“The Don Cesar certainly makes an impression, with its iconic pink façade and prime beachfront location offering immediate access to St. Pete Beach; inside, I found the boutique shops and distinct architecture create an immersive experience that blends history with modern leisure. Though some may find aspects of the hotel showing its age, the attentive service, particularly at the outdoor bars and pools, enhances the stay. It's a promising blend of classic charm and coastal relaxation.”

The Don CeSar is a beautiful and historic hotel with a lovely beach that enhances the overall experience. However, my stay was marred by some frustrating service issues, especially during check-in and with the room amenities. While the staff's positivity shone through during my trip, the price seemed to outweigh the overall experience due to some inconsistencies.

I stayed at the Don CeSar for our anniversary and while the historic charm and beach access were impressive, there were several downsides to consider. The room was decent but a bit cramped for the price, especially with construction noise outside. The service was inconsistent, and while some staff were accommodating, our dining experience was frustrating and impacted our overall enjoyment. Overall, the hotel has its merits, but be prepared for a few hiccups during your stay.

Our stay at The Don Cesar was mostly wonderful, with breathtaking beachfront views and a lively atmosphere that made for a great getaway. While the service at the beach was a letdown, as our orders were mishandled, the hotel itself is beautiful and the staff inside were accommodating. The dining experiences were particularly enjoyable, especially at Maritana Grill, where the service and food were top-notch. Overall, a memorable trip, but there's room for improvement in beach service.

Our trip to the hotel was a memorable experience. The beach was stunning, and the service from the beach staff made the day even better. Our interactions with Gregory at check-in were smooth, even when our room faced an initial issue. However, the dining experience could use some improvements due to slow service at times. Despite a minor hiccup with one elevator being out of service, we truly enjoyed our stay and would love to return soon.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The beautiful beach really enhanced my experience, but the overall service left a lot to be desired. While I enjoyed my time at the spa and the pool, the dining options were overpriced and service could use some improvement. I had high expectations given the cost of my stay, and I felt they didn't quite deliver on that front.
