The Don CeSar

Our family of four covering 3 generations celebrated Thanksgiving at the brunch in the 5th floor. We arrived early for a pre drink at the main floor Rowe Bar and found 2 large TVs, a cool puck game and a relaxed vibe. Indoor seating is acessible tables, high tops, and bar seating with out door seating with blocked view of beach and pool Before we could even get to our table, JEFF served a beverage with lid to our little one, setting the tone for his attebntice service. The brunch in King Charles room includes multiple meats like roast turkey, ham, duck, and tons of seafood like PEI mussels, huge prawns, Florida ceviche, and more. We passed on the Benedict station, omelette station to go for charcuterie and amazing assortment of muffins, breads, all markers to notify if nut free, gluten free, dairy free, Mimosas were included Mostly accessible restrooms with dedicated stalls in women’s and nd s restrooms with grab bars and 3ftx 5 ft space except in some restrooms due to historic considerations.

The Don! An amazing historical Hotel... Top notch... The team and even guest are very friendly here... We all fly in from everywhere to meet up here for Thansgiving.. Best view ever.. From the gulf, looking back at the hotel or from the hotel looking out at their fantastic beach.. And no doubt has to be one of the top 10 places in Florida for a family to chill and hangout in style...bit of recent history....The Don...got hit by two powerful Hurricaines..Helene and Milton... And like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, and simply in awe, the place just keeps coming back Stronger and Better!!!

Awesome staff, whom are enthusiastic professionals, great food and shopping options, beautiful pools, beach is perfect!

Was really surprised when we saw all the great new looks of the Don. Pool is terrific New looks and food and service was terrific. Then while we were at the pool about twenty biker looking people came in tattoos, bolt's wacko hair and ruined the whole vibe. I asked them what was going on and they told me resort pass allows them to get All the stuff and service for the cheap. I drove seven hours to get away from circus people.

The recent renovations have brought this iconic hotel to our top 5 favorite destinations. It is clean and fresh, the staff was attentive and professional, and it had an active but relaxing vibe. We saw many families here too. So nice to walk out to the beach for walks. We highly recommend it!
