The Flinstones!
Last Wednesday evening, all the staff here at Sunset enjoyed a fun packed Christmas Party held in our Moonlight Theatre.
This year we all had to dress up in fancy dress! It was great to see the effort and imagination that some members of staff put in to their costumes. Some of the group efforts produced great laughs (just look at the photos of the Maintenance team dressed up as babies and the supermarket staff’s Flinstones tribute!). It’s hard to point out a best fancy dress as there were loads of great candidates.
The food was fantastic! We were treated to an amazing buffet prepared by our Head Chef, Paul Tugwell, and his great team; prawns, selection of meats, salads, ham, cheeses, wonderful desserts….. makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
As is tradition here at Sunset, the hotel management team presented awards to key members of staff who have been working at the hotel for 10, 15 and even 20 years! The following staff members received beautiful Waterford Crystal gifts as recognition of their dedication and years of work: (more…)

We’ve got some very important guests staying with us this week……..Santa Claus and his lovely wife!
They fancied a few days of rest and relaxation before heading off on their busy round the world trip, delighting children and adults alike! Luckily for us, they chose to stay at Sunset 🙂
Santa can’t seem to relax too much on his holidays and insists on helping out around the hotel; he’s also taken part in some of the activities we have programmed this week…..
He very kindly allowed us to take photos; here’s a few we took today! No doubt we’ll have a few more before the end of the week.

Good news for all our Scottish guests: Jet 2 airways have just announced that they will be introducing new direct flights between Malaga and Edinburgh as from the 2nd April 2011.
Initially there will be two weekly flights, one on Wednesday and one on Saturday. I’ve just had a look on their website and they are advertising one way flights from 29.99 pounds including taxes J
This will actually be the 5th route connecting Málaga and the UK as the low cost airline already has regular flights to Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and Blackpool.
Great news for Málaga and the Costa del Sol as it means that we can welcome more tourists from Scotland as well as allowing locals to jump on a direct flight to visit the beautiful city of Edinburgh!

The Costa del Sol Christmas Show Programme
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.

Gliding through La Paloma Park in Benalmadena
You’ve probably seem them gliding through the streets of your local town or at least on television but, do you know what they are? The Segway personal transporter is actually the first ever self-balancing, electric-powered transportation device. It may look like a simple two wheeled electric scooter but, it is much more than that!
The Segway works through a concept called Dynamic Stabilization which enables it to work seamlessly with the body’s movements. So how on earth does it do that? Well, the Segway has built in gyroscopes and tilt sensors which monitor a rider’s gravity at about 100 times a second. This means that when the rider leans slightly forward, the Segway moves forward; likewise, when they lean back, it moves backwards. Pretty simple isn’t it? (more…)

Miguel, Sharon and Baby Carlos!
Look who just stopped by the office….. Miguel Marcos, our Operations Director with his wife, Sharon, and their new born son, Carlos!
Now that’s what I call a proud Dad! I have to say that Miguel doesn’t look like the typical newbie Dad with bags under the eyes due to sleepless nights! Miguel tells us that the reason for that is that Carlos is as good as gold at night and pretty much sleeps all the way through….. lucky Dad!
Congratulations to Miguel and Sharon!
