Beautiful and well maintained, poolside service was exceptional, All the food choices we had at Society Table and pool was excellent. Poolside service was great and attentive! Would like to see better service at Society, examples include, dont reach iver my dinner plate to refill my water, anticipate diner needi g a steak knife based on order, do t carry dirty dishes to a new table seating to tell us you will be right with us. The food at society table was amazing, chefs kiss for sure! Libby bar also very nice! One final thought, room needs a luggage rack! Placing luggage on the floor is lame!

We really enjoyed our beach, pool and spa time at the Don CeSar! Breakfast Table is fantastic. The Sunset Salutation is a must do. And while you are in St, Pete, be sure to visit the Dali Museum for an outing!

This is an iconic hotel, great location, beautiful beach, great staff. The pool area is very nice, and the pool bar staff are exceptionally nice guys. The main bar is a very nice ambiance but not cheap! In our opinion, the restaurant menus are a bit random, but that’s our opinion. We would visit again

Incredible experience, from the two outstanding front desk Nat and Andrew to the outside pool personnel. Rooms were great. Hotel very clean. Now the not so great… Vallet personal (Scott) rude and unfriendly! Expressed concern with no acknowledgement from mgmt! Lunch at Society Restaurant less than a quality experience, unfortunately the only option for lunch….

Checked into hotel and was given very little information. Our room overlooked the road and the building site. Was woken by noise every morning by workmen and disturbed in the evening by road noise. For the cost per night this was just not satisfactory. Steps lead to the entrance so when travelling with 3 toddlers 2 of which in strollers it’s not ideal. Only once did staff assist carrying them up the stairs. Noticed afterwards that when Americans checked in they were given lots of information, very accommodating, balls for children etc. Staff would just appear to help them with bags, cases etc. We were not given the same service. Not sure if it’s because we are from the UK but could most definitely sense we were treated differently. Cost of restaurant and drinks was extortionate! We wasn’t told about the free shuttle to nearby restaurants until day 4 when my husband went to guest services to book a restaurant. Pool area is nice, however 1 attendant was quite rude when we asked for umbrella to be moved, food in restaurants was nice but not a big menu selection. Great gym. Had to stay another night as child was really unwell and the room again was by road and building site so woken early again from noise. Requested crib which had no sheet! Requested kettle but they didn’t know what a kettle was! Was very very very disappointed, the cost was astronomical for this trip, we should have felt like royalty but didn’t, it was just not good value at all and I’m left wanting another holiday.
