The Don CeSar

I went on Location for a 3 day film shoot at the Hotel and had the opportunity to stay at the property. This is a historic property that just went through a 100 million dollar post hurricane restoration. The Art Deco beauty of the hotel is remarkable. The lobby bar is beautiful and serves great drinks in the afternoon as well as some great Wagyu sliders. The rooms are smaller as its an old hotel but they are beautifully appointed and comfortable. We traveled with our pets, (the hotel is pet friendly and you will end up on the 2nd floor which is their "pet floor") it's a $75/day pet fee. There is no stigma here about traveling with your pet, but I would recommend against it unless you have a small dog. The pool is beautiful and the beach access with lounge chairs and umbrellas included in your stay for free are well worth it. There is also food/beverage service on the beach at your chairs. The hotel is located centrally so you have easy access to many other bars and restaurants close by but do eat at the hotel if you want a great meal. We ate at the Society Table restaurant a few times and it never disappointed. The staff is awesome, friendly and helpful and I cannot wait to go back.

Great place 1st class all the way around. My only issue is a film is being made here for the week “The Statement” and access is restricted and we are being asked to accommodate the film not how it should work we should have been told about the film and restrictions around the property I would have not come this week. Sadly nothing offered as compensation. I have been asked by film people to move or not do something several times. Not how I would spend a vacation. Disappointed not informed prior!

This resort is fantastic! Great food, the service is excellent! The servers at the pools, bars and restaurants are top notch! The beach service was awesome! We loved the Easter brunch, so many options and the food was great. The hotel is clean and the renovated rooms were great! Although this is an older historic resort, they have done everything to bring it up to today's luxury resort standards!

This was a beautiful hotel! The sand was like white flour. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We rented a car but we did enjoy walking the beach to restaurants and bars in both directions.

This property has retained its beauty throughout the years. The property is clean and the staff pleasant. That said, there is not much around the property as it is out of the way a bit. This allows it to capitalize on convenience through its escalated pricing for even the most basic of amenities. Think of it more like a captive audience. The bathroom showed signs of wear and regardless of the time of day or night, the water pressure in the shower was barely enough to make it out of the shower head. The toilet was extremely close to the wall and would not allow sufficient clearance for a larger person to sit comfortably. The rooms air filter was completely clogged, well past a preventative maintenance change.

The resort is beautiful. This was our 5th stay through the last 8 years

The food was terrible and overpriced. We had breakfast and lunch and both were bad and extremely expensive. This time we only stayed 2 nights and glad we did that because we were able to explore other hotels that had smaller facilities but the food was incredible.

Very clean and comfortable

The booking was incorrect, I booked a oceanview when I got to my room it was scenery of roof and air conditioning The hotel wouldn’t change it

Great staff beautiful hotel clean rooms very relaxing.
