Honeymoon at Don Cesar 8/26/2011

The facility completely met our expectations when we arrived. The room was great and had an awesome view. However, we had a really hard time getting house keeping to come to our room even though we requested it ahead of time. The last day housekeeping didn't show up at all and we run out of clean towels and cups. I am a neat freak so the house keeping issue would make me doubt going back in my next vacation. more

Ms Judith Morin 8/23/2011

We were three, one of us had a mani/Pedi, which I have to say she was very disappointed, upon inspection (putting our glasses on) we saw that her nail bed was not covered with polish, not what you would expect from a 1st class spa, my friend had a facial and I had a massage. I loved the massage, however, to go on a regular basis it's too expensive, the same with the facial. I will not pay that amount of money for a facial. I have a great estitician and I pay $80.00 plus tip,she will be moving and I have to find another but the prices you ask are just way to high for me to come every six weeks or so. If staying at the hotel and for a treat it's great, however, for the local not so good and as in the mani/pedi not up to standard. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. more

Mrs. Amy Askeland 8/22/2011

Spa Day with my Granddaughter 8/19/2011

My 17 year old granddaughter was visiting, and had been enjoying the Don and its amenities since she was 4. She always loved the pool. "Camp Cesar", the restaurants and the para sailing. We even spent the night two summers ago as a special treat. This year, I thought we would have our first "Spa Day". I've had many spa days, but this was our first together. Needless to say, she loved it, and we look forward to many more such wonderful times together. more

What a treat! 8/15/2011

My daughter and I spent a lovely afternoon at the Spa and took advantage of the beautiful rooftop to enjoy the view and a spa lunch. The staff was most welcoming and informative. One nice touch might be to have a basket of inexpensive sunglasses to use while on the roof and also to have combs available when you get out of the shower (I have seen these at other spas, keep in an antibacterial solution). These are just some suggestions as it was a superb experience and we already are planning to return! more

Enjoyable; great customer service; great entertainment 8/14/2011

As a local, I found the Don Cesar to be a very enjoyable weekend getaway. We chose the hotel because of an Internet special but I'm not sure I would have paid the full price for the same experience. The staff extended superb customer service. Even the cleaning staff in the halls went out of their way to greet us with smiles. The room was nice but this is where I didn't think the experience would have deserved full price. I've had more luxurious rooms in many mid-tier hotels. And the hallways leading to the rooms felt humid and hot; as if they turned off the A/C to the hallways. But you're paying for the historic aspect of the Don, which was certainly intriguing (the intricate architecture and stories of ghost sightings made it special). The resort had many activities that were fun. We liked the complimentary lounge chairs on the beach where we enjoyed having a cocktail at sunset each night. All in all, if you get a discounted deal through the Internet, the Don is the place to go. To top it all off, we walked the beach at sunset and stumbled upon a rescue organization releasing a baby sea turtle to the sea. more

Owner Message
  • Nicknamed the Pink Palace, the iconic Don CeSar is located directly on St. Pete Beach with beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico and Ciega Bay. Beach rentals and water sport rentals are available in addition to complimentary beach activities. The Don CeSar boasts seven drinking and dining options including the award-winning seafood restaurant, Maritana Grille, which is surrounded by fifteen hundred gallons of salt-water aquariums filled with natural Florida fish.

Editorial
  • The Scene
    The graceful queen of Bay area hotels opened in 1928, and is now fully renovated. Elegant marble floors and Italian chandeliers make diners feel very special. Between the hotel's restaurants, diners have a drop-dead panorama of sun or moon, sea and sky, a garden-level view of the Gulf of Mexico and the perfect spot to watch beach goings-on.

    The Food
    On holidays, the Sea Porch Cafe typically serves family-style dinners in a casual setting. The Maritana Grille, the hotel's formal, gourmet restaurant is a nice place for a fancy night out with its dazzling seafood, game and steak selections. During the holidays, four-course dinners are offered with a fixed price that's a good deal. Reserve Sunday mornings for the King Charles Ballroom where a bounty of fruits, seafood, meats and desserts make up the brunch buffet.
