We had a wonderful stay at the Don CeSar! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, the location is perfect, and the beach is spectacular. Everything about our experience was enjoyable, from the atmosphere and amenities to the friendly and welcoming staff. Perfct beach view from the room that tgey keep very clean. The iconic pink palace really makes the stay feel special, and we loved every minute of our time there. We would definitely return and highly recommend the Don CeSar to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable stay in St. Pete Beach!

Its History and location to the beach Did not get checked until 5:30 and had a restless 8 year old with us. We then did not receive the call we were told we would get when the room was ready. A rather expensive room for what you get and the buffet breakfast was cold. Se we decided to leave Saturday afternoon rather than stay another night.

The Don CeSar is definitely a beautiful, iconic property with a lot of history and charm. The location and overall atmosphere are wonderful, but unfortunately, our experience didn’t fully live up to the expectations or the price point. Some areas felt dated, and there were a few disappointments with the amenities and service that could have been handled better. The staff was generally pleasant, and we still enjoyed parts of our stay, but for a resort of this reputation and cost, I expected a little more attention to detail and consistency. Overall, a nice experience, but definitely room for improvement especially on the premises

really enjoyed our stay at this unique lovely resort

Nicole at the lobby bar. It was her bday but she made us feel special. Sandy at the shops was so kind to us. We did visit with Sandy a few times. Rob from the beach hut took care of us on our first day at the beach. Also the young man with curly brown hair. He took our picture on the swing. Diana, Hannah & Taylor who served us at the restaurant. Our housekeeper was also so friendly. I didn’t get her name. We had a great time at the beach. Thank you for creating memories for us to treasure.
