The Christmas Party held in honour of the Mallorca Marriott Son Antem Golf Resort & Spa Associates was blessed with a great atmosphere, delicious food and great music.

The Christmas Party took place last week in the Son Antem Ball Room. An additional table had to be set up because so many associates came to the party. There was a fantastic festive ambience and the kitchen team prepared a delicious buffet for the occasion.

After the Hotel Director’s speech, awards were presented to associates who did an especially great job over the last few months. The Associates of the Year were also honoured. Afterwards, the long-awaited raffle took place. The Executive Team drew lots and presented the prizes. Some of the most coveted prizes were a TV, weekend hotel stays at European destinations and a central heating device (even Mallorca gets cold weather!)

The less formal part of the evening started with DJ Rafa, who put on some music and got people on the dance floor. What time the party actually ended, we really do not know.

To improve animal welfare, it takes a lot of commitment and animal love. The Son Antem cat project is a positive example of animal protection which depends on continuous donations.

The Son Antem Resort used to be farm land with hunting ground and animals. Many animals are therefore still around, especially the cats. To control the cat population in the resort and improve their quality of life, the cat project was born.

 Mr. & Mrs. Déak, Marriott Vacation Club Owners, and Katrin Gebhardt created this project.

Katrin passes by every day to the 10 feeding stations in the complex and to make sure they get the medication they need. Mr. & Mrs. Déak support her every time they visit Son Antem. In addition, the SOS-Animal Association in Calvià, supported by a non-profit organization “Europäischer Tier- und Naturschutz” (ETN), is co-operating with the castration of the animals.

This project is entirely financed by donations. Resort guests can support the project with donations to guarantee the success and continuity. Collection boxes are placed at the hotel reception and at the cash point by the Market Place.

This summer the Mallorca Marriott Son Antem Golf Resort & Spa’s summer restaurant, Oh-Chaa, has been offering a delicious menu composed of typical Thai dishes.

Oh-Chaa is a small but chic restaurant (only 8 tables) located inside a marquee and surrounded by the Son Antem gardens. The Chefs cook in an open air kitchen and all the guests can see how they prepare all the exquisite Thai dishes. These are some of the appetizers:  fried jumbo prawns, papaya salad with coconut and typical Thai chicken skewers.

I myself had the pleasure of dining at this Thai Restaurant last week and I have to say that all the dishes were spectacular, both from the point of view of taste and presentation. I strongly recommend you have a meal at Oh-Chaa if you are coming to the Mallorca Marriott Son Antem Resort.

I would also like to take this opportunity, to encourage the Son Antem Resort staff in charge of the restaurant program for next summer to read this post and to introduce more Thai dishes at Oh-Chaa Restaurant next year. They are simply delicious and not to be missed!

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle has become an essential to most of us. One way to keep fit is to work out regularly at the gym. Our new cardiovascular machines are equipped with TVs and I-links which make them easier to use.

The gym at the Son Antem Spa in Mallorca is equipped with new cardiovascular machines from Life Fitness. The attached TV screens allow you to connect your USB, iPhone or iPod. The machines provide programmes to find the right workout session for your level. In addition, you can take advantage of a virtual trainer who will guide you through the chosen programme which might be a bit more entertaining. Another advantage is that you can select between different languages and national measurements for example kilometres or miles.

Basically, you can use the machines if you want to concentrate on fat burning or on cardiovascular strengthening. For fat burning your pulse rate target should be about 65 to 75% for at least 1 hour where as for cardio training your heart rate target is from 76 to 85% for as long as you can.

The best way to reach your goals is to come in to the gym and experience the machines and all their abilities for yourself, together with healthy tips from our personal trainers.

Every year the Mallorca Marriott Son Antem Resort organizes an American Independence Day Party. This year it took place on the terrace of our Restaurant El Olivar, where our guests could enjoy a traditional BBQ dinner and musical performances by “Daniyella” with her Country Sound and “Luis Javaloya & Friends” with their Latin Fusion.  There was also an exhibition of more than 10 burning wheel Harley Davidson motorbikes in the gardens and a big firework display finale.

We interviewed a Mallorcan resident who was at the party:

Marriott:  What did you like the most?

A.Bibiloni: The food, there was a lot of variety and everything was delicious!

M.: Do you think that there should be more of this kind of party?

A.B.: Yes, they are a good way to get people to come and get to know the resort and learn something about American customs at the same time. This type of event should be more publicized.

M.: What stood out about the evening?

A.B.: It was quite spectacular, like everything Americans do, but what stood out the most for me was the great atmosphere amongst the staff and how comfortable and welcome they made the guests feel. My wife experienced this first hand. She stood beside one of the Harley bikes for me to take a picture of her and burnt her leg on the exhaust pipe which was still hot. We asked the waiter for some ice and the team not only brought us ice but also a special ointment for her to put on her burn.

M.: Will you come again next year?

A. B.: Of course; in fact I am going to try to be free on the 4^th of July so I can come again and hopefully bring some friends with me too.

M.: Thank you very much for your time!

A.B.:  My pleasure.
