After 25 Years at Sunset, We Bid Farewell to Sr. Benito
Posted by: | Comments
David Benito – or Sr. Benito as we all call him – has been heading our Reservations Department for 25 years. He has been an integral part of the team that has seen Sunset Beach Club grow into one of the most successful and highly regarded hotels on the Costa del Sol. However, all good things come to an end and it is now time for Sr. Benito to retire and enjoy a well earned break from the day to day “madness” of our reservations department.
We’d like to take this opportunity to wish Sr. Benito the very best for the future. We’re also delighted to inform you that Armando Martinez, who has been our Reception Manager and Reservations assistant for the past 9 years, will now take up Sr. Benito’s role.
In turn, Silvia Bellido, who has worked on our reception desk for the last 15 years, has been promoted to the position of Deputy Reception Manager.
Those of you who are regular visitors to Sunset Beach Club will, no doubt, already know Armando and Silvia; we are sure you will join us in congratulating them both on their promotions and wish them the best of luck in their new roles.
If any of you wish to contact our Reservations Department, the email address remains the same: booking@sunsetbeachclub.com

Santa Claus getting comfortable before giving out the presents!
At 12:00 o’clock on the dot, punctual as ever, Santa Claus made his – much awaited – entrance to the Panorama Bar. The smiles on the kid’s faces said it all and their excitement was evident; probably because of the large bags of presents that Santa and his helpers were carrying! Read More→

Toy Collection for the Children in the Oncology Ward
Posted by: | Comments
The puzzles Sunset Beach Club will be donating
With Christmas creeping up on us, we are reminded that this festive season is a time for giving… At Sunset Beach Club we take pride in collaborating with local charities and helping those in need and this Christmas we have chosen a very special cause…
The Málaga Tourist Board has organised a toy collection campaign amongst its employees, members, collaborators and friends and as Sunset Beach Club is a member, we are happy to take part in this fantastic initiative.
The toys collected will be given to children (aged 1 to 14 years) who are undergoing treatment in the Oncology Ward of the Hospital Materno Infantil inMalaga. All this will be done through AVOI, aMalagabased charity which, thanks to the wide range of activities they organise, makes these children’s stay in hospital a little less traumatic.
The most appropriate toys are all those which are educational in nature such as puzzles, colouring books, books with stickers, soft toys, colouring sets and other similar gifts.
Sunset Beach Club will be donating 51 puzzles and games and many of the staff have brought in toys to contribute to this fantastic cause.
Nobody deserves to be in hospital during the Christmas holidays, much less young children; this is our way of helping bring a smile to their faces during this difficult time.
If you’d like to contribute to the charity by donating toys for the children of the Oncology Ward (it doesn’t have to be anything fancy) you can leave them at the “Patronato de Turismo” offices in Málaga (Plaza del Siglo 2) from Monday to Friday between 8am and 4pm; Thursday the 22nd December is the last day!
The toys will be delivered to the Oncology Ward on Christmas Eve
