Moulin Rouge Rehearsals

Rehearsals are well under way for our Summer shows, the entertainment team are working hard to make sure this year’s Tribute to Moulin Rouge lives up to the high expectations of the hotel guests! Each year as well as a variety of professional acts, one night per week, the Moonlight Bar proudly presents a tribute show, produced by our animation staff. From this week’s sneaky peak at rehearsals, we doubt that this Summer’s whirldwind of sensational dancing and authentic costumes will disappoint!

Paella by the pool

Who doesn’t love a traditional Spanish paella? This Summer‘s activity programme includes Spanish cookery classes, one of the most popular of them is the demonstration of how to make a paella. The dish is made the traditional way with classic ingredients, but rather than being stuck indoors on a sunny day during your holiday, our Entertainment team bring the lesson to the poolside! Hotel guests are invited to gather around and watch the class before being invited to taste a tapa and offered a glass of wine to wash it down! We recently snook out of the office to take a look for ourselves and made this quick video to get your mouths watering…Click here to view the video!

We’re coming to Cork!

This coming weekend, 15th – 16th May, is the Senior Times’ Over 50’s Show the the City Hall in Cork. Sunset Beach Club will be attending the show with our own stand, C14, where you will have the opportunity to pick up some of our brochures and DVDs as well as meeting Chelo from our Commercial department and the Hotel’s General Manager!

Exploring Morrocco

Chelo from our Comercial Department, and Annemie from the Golf and Leisure desk, spent last week on a trip to Morrocco with the Costa del Sol tourist board. Both of them had a great time exploring and enjoying both Tangiers and Casablanca. Here is a picture of the group at the port in Tangier on their way back to Spain!

Manic May!

May is always a very busy month here at the hotel as the weather is perfect not just for family holidays but also for first comunions and weddings, lots of warm days with plenty of sunshine, but not too hot to bare in a suit and tie! We had two first comunions celebrated here last Saturday, one small group enjoyed a gala lunch in our seventh floor banquet room, whilst Clara’s comunion was held in the Moonlight Bar, with over 100 guests attending! Here we have a video taken of the room before the guests arrived, beautifully decorated with colourful balloons and chair ribbons as well as personalised table plans and menu cards:
