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

From the 17th to the 26th February, Fuengirola will be presenting their latest gastronomic offering to help promote the town’s restaurants and bars: the 1st ‘Cazuela dela Abuela’ (literally translated as Grandma’s Casserole).
During the event, visitors and locals will be able to sample delicious home made stews, like the ones our grandma’s used to prepare! For the very reasonable price of €2, all participating restaurants will serve up a generous helping of warm stew (served in a clay bowl) and a drink; you can choose beer, wine or a soft drink.
Fuengirola continues to experiment and innovate with these original themed events designed to promote the towns gastronomic offering – a perfect example is last years Erotic Tapas Route – There is no doubt that this type of activity helps support the restaurant trade which, during the quiet winter months, can use all the help they can get to fill their establishments.

This Sunday the 22nd January it’s World Snow Day, an event which is being celebrated for the first time in ski resorts all over the world!
World Snow Day is the second phase of a project initiated by the FIS in 2007 called “Bring Children to the Snow”; the concept is self explanatory… In this phase – the biggest day on snow – simultaneous activities will occur all around the world on the 22nd January and will be repeated yearly in the 3rd week of January.
This unique initiative is designed to encourage families, and in particular, those with children to begin enjoying the snow. The idea is for children to try and experiment all types of snow related activities and sports. Obviously, people of all ages are encouraged to join in the fun and continue to enjoy the wonders of snow for years to come! (more…)

I know, I know, you’re just recovering from New Year’s celebrations and here I am enticing you to celebrate again; this time, for Chinese New Year!
The Costa del Sol Racecourse will be hosting a special Chinese New Year celebration this coming Sunday the 15th January 2012. Starting at 4pm – which is 11pm inChina – the event is open to all residents and visitors to theCosta del Sol and is absolutely free J
All those who attend will be treated to performances by local dance groups as well as a special performance by well known Chinese dance group Jin Fan; made up of 25 dancers, this group of entertainers will be flown in from Beijing specially for the event which is financed by the Chinese government.
The Chinese New Year celebrations at the Costa del Sol racecourse are also sponsored by the Chinese Association in Andalucía and the Association of the Qingtián Community in the South of Spain.
Those of you who are a little more knowledgeable about Chinese culture might have realised that these celebrations are actually a week early as the Year of the Dragon actually starts on the 22nd January! The reason for this is that the Jin Fan group hired for the event has to be back in China on that date…
Anyway, could be an interesting event to attend; something a little different for all those of you visiting the Costa del Sol, or indeed, those of you living here 😉
Let us know how you get on!
