The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved

Reviews from Google“This was our third stay at the Steigenberger Alcazar in four years, and once again it exceeded all of our expectations. The hotel is absolutely immaculate, with beautifully maintained grounds, spacious rooms, and fantastic facilities. The food is outstanding, with an excellent variety and consistently high quality throughout our stay. However, what truly makes this hotel so special is its people. Every single member of staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and their genuine warmth and professionalism are what keep bringing us back year after year. A very special thank you goes to Mo, our poolside waiter. Every morning he greeted us with the biggest smile, and his positive attitude instantly made our day. His attentive service, friendliness, and infectious personality are a real asset to the hotel, and he deserves to be recognised for the exceptional job he does. To all of the staff, thank you for making our holiday another unforgettable experience. You should all be incredibly proud of what you do. We are already looking forward to returning for our fourth visit! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a truly five-star holiday experience.”

The team beautifully decorated our table, surprised him with a birthday cake, and the entire staff gathered to sing and celebrate with us. It created such a warm and memorable atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented, the portions were generous, and everything we ordered was full of flavor. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable. A special thank you to Rabab and Ahmed Otb for their exceptional hospitality. They are two of the friendliest and most welcoming people we have ever met. We can’t wait to come back!”
