Always a great time there

We recently stayed at The Don CeSar for my wife’s bday weekend and had a wonderful experience. The iconic “Pink Palace” combines historic charm with modern luxury, and the beachfront location is hard to beat. The staff was welcoming and attentive throughout our stay, the property was beautifully maintained, and the beach and pool areas were outstanding. The rooms were comfortable, and the Gulf views and sunsets were absolutely breathtaking. Whether relaxing by the pool, enjoying the beach, or simply taking in the atmosphere, it was a memorable getaway. We look forward to returning in the future.

Beautiful property. Great service
-
Five stars!!!!! One of the best of the best for relaxation and beach experience!
-
I enjoyed the stay in every way except one. The food offerings were not desirable and the few things I had were extremely expensive for what they were...which IMO was inferior. We chose to dine off property or order food from outside sources. It would have been nice to have food selectons on site. Felt like someone was tryng to be creative in the kitchen without any idea of complimentary ingredients and flavour.

Wonderful place. Will definitely be back again.

Beautiful property with great staff and beach views.

Final straw was trying to go to dinner our final night being sat quickly…but then no service for over 15min. Ended up leaving and just ordering room service. The room service team was my best staff interaction the entire 4 days Overall very bummed and would recommend staying at a different property on this beach. Sadly not worth the “luxury” price tag

The staff was incredibly helpful from early check in , late check out, information on places to visit, where to eat and the amenities of the resort.

Multiple accessible restaurants. High end and affordable option with a convenient store in hotel. Overall great place to stay. Little pricey for what you get but if you want historic/iconic and a little away from the busy beach tourist spots. This is your place. FYI I live here about 15 min from hotel and have been to many resorts and beaches in the area.

Perfect weekend getaway! We are coming back fully recharged. The service at pool and beach was amazing. The hotel is located in a private beach zone and there was mainly hotel guests at the beach, no other umbrellas blocking and crowding the sands! Will definitely come back!
-
Everything was good
-
Room was not ready until nearly 6pm though, which is bad.
-
I have one word, WOW!!! You need to go and experience this amazing place for yourself!!!!!!
-
Excellent experience
-
But the kitchen and food not even average. It is not only the variety, but what has been served and how it was served was unacceptable.
-
Clean room. Great coffee and sundries shop. Excellent beach and pool amenities!
-
Beautiful resort
