We have been going to the Don CeSar for 15 years. We like to refer to this as “our place“. We absolutely love it. The beach is not crowded and the beauty of the Pink Palace is unmatched. We have noticed over the years that some things have changed for the better, and some things for the worse, but overall, the  integrity of the Don has remained intact. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had a wonderful time. Swim out in the water a bit and turn around….WOW, what a sight. Beach was interesting with many different sea shells and sand dollars. We arrived early and were checked tight into our room. Very beautiful place to stay. The pink hotel delivered on all our expectations. Thanks Don CeSar.

This place is amazing... The staff was great. I love that you can walk right to the beach from the hotel. You really don't have to leave the hotel, they have all you need inside.

Don Cesar has European architects like the cattle with the beautiful view of 2 swimming pools and landscaping, few steps out to white sand beach and clear ocean water . We loved to strolling along the shoreline early in the morning. It’s fun just seeing fishes , small clams and sea birds. We were welcomed with 2 glasses of champagne when check in at front desk, every employees were friendly, very helpful . Room was very clean, we booked king size bed , mattress was very comfortable. There are many amenities and shopping plus restaurants bars. Thank so much for memorial trip in our life , it must say anytime we think of St. Peter Beach , we think of Don Cesar.
