Two Shows Which are Delighting Our Guests
Posted by: | Comments
We Will Rock You
The Lion King
If you’ve stayed with us during these summer months, you will undoubtedly have had a chance to watch some of the fantastic shows at our Moonlight Theatre which have been a great hit this season. Some of these shows are high quality acts brought in specially and some are fantastic tribute shows produced in house by our entertainment team; this year, they’ve prepared tributes to two fantastic musicals: The Lion King and We Will Rock You!
The work that goes into the preparation of these shows is unbelievable; you only have to take a look at the costumes and choreography to see that this is no mere improvised show, the team went through hours of gruelling rehearsals to ensure that guests get to watch a top quality show, week in and week out.
If you haven’t had a chance to watch them yet, you’ll need to hurry as they are only going to be performed until the end of August! Join Rocio and her talented team as they bring you their impressive versions of two of theWest End’s biggest hits.
Here’s a short video preview of “We Will Rock You” and “The Lion King” to give you a taste of what to expect:
We Will Rock You
In a future world dominated by the digital era of Globalsoft, a small group of bohemians fight for their dreams; fight to create their own music…
The Lion King
Based on the Disney hit film, this moving musical tells the story of Simba, the young lion cub and his adventures in the African Pride Lands. With music that was composed and written by Elton John and Tim Rice, this is a family show you won’t want to miss…
Sneak Preview of Our New Show: The Lion King
Posted by: | Comments
Yesterday afternoon, I managed to creep into the Moonlight theatre and watch the last dress rehearsal before tonight’s debut performance of “The Lion King”.
Our entertainment team have been working hard – often rehearsing for hours after work – to prepare this fantastic tribute to the West End classic. I took loads of photos, many of which are in the gallery below; as you can see, the team really worked hard on the costumes and I am sure you’ll agree that they’ve done a brilliant job! It’s obviously going to be a popular show with the little ones but I highly recommend at to everyone as the music, dancing, costumes and spectacular lighting are really impressive! Read More→

St Patrick’s Day Celebrations in Benalmadena: Here’s the Plan….
Posted by: | Comments
St Patrick’s Day is a popular celebration in Benalmadena. Last year more than 1000 Irish locals joined in the parade in the centre of town; add to that the holiday makers that visit the popular resort and you’ve got the makings of a great party!
It’s no secret that Sunset Beach Club is an Irish-owned hotel, therefore, the 17th March is an important day on our calendar. Every year we prepare our “Sunset Style” celebrations which include consuming vast amounts of Guinness at the Panorama Bar and a fantastic “Irish Themed” set menu for all our guests in the Oasis Restaurant!
If you’re looking for a plan for St Patrick’s day, here’s what we recommend you do:
1) When you wake up, head down to our Oasis Restaurant and tuck into the hot buffet breakfast; you’re going to need something solid in your stomach before venturing out and enjoying the festivities ;-)
2) At around mid-day, you might want to make your way into the centre of Benalmadena (Arroyo de la Miel) and join in the St Patrick’s Day parade (starts at the Catholic Church in arroyo de la Miel and ends up at the Feria ground in Benalmadena) Weather permitting, you’re guaranteed a great afternoon of singing, dancing and, of-course, Guinness!!!
3) At 6:30pm, make sure you head back to Sunset Beach Club to enjoy our Happy Hour in the Panorama Bar. Half price drinks until 7:30pm as well as free canapés and giveaways (hats, etc).
4) Dinner at the Oasis Restaurant: It’s time for a delicious St Patrick’s Day Themed Dinner prepared by our Head Chef for the occasion. Here’s the menu:
Cream of leek and potato soup with chives
or
Salad Nicoise
or
Marinated melon balls with amaretto
******
Irish lamb stew
or
Goujons of Rosada with an alioli sauce
or
Pasta with rocket, pesto and prawns
******
Irish coffee cheese cake with a baileys and chocolate sauce
or
Lemon mousse meringue with red berries sauce
So what do you think? Sounds like a good plan doesn’t it? Hurry up and make your booking by calling the restaurant on extension 3000. Local residents who are not staying in the hotel are more than welcome to come and join in the fun! (please call 952 579400 – ext 3000 for reservations)
