A Couple enjoys the new menu on the Terrace Restaurant Et par nyder den nye menu på The Terrace Restaurant New menus with something to appeal to everyone all day long. That s the promise from operations director Rafael Guerra and his team, who have rolled out new menus in the Oasis, Terrace and Panorama Bars. Rafael, who took up the post earlier in 2006 following spells in hotels in Guatemala, Costa Rica, the US and Switzerland, has opened a host of new outdoor bars to provide an expanded choice of food and drink options for members. Whether members are eating in our restaurants indoors, or in our fabulous new beachfront outlets, we will provide high quality food and beverages allday-long. A new poolside snack bar, opening soon, offers hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches and ice creams from 1pm to 7pm. It is complemented by two promenade beach bars the first serving ready-togo snacks, sandwiches and drinks, and the other, close to Torrequebrada, offering a more chic ambience with a select hot food menu served at small tables under a thatched pergola. There s more choice at lunchtime now too, with the Oasis, Terrace Restaurant offering a tasty range of great sandwiches complementing old favourites like pizzas and hamburgers, and the Panorama Bar offering great food and drink options for 2006 from 1pm to 4pm. The Terrace Restaurant outside the Oasis now offers another 50 seats, taking it up to more than 250 sittings a night: it is open earlier and later, from am to 2am. Our Terrace Restaurant has been a real hit with members, says Rafael, and is complemented by a full programme of live entertainment which has fuelled demand for more sittings and later opening times. Another novelty is packed lunch boxes (with iceboxes) available for members from the supermarket, where they can also purchase fresh bread and rolls and sweet cakes from the in-house bakery. Rafael says: We re sure that members will enjoy our new menus in our restaurants and our new bars on the promenade, but the challenge is to further enhance our reputation for great customer service and competitive prices too. Vores mad er bare den bedste! Nye menuer, som bare lokker hver dag. Det lover vores nye chef Rafael Guerra og hans medarbejdere, som har udarbejdet de nye menuer i Oasis, Terrace og Panorama Bar. Rafael, som startede hos os i starten af 2006, har arbejdet på hoteller i Guatemala, Costa Rica, USA og Schweiz. Rafael er nu også ansvarlig for de mange barer og restauranter har, hvor man vil tilbyde et udvidet sortiment af mad og drikke for vores medlemmer. Om man ønsker at spise indendørs på vores restaurant eller på en af vores barer på paseoen, kan vi tilbyde mad af bedste kvalitet samt et stort udvalg af drinks hele dagen. En ny snack bar ved poolen sælger hotdogs, burgers, sandwiches og is fra kl. 13 til 19. Derudover har vi to barer på vores paseo den første serverer fast food, sandwhiches og drikkevarer, den anden, tæt på Torrequebrada i smukke omgivelser, tilbyder varm mad ved små borde under en strådækket pergola. Ved frokosttid er udvalget i Oasis og Terrace nu udvidet. Der serveres lækre sandwhiches, pizza og hamburgers. Rafael Guerra, new Operation s Manager Rafael Guerra, den nye driftsleder I Panorama Bar kan man købe mad og drinks fra kl. 13 til 16. Terrace Restaurant har fået yderligere 50 siddepladser, mere end 250 pladser. Der åbnes tidligere og lukkes senere; fra 11:30 til 02:00.»Vores Terrace Restaurant er blevet en succes hos medlemmerne«, siger Rafael,»og desuden har vi levende underholdning der hver aften, som krævede flere siddepladser samt længere åbningstid.«en anden nyhed er at man kan købe færdigpakkede madpakker (med isboks) i supermarkedet, hvor man også kan købe friskbagt brød og kager fra vort eget bageri. Rafael siger:«vi håber vores medlemmer vil tage godt imod vores nye menuer i vores restauranter og nye barer på paseoen, men den virkelige udfordring er at udvikle vort gode ry for god kundeservice samt konkurrencedygtige priser.«beach Bar Strand Bar Breakfast in style More members are taking advantage of the great breakfast buffets five breakfasts for 30 euros! Every member should start the day with a hearty breakfast. It s the most important meal in the day So I decided to put Sunset Beach Club s buffet breakfast Mange af vores medlemmer benytter sig af vores tilbud på morgenmads buffetten 5 gange morgenmad for kun 30 euros. Alle burde starte dagen med et godt morgenmåltid. Det er det vigtigste måltid om dagen Så jeg besluttede at prøve den nye morgenmads buffet på to the test and having stayed in resorts all over the world I like to think I know what I m looking for. 9.00am and the Oasis was full. So much for beating the earlyrisers! The buffet breakfast was attractively laid out. There is lots of choice fresh fruit salad, cereals, yoghurts, croissants, local breads and piping hot bacon, sausage, and Members savour the choice at the resort s special breakfast buffet Mærk duften af morgenmadsbuffettens store udvalg Morgenmad med stil og da jeg har boet på mange forskellige resorts over hele verdenen, ved jeg, hvad jeg går efter. Kl og Oasis var fyldt op. Der var nogen som kom tidligt! Buffeten var meget nydeligt anrettet. Der er et stort udvalg frisk frugtsalat, corn-flakes, yoghurt, croissant, forskelligt lokalt brød varm bacon, pølse, røræg og spejlæg på de varme fade. scrambled or fried eggs on the hot plate counter. John and Margaret Whelan, from County Dublin were impressed! There s lots of choice and the hot food really is hot, unlike some other places we ve stayed in. I had to agree hot food on cold plates is one of the worst sins in the business. Young Kevin McDonald, from Scotland, seemed to have three breakfasts on one tray - all for John og Margaret Whelan fra Dublin området var imponerede!»der er et stort udvalg og den varme mad er varm, i modsætning til mange andre steder, vi har været. Varm mad på kolde fade er den største syn i den branche.«det så ud som om, at den unge Kevin McDonald fra Skotland havde hele tre gange morgenmad på sin bakke men det var kun til ham selv.»det er skønt,«siger han, Jeg kan himself! It s very nice, he said, I really like the choices of juice and pastries. The breakfast buffet is a hit with members Oasis staff are seeing up to 300 sittings between 8.30 and in high season giving even the latest of starters a chance to get down and eat! My verdict? I couldn t resist going back for more. And nice price too - five breakfasts for just 30 euros! lide det store udvalg af juice og kager.«morgenmads buffetten er et stort hit hos gæsterne mellem 8:30 og 11:30 kommer der ca. 300 mennesker til spisning hver dag i højsæsonen der er derfor også mulighed for syvsoverne at nå at få morgenmad! Min vurdering? Jeg kunne ikke modstå at gå tilbage efter mere. En fornuftig pris fem gange morgenmad for bare 30 euros! 4 5

More recently, Passion hits the bill on Friday nights. The sell-out shows are the brainchild of Steve Shappelle, writer of a number of top musicals and now producing what are arguably the best two shows on the Costa del Sol. Steve also performs, doing a class Sammy Davis Junior in the two-and-a-half hour Rat Pack show, which features 23 legendary tunes, and is backed by The Marbella Band of 10 and 3 Las Vegas showgirls.

Members love the trip back to the unforgettable halcyon days of hip and cool, with packed audiences for both shows every week of the year so far. The feedback has been great people come up to us after the shows and say we saw it in the West End, but we enjoyed it even more here Perhaps the most daring but arguable the most outstanding show has been the recently launched Passion experience with the renown Flamenco dancer, Rosi de Alva.

Steve optræder som Sammy Davis Junior i det to-og-enhalv time lange Rat Pack show, som indeholder 23 af de gamle numre bakket op af et 10-mands stort orkester fra The Marbella Band og 3 Las Vegas show-girls. The Magical Musicals er ligeså populært. Cats, Chicago, Oklahoma, Evita, Oliver, Phantom of the Opera og West Side Story er blandt de musicals, som hypnotiserer publikummet.

We ve been here for 12 years now, say Becci and Robert Boyd, and we ve come a long way from providing just pool, sauna and jacuzzi facilities, he says. With more members than ever before, the 10-strong team is able to offer many more activities, particularly in the aerobics studio. The installation of the wooden parquet studio three years ago proved an instant hit and now almost 30 hourly classes from yoga, step and tone to circuit and stretch, spinbike, aquafit and power dumbbell, run throughout the week. Our pilates classes are reckoned to be the best on the coast, says Robert, and we have started aqua babies which introduces younger tots to the water, another first for the area - and proving popular too. Classes cater for all ages and tastes, says Robert, and we are adding new ones all the time, like modern dance, jazz and Irish dance classes, and of course, the ever popular salsa classes, says Becci. The leisure centre recently underwent a new refurbishment. New initiatives include a body fat testing desk, as well as Wellness Weekends where clients can come and sample the resort s accommodation, dining, leisure and spa facilities. We need to stay at the forefront of our game and not rest on our laurels, as there s competition springing up on the coast all the time, says Becci, we look forward to welcoming many more members back to Boyd s in 2006/7. Seafront promenade now has its very own seafront promenade. A new walkway, which links east Benalmádena to Torrequebrada, has been completed, landscaped with more than 200 palms, street lamps and wooden benches. The centrepiece of the development which marks the final phase of the coastal project has two beautifully crafted Polynesian-style beach bars. One offers ready-to-go snacks and drinks, while the second, closer to Torrequebrada, is a stylish, chill-out bar. Mark Wardell, General Manager, said: Without a doubt, we have a unique facility on the beach it is more akin to a Californian-style operation which will be a great addition to Benalmádena. The development includes two nine-hole mini-golf course circuits, as well as a football pitch, petanque range and kids playground. Pedal boats and canoes are available for hire from the beach bars and a scuba school offers diving lessons. There is secure, barrier parking for up to 220 cars, with special discounts for members. Boyd s Leisure Club ser frem til at vores medlemmer og gæster er sunde og i fin form i 2006 med et stort nyt program for såvel unge som ældre.»vi har nu været her i 12 år,«siger Becci og Robert Boyd,»og vi er kommet langt siden starten med kun pool, sauna og jacuzzi,«siger han. Med det store antal medlemmer vi har nu er det muligt for os og vore 10 instruktører at tilbyde flere aktiviteter specielt i aerobics klassen. Det var helt rigtigt at få lagt det nye parketgulv for tre år siden. Vi har nu 30 hold fra yoga, step, stræk, cykling, vand-fitness samt håndvægte i løbet af hele ugen.»vores pilate hold er de bedste på kysten,«siger Robert,» og vi har også startet hold for små Classes continue to fill at Boyd s Fitness Centre Aktive hold i gang i Boyd s Fitness Centre Boyd s sætter fitness i første række børn, så de bliver fortrolige med det våde element, i øvrigt som de første her i området. Det er meget populært.holdene tilfredsstiller ønsker for alle aldre og smag,«og vi åbner stadig nye hold som f.eks. moderne dans, jazz og irsk dans og selvfølgelig den meget populære salsa dans,«siger Becci. Fitness centret gennemgik for nylig en gennemgribende renovering. Et nyt tiltag er en fedme test samt en wellness week-end, hvor kunderne kan nyde resortets faciliteter, spise, slappe af og gå i spa pool.»vi vil gerne gå forrest i vores branche og ikke hvile på laurbærrene, da konkurrencen er stor her på kysten,«siger Becci,»vi glæder os til at byde endnu flere nye medlemmer velkommen til Boyd s i 2006/7.«Mayor, Enrique Bolin officially opens the boardwalk Den officielle åbning af den nye paseo ved borgmester Enrique Bolin California comes to Spain...

Midt i dette nye område som markerer den endelige afslutning af dette kyst projekt er der placeret to meget smukke strandbarer i polynesisk stil. Den ene tilbyder ta med snacks og drikkevarer, mens den anden, som ligger tættest på Torrequebrada, er en stilfuld svalende bar.

Norway s fjords and glaciers have a certain winter wonderland charm about them, but after a few days of two metres of snow and temperatures of minus 25 degrees, a lot of Scandinavian people like us want to flock to the south in search of some sun. Oscar, a retired building engineer, and Kersti, a retired primary school teacher, first came to Spain 15 years ago. We had travelled the world, but liked the best with its lovely heated pool, restaurants and bars, we really have found THE place where would like to settle down. Kersti says the resort caters very well for its owners with great activities like shooting, boule, Kersti Skjorten og Oscar Nymo kalder deres andet hjem. Vi har nærmest adopteret resortet og kommer her I seks måneder fra oktober til marts hvert år for at undslippe den værste del af den norske vinter, siger Oscar. De norske fjorde og bræer er et meget charmerende vinterlandskab, men efter flere dage med 2 meter sne og minus 25 grader flygter mange skandinaver ligesom os til syden for at få lidt sol.
