After 25 Years at Sunset, We Bid Farewell to Sr. Benito

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
