine time is up are they free to wander the streets of Caleta ?
@villan It's was a second-degree question Villan. So no spoilsport, simply a big humorous wink like .
But to be honest, did you notice where our Spanish soldiers are located and barracked ? There would be a lot to say about this but this blog is not the right place.
@geoffutv That's a very good question. Well, I seems I'm the first one to (try to) answer you. So, Maybe :
1. Drink (no, taste) mojitos
2. Have some nice tapas.
3. Enjoy some great meat planchas at Fado Rock. I know, veg is not my cuppa 😉
4. A jump (not really a good idea) in the "piscina natural" https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=144YRgoDGUVM46MG6pyu_GvXB9cU&ll=28.400689002177476%2C-13.85043356143398&z=16.
@alex Ha ha ,maybe a weekend pass for the MTK Gym ,a trip on the catamaran, or a group night of Karaoke at Pierros to celebrate the end of quarantine. Unbelievable.
