We got great service on the beach from Van who set up our chairs and towels and took care of things for us as we were getting started with the day. Beautiful hotel and beaches with great service all around. We’ve been coming here for over 10 years and it’s great every time!

This hotel was elegant clean and employees were friendly and helpful. Rooms were decorated beautifully a bit on the smaller side but had everything you need. Penny at the lobby bar was so friendly and made amazing drinks esp chocotini ! It is still getting renovated from hurricane but one pool was open and they had a little shop set up in a room. Gym was nice ! Breakfast was expensive in restaurant but very attentive service and fancy decor. I would love to go back when it is in full swing !

Finally got a chance to stay at this iconic Florida landmark. Booked a weekend stay to celebrate an anniversary & end of a busy work season. Easy & friendly check in process & although our room wasn’t ready we had full access to the resort amenities. We set up on the beach loungers (umbrella included) while we waited for our room. We were provided with attentive service on the white sand beach - water was clear - just the perfect location on the Gulf coast. The Don had only reopened (since the 2024 Hurricanes) a couple of weeks before our visit so there were still a few areas of construction happening but it didn’t bother us. The food & drinks were delicious. The service was excellent. Our balcony room was perfectly located on the southeast corner giving the best views of the intercostal, city, skyway & peek of the gulf. Took in an afternoon facial at Spa Ocena which was relaxing (I even fell asleep). The stay was expensive but it was worth the experience. I would like to come back with my daughters for a girls weekend. The pink lady did not disappoint🩷

The Don is a must visit for my wife and I at least once a year. We just returned home yesterday from a 5 day stay and as always, the experience was wonderful. Even though the Don is still trying to complete the rebuild since the hurricane the stay was top shelf. We look forward to coming back soon when everything is back to normal.

Absolute must stay, you feel like royalty as soon as you walk through the front door. From the elegance of the decor to the fragrance drifting all through the halls of the hotel. You can’t help but feel like you’re surrounded by perfection. Don’t pass up the chance to pamper yourself if you are in the St Pete area. If you’ve never visited, start planning your trip TODAY!
