Lorna & Derek’s Wedding

I have just printed off Lorna & Dereks’s personalized wedding menus and set them out on the tables up in our Sala Malaga. The couple will be getting married later on today and then returning to the hotel to celebrate their wedding reception later on it the evening. On behalf of all of the staff here at Sunset Beach Club, we would like to wish them all the best!

San Juan

Tomorrow night, 23rd June 2009 “Noche de San Juan” will be celebrated! Starting when the sun goes down, everybody will head to the beach for fireworks, bonfires and barbeques. The tradition is to jump over the bonfire and run into the sea at midnight, to cleanse your sins, so why not join the locals for the biggest beach party of the year!
