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!

There is still some work going on as they try to rebuild from the hurricane last summer. But overall, this stay was very good. I want to give a shout out to Julian Vasquez the lead concierge. He went out of his way to make sure that my wife and I were able to get the restaurant we wanted to celebrate our anniversary. He also had a surprise for us when we returned to our room with a box of chocolate and rose petals spread on the bed with a nice card. He made our stay a special time for us.

Exceptional service, amenities, with a clean and uncrowded beach with beach-side service. Pool area was tidy and service was also top-notch. Restaurant and in-room dining was great. Great location to catch the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico. Highly recommend, if traveling to the St. Pete’s Beach area.

This was our 3rd visit in 4 years and it keeps getting better. The Don is SO beautiful and in such a great location with SO much to do nearby. What really makes The Don above and beyond is the staff. In particular, Katie and Jackie at the pool. They are simply the best! As I mentioned we have only been there a few times over the span of 4 years and they remember us, always greet us with a smile and are just simply enjoyable to be around. It's as if we're regulars. If they ever have a bad day you sure wouldn't know it. Both are some of the nicest people you will ever encounter on your vacation, or more importantly, in life. BIG shout out to Katie and Jackie! The best around!
