Goodbye John!

John with his plaque...

Last Friday was our colleague  John  Smistkam’s last day of work at Sunset Beach Club 🙁 Why? Because he has reached that wonderful age when it’s time to take a step back and enjoy life…Retirement!

John has been a key part of the team here at Sunset Beach Club for more than 15 years. Working in our Travel Club and more recently on our Golf & Leisure Desk helping guests with all their local information needs – his outgoing personality and friendliness will be sorely missed by guests and colleagues alike!

Our Tag Line Competition Produced These Great Entries…

A couple of weeks ago we ran a competition on our Facebook page which proved very popular. Fans were asked to come up with a Tag Line for Sunset Beach Club and I’m pleased to say that we got some very good entries; so good, in fact, that we’ve decided to feature them all here is this blog post as a tribute to all those who took the time to enter.

The competition required fans to vote for their favourite entries and the top 3 would go into a final selection with the winner being chosen by our General Manager. (more…)

Our Animation Team Rehearsing for the Dirty Dancing Show

If you’ve been to Sunset Beach Club in the high season summer months you’ll know we put on some great shows in our Moonlight Theatre.

At least two of the weekly shows are performed by our talented animation team! Not only do they perform in the shows but they are also responsible for all the choreography, costumes, decoration… absolutely everything!

As you can probably imagine,putting  each of these shows together requires an enormous amount of work and effort. The animation team spend hours and hours rehearsing and perfecting their shows to ensure that our guests get to see top class performance – judging by the incredible feedback we get, the team have done a great job 🙂

Here´s a short video clip we filmed as the animation team prepared for this summers hit tribute musical: Dirty Dancing.

Dive Centre at Sunset Beach Club gets 5 star Dive Resort Rating from PADI

5 star PADI dive centre in BenalmadenaScubaTours, the dive centre located within the Sunset Beach Club facilities has recently been awarded the 5 star Dive Resort rating from PADI. This fantastic onsite facility was already a registered PADI dive centre but the new distinction serves as recognition of the courses which have been taught over recent years.

Our dive centre has certified many divers in the popular Open Water Dive and Advanced Diver qualifications; however, it has also taught many specialty courses such as photography, wreck diving (in nearby Gibraltar), search and recovery, underwater navigation and many more. This is fantastic news for Sunset Beach Club and Scuba Tours as guests who stay with us and want to take a scuba diving course can feel confident that they are receiving instruction from a registered and recommended official PADI dive centre (we’re actually listed on the PADI website :-)).

But the good news does not stop there. On the 1st November 2012 Scuba Tours will receive the rating of PADI 5 star IDC Resort. This is in recognition of the facilities they can offer to run an IDC (Instructor Development Course). This is fantastic as this will be the only IDC centre in the area that offers full instructor training facilities on site: Accommodation, conference rooms, swimming pool, storage and an open water dive site just metres away.
