Can you tell me if the beach at Steigenberger Alcazar has sand or rocks? Is there an entry point from the shore?
10 January 2024
The beach is rocky, and swimming from the jetty is recommended. Sea shoes are advised for safety.

Loved by Steigenberger Alcazar Hotel guests
"The adults-only pool area is especially peaceful and relaxing, and the à la carte restaurants are simply outstanding (Lebanese is a must!)."
"The jetty was a great experience especially on the not so windy days where the extensive colourful fish species were easily seen without even having to get wet!"
"Swim-up room was great."

The staff were friendly. The grounds staff kept the gardens in great condition.
The mint tea varied wildly. One night, it tasted very nice with a great tea bag and plenty mint. The next night, I got hot water and a few mint leaves. Then the barman offered an English breakfast tea bag.
