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!
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!
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:
Every year, during the month of April, The “Feria de los Pueblos” comes to Fuengirola for one week and brings the main feria ground to life with cosmopolitan ambiance and fantastic atmosphere. The feria ground is easily accessible, located between the the main train station of Fuengirola and that of Los Boliches, meaning the festival attracts many visitors from all over Andalucia. This special event offers the opportunity to taste and sample the traditional food and drink of various countries including; Ireland, Germany, Cuba, France, Italy, Mexico, Sweden and many more! Each country has it’s own tent with themed music and decoration, a visit to the “Feria de los Pueblos” allows you to “travel the World” in just a couple of hours! The fair is taking place this week until Sunday evening.
Here’s a picture of me with Phonsie and Aileen. Their travel plans were also disrupted by the volcanic ash in the skies over Northern Ireland, but as you can see from the photo they weren’t exactly upset with the prospect of staying on the Costa del Sol a little longer than planned. The couple had no choice but to relax in the sun and enjoy the unexpected days of holiday at Sunset Beach Club! Click here to view their video comments!
Although the volcanic ash and flight cancellations have caused severe disruption to many tourists here on the Costa del Sol, there’s still plenty of guests here that are making the most of their unexpected extended holiday in the sun! Tom and his family are enjoying every extra minute here at Sunset Beach Club. See their video comments here!
Mmmmm..our new menus are now available online! Whether your looking for a poolside lunch, light bite, take away snack, great value set menus or fine á la carte dining, the Oasis Restaurant has got something for every tastebud! From Traditional Spanish Paellas to juicy flame-grilled Irish steaks, it’s no surprise that the restaurant here at Sunset Beach Club attracts not only hotel guests but also many local residents.
What a lovely start to the day! There was a nice surprise in the inbox of Claire, our Resort Services Manager, this morning, a bright a cheerful e-card from Jim and Susan McHugh. Our thanks goes out to them for taking the time to show how much they enjoyed their holiday and on behalf of all staff, we look forward to welcoming them again soon!
Isabel Luna is here singing live this weekend! The popular Spanish flamenco singer will be performing in the Panorama bar on Friday from 9pm onwards and then on Saturday from 9.30pm in our Moonlight Cabaret Theatre. With free entrance for all why not come by this easter and enjoy a taste of real Spain with some traditional flamenco music!
It’s Semana Santa! This week is holy week all over the world, but not many other countries celebrate with such style as Spain. Rather than Good friday and bank holiday Monday, here the festive days are Thursday and Friday where you see an incredible cultural display with all main cities hosting enormous parades that last the entire weekend. Malaga, Sevilla and Granada are all very popular over the Easter period, here in Malaga extra schedules of public transport will be added and the town will be overwhelmed once again with the hustle and bustle of visitors from all over Europe.
