Our Community Manager’s (Justin) trip to Sierra Nevada…
Last weekend I took my family on a day trip to Sierra Nevada. The kids had been bugging me for weeks that they wanted to go and see the snow, so after quickly checking the weather forecast (didn’t want to drive all the way up the mountain to find that the ski station was closed due to bad weather) we decided to head out on Saturday morning.
The beauty of Sierra Nevada is that it’s just a couple of hours drive from Benalmádena. We left at 8:00am and – after a short breakfast stop – arrived in Europe’s most southern ski resort at around 11:00am. (more…)

The city of Malaga is famous for its extensive cultural attractions, and in particular, for its intriguing collection of museums.
The Picasso and Thyssen Museums are, perhaps, the most well known; however, hidden in the back streets of the cities historic centre, we can find real treasures such as the Museum of Glass and Cristal and the Dolls House Museum. The latter is a recent discovery which we want to tell you about in this post.
Located in Calle Alamos (nº32) in the cities historic centre, this small museum allows visitors to enter the beautiful world of miniatures which in some cases date back several centuries. (more…)

We’re now well into the half-term holidays and for the next two weeks (allowing for UK and Irish school holidays) we’ve got some great shows and entertainment in our Moonlight Bar; and they’re all free 🙂
The fun starts tonight with the – ever popular – tribute to the ‘The Lion King’; a great show for the whole family to enjoy. If you’re looking for something to keep the little ones amused, we highly recommend you see this show!
The show starts at 8:30pm but there’s also a mini disco at 7:30pm which is another favourite amongst the little ones. If you can’t make it tonight, there will be another showing next Tuesday 19th February at 8:30pm. (more…)

Those of you who have stayed at Sunset Beach Club will know that, until today, our main pool area boasted two large exterior pools and a small kids pool.
For obvious reasons, this is the most popular area of the hotel, and as such gets pretty busy during the warmer months. We get many families with young children staying with us, especially during the school holidays, and the small kiddies pool was getting a little overcrowded.
We’ve had quite a few guests make suggestions about improving the kids pool area and just to prove that we do listen, we took advantage of the quieter winter months to build a brand new kiddies pool!
As you can see in the photo above, the new pool even has its own ‘mushroom’ fountain which will undoubtedly be a favourite spot for kids and parents to hide from the sizzling rays of the summer sun 🙂
And that’s not the only surprise we’ve got in stall for you… our Facilities Manager and his team are busy making improvements to the hotel; in the next few weeks we’ll reveal another exciting project we’re undertaking.

The fun and entertainment of Carnival is about to kick off here on the Costa del Sol.
Carnival season is popular in many of the towns and cities located up and down the coast but in this post, we’re going to focus on two cities: Benalmadena (for obvious reasons) and the amazing Málaga Carnival which is probably the most spectacular and colourful of all!
Although we refer to it as ‘Carnival Week’ it actually goes on for a little longer… 10 days. There are literally hundreds of activities and events taking place during these festivities; below, we’ve highlighted some of the most popular you’ll want to look out for in each of the cities. (more…)
