The New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner which was held in the Oasis Restaurant was a great success! Over 150 guests enjoyed an evening of great food, live music and dancing to welcome the new year.
Our undercover reporter managed to take a few pictures of the evening which we have included in the gallery below. See for yourselves what was on the menu (the dessert looked particularly amazing!), photos from behind the scenes in the kitchen, and guests having a a great time!!!

As from the 2nd January 2011, Spain will enforce a new tough anti-smoking law, joining some of Europe’s strictest anti-smoking nations by prohibiting smoking in enclosed places.
Spain’s previous anti-smoking law which was put in place in 2006 was designed to crack down on smoking in all public spaces; however, it’s major flaw – and the reason for its failure – was that it allowed owners of bars, cafes and restaurants to decide whether they would allow smoking in their establishments; the majority chose to do so!
The new law which comes into effect on the 2nd January is a lot stricter. The following are some of the main points:
- No smoking in enclosed public spaces
- No smoking in playgrounds and grounds of schools and hospitals
- No smoking in Bars, Cafes and Restaurants (this is the biggie!)
So what does this mean for Sunset Beach Club?
As from the 2nd January 2011, Sunset Beach Club will become a Smoke Free Zone. Smoking in all interior areas of the hotel, including indoor public areas and the apartments will be strictly prohibited.
Smoking will only be permitted in the following areas of the hotel:
- 1st floor: In the swimming pool area; on the terrace next to the restaurant; at the pool bar; in the archery area; and where there are sunbeds (except for the area near the children’s playground).
- 6th Floor: On the balcony next to the Panorama Bar and in the passageway at the hotel entrance.
It’s going to be interesting to see how the new anti-smoking law is enforced by the government; Spain has always been known as one of Europe’s most permissive countries in terms of smoking in public places. It’s going to be hard for many to get out of the habit of “lighting up” in a bar and only strict enforcement of the law will ensure its success.

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!

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…)
