"Not worth the price"

2.0

The quality of the rooms at this historic hotel are that of a motel six panted pink. The exterior is beautiful but is a veneer. Your money is better spent at more modern beach front hotels.

"Pool closed! Service was no good"

4.0

I wanted to love it! Unfortunately the Don Cesar fell short. First they were filming a movie which closed one of the two pools. This of course made the one pool very crowded. They also had part of the outdoor spaces closed as well as section of the beach. NOT WHAT I WAS PAYING FIR! Their staff needs training on service. Their general tone is unwelcoming and somewhat disrespectful. The food is mediocre at best. Which I could get past if it was served with a smile. I had requested a call upon check out from F&B about the unprofessional management at the pool area, but a week later no one has called or reached out. Rooms & bathrooms are tiny. If I were selecting a similar hotel again I would choose another option. On another note The spa was good!

"One Unforgettable 😍"

10.0

The Don Cesar is absolutely breathtaking. Its beauty and long history spark imagination and wonder. No words can describe how monumental this experience has been! Simply sitting and looking at the Pink Palace is calming, meditative, and unforgettable. Each staff member clearly has a connection, rather it sharing a personal experience, the Don’s history, or a genuine desire to make one’s stay pleasurable. This trip will stick with me for a lifetime! Thank you for allowing me to share a piece of history! ❤️

"Great Stay!"

10.0

We really had such a great and relaxing time at the Don Cesar. Some of the reviews mentioned smaller rooms, but ours was a corner unit and was great. We loved the morning yoga on the beach, the pool and just lounging Oceanside. The staff went beyond and every single person was kind and helpful. The yoga instructors were amazing and Katie at the pool was truly great. We want to come back soon, and love this little slice of paradise on St. Pete. Also the surrounding area was great, we had a great time going to local restaurants and using the Freebee rides to get around and get suggestions of where to go from local residents. Food at the hotel is great too, we loved Andy’s for a morning coffee and sandwich. Thank you for a great stay!

"Timeless Elegance at the Pink Palace"

10.0

Located on the beautiful Gulf of America, this hotel offered so much. The historic hotel harkens back to such a glamorous and elegant time that is sorely missing in so many hotels these days. The rooms were completely comfortable with a lovely art decor feel. The restaurants offered fine dining no matter which one you chose. The hotel staff went out of their way to make our trip memorable including a movie being filmed while we were there. The fine dining, lovely access to the beach, the first class spa and the staff ensure I will be returning very soon!
