Reviews for The Don CeSar
Historically beautiful
St Pete Beach is still recovering from the Hurricane but Don CeSar makes you forget it ever happened. The food and staff was amazing. The sunset over the Gulf was perfect almost every day and the beaches were awesome. If I had to be picky, I'd ask management to have one of the two pools adult only. I don't like cannonball pool water in my drinks, just saying. Would we go back? absolutely.

Lovely place to spend your vacation
Historical hotel with modern updates.recent renovation in 2023. great customer service. . Fantastic backyard overlooking white Sandy beach. Elevator to different floors is little tricky. We enjoyed our stay at Don Ce sat very much. It is expensive hotel but worth so one can return home with good memories.

Absolute Worst Hotel Experience Ever
Absolutely the worst. Had my hair torn out in the salon and food poising the same day.

A relaxing, pampered stay!
This is a top notch property in an outstanding location. The staff was wonderful, from the front desk folks to the valet parking attendants. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Food was wonderful and the pool area clean and inviting! A memorable trip for us…one we’d like to experience again.

Wasn’t what we were hoping for.
The positives: the front desk, wait service and guest service staff were all very friendly. The beach and pool areas were lovely and well maintained. The food was very good. It is wonderful that someone has saved this beautiful historic structure. The negatives: A king room with balcony and a partial ocean or bay view includes a view of the parking lot. One day we received no housekeeping and the next day they came after 5 pm. We were not in the room for the majority of these days. Since it is an historic hotel, some will find the walls very thin. Our room had an extremely small bathroom. My advice to the management is to run the faucets in each room before a guest checks in because our sink backed up into our shower the night of our arrival and the sink faucet sprayed onto the counter. Both of these issues should have been noted and addressed by housekeeping before the room was released for check in.
