Nobody doubts the fact that summer 2020 in Benalmádena and the Costa del Sol is going to be different. However, the Malaga coast will continue to be an ideal destination to leave the nightmares of the pandemic behind and to enjoy a safe and memorable family holiday.
This year, more than ever, Sunset Beach Club apartments provide the perfect type of accommodation for families seeking security, tranquillity and privacy. As these are apartments with a full kitchen, you won’t have to worry about queuing at the buffet of a traditional hotel and getting overwhelmed by crowds. Having your own kitchen you can prepare your own meals and enjoy them on the sunny terrace of your apartment.
Last week, I spent a pleasant afternoon chatting to Michael and Breda Quinn, loyal guests who have been coming to Sunset Beach Club for over 20 years! Our hotel becomes their home at least 3 times a year (March, June & October) when they grab the Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Málaga and head to Sunset to enjoy a relaxing sunny break at their favourite hotel.
I like to meet guests and hear about their experiences at our hotel; it’s these conversations that provide extremely valuable feedback that helps us in our efforts to continually improve our customer experience.
After spending a few minutes enjoying the jaw-dropping views from their apartment (see photo below) I asked Michael and Breda a simple question:
“What do you like most about Sunset Beach Club?”
In summarised bullet form, here’s what they answered (not necessarily in order of importance):
The location of the hotel is second to none – practically over-looking the sea, with beaches on either side, it’s absolutely perfect!
The apartments are a nice size and are always spotless.
The staff are so friendly and helpful, they always go out of their way to help, nothing is too much. We always feel at home when we come.
The security; we like to feel safe when we travel abroad. The security within the hotel is fantastic and the surrounding areas also make us feel at ease.
We don’t have to leave the hotel if we don’t want to; the excellent facilities provide us with all we need such as a supermarket, restaurants and entertainment.
Breathtaking views from the apartment...
I’d like to thank Michael and Breda for taking the time to talk to me and look forward to welcoming them back to Sunset Beach Club again in March!

Are you a darts fan? Yes! Well, this weekend, you won’t want to miss the “Radikal Darts” Spanish and European Darts Championships which will be held at the Torrequebrada hotel (just a few minutes walk from Sunset Beach Club).
More than 2000 darts fans will flock to Benalmádena to take part in this unique championship organised by the Spanish Darts Confederation; over 100 of these players will be staying at Sunset Beach Club J Many will be travelling to the Coast to enjoy some sunshine and their favourite hobby, whereas others, will be attracted by the chance to win some cash; there will be a prize pot of 30.000 Euros!
The most curious fact about this tournament is that it involves the use of the “Radikal Darts” dart board; a special electronic dart board which allows players to play and compete over the internet. Thanks to this innovative technology, many of the players taking part in the tournament actually qualified from the comfort of their local puds! The Radikal Darts system allowed for scores to be collected over the internet…technology at its best!
Two watch the Spanish Championship, just head down to the Torrequebrada hotel at 10am on Friday the 20th May; the European Championship starts on Saturday 21st May at the same time.
If you are planning on attending the Darts Championship and need accommodation, we’ve got some great value apartments starting at €63 per night. To book, please visit www.sunsetbeachclub.com .
He’s supposed to be on holiday, relaxing and getting ready for his long trip around the world; however, Santa just can’t stay still!
We’ve caught him on camera again, helping around the resort: Cleaning around the pool, gardening, changing light bulbs, lifeguard duties, cleaning rooms, you name it, he’s been doing it! He’s even managed to find time to do some exercise in the gym and to play Petanca on the promenade with some of the hotel guests!
Update: Please note that the Christmas show programmed for Sunday the 19th December has been cancelled. The show on Monday 20th goes ahead as planned.
Christmas is just around the corner and to get us all into the festive spirit, there will be a fantastic christmas Show taking place in our Moonlight Bar the weekend before christmas.
Produced and performed by the team at Entertain in Spain, (they were also responsible for the hugely successful Back to the 40’s show a couple of months ago) the show is the perfect excuse to enjoy a fun evening out with all the family!
You’ll be treated to all your favourite christmas carols, songs and music, all performed by some of the most talented singers and performers on the Coast. The beauty of these shows is that you also have a large screen video show throughout the performance which complements the live singing; it truly is a unique experience and a must see!
During the show’s interval, you be able to sample some warm mince pies and a glass of mulled wine; if you are lucky, you might also win one of the fantastic prizes in the Christmas Charity Raffle!
There will be two showings of the Costa del Sol Christmas Show: The first will be on Sunday the 19th December (Update: the Sunday show has been cancelled) and the second on Monday the 20th December. The shows start at 8pm; tickets are €20 for adults and €12 for children under 12 and Senior Citizens. Please call 655 087 198 or visit www.entertaininspain.com to purchase tickets or for more information about the show.
Don’t forget…..write it down on your calendar; 19th and 20th December at the Moonlight Theatre at Sunset Beach Club Hotel in Benalmadena.
Kneller Golf Society - all the way from Twickenham
We’re pleased to welcome the Kneller Golf Society to Sunset Beach Club. This is the second year in a row that they choose Sunset Beach Club for their yearly golf society trip!
In the photo above you can see the guys with Annemie (from our Golf Desk) just after a great round of golf at Torrequebrada. I think they were on their way to the Panorama Bar to catch Happy Hour!
The group booked all their accommodation and golf tee times through our Golf Desk Service; Annemie even arranged all their transfers from the airport and to all the golf courses they are playing at during their stay.
The guys have had a busy week of golf and there is more to come…..they have played the following courses: Lauro Golf, El Chaparral, Torrequebrada and Alhaurin. Tomorrow they play Miraflores and on Friday they will be playing at our sister resort of La Cala; all in all, a great week of golf!
