March 2015 – Crown Resorts Blog

Welcome to our Club Talk

It is my pleasure to welcome you to this first Club Talk publication of 2015.
Having had time to recover from the Christmas and New Year festivities, it is pleasing to report that 2015 has started brightly for the Club.
Apartment upgrade work is underway, some communal areas have been subject to improvements and the weather has been fabulous.
We now look forward to the Spring and the general increase in levels of occupation as we head towards Easter and into the high season.
Enjoy reading this Club Talk. On behalf of all of the team here at the Club, we wish you a fantastic 2015 and look forward to welcoming you to the Club on your next visit.

Crown Resorts continues its commitment to train its staff

Recently a training course was organised for members of the Club maintenance team in order to improve their communication skills in English. This will help them in many aspects of their work, including how to better explain to a guest or member the rational for any work or repair to be or being undertaken.

TRIPADVISOR comments:

“Fine resort”
Reviewed 30 December 2014

A fine resort which was very comfortable with spacious accomodations and plenty of facilities. Sandwiched by Fuengirola, Malaga and Marbella. Calahonda county was nonetheless a nice little community. Absolutely recommended for a cultural holiday. Beaches are a good distance away otherwise.

“grandkids loved it here”

Reviewed 5 September 2014
“Grandkids loved it, lots of stairs to our apartment on top floor but we cheated sometimes and used the lift. Shops and places to eat and drink within walking distance but car needed to explore, quite hilly. Entertainment on at night which kids liked to dress up for and join in pool was favourite every day. Staff friendly and helpful. No air cond but fans and clever use of windows curtains and doors worked fine.”
