It is refreshing to see there are still businesses where customer care is the utmost priority. There were a few hiccups in our one night stay due to recent recovery efforts from hurricanes. All staff from start to finish were phenomenal. Regarding resolving our issues Amanda and Jessica at the front desk were genuinely empathetic and offered us exceptional resolutions. The amenities and overall quality of this resort are outstanding! We felt at home during our visit and the staff seemed like family. You can stay many places to enjoy the Gulf Coast of Florida but The Don Cesar will make it feel like a step back in time when life was simpler and people were more caring.

I could not say enough about this hotel. Everything was amazing! The staff were beyond friendly, helpful & entertaining. Kolby, at the beach rental gave us the full story of the hotel. Highly recommended, I wish I could remember everyone’s name to give them a thank you!

The service is amazing especially the worker bell. Breakfast was good with but expensive with no other place in walking distance. The lunch and dinner was very yummy. The beach is the best part with no arguing over seats and food on beach. Plenty of space and very soft sand.
