New Years Eve Party

Looks like all who saw in the New Year with us here at Sunset Beach Club had a great time! The restaurant team did a great job decorating the Oasis Restaurant for the occasion and ensuring that all guests had a fantastic New Year’s Eve experience; Shout out to the team in the kitchens who prepared some delicious food for the occasion!

This year we were lucky enough to get Ricky Lavazza to provide the entertainment for the evening and, as usual, he didn’t disappoint…Judging by the photos, there was a fair bit of boogieing going on!

Here’s a few photos taken during the celebrations:
