Top Notch! 5/23/2011

Make sure you check out the rooftop deck after your spa treatments. more

Body Treatment 5/22/2011

I'm a local from Lakeland and visit the west coast beaches often. Pampering myself at spa's is a common induldgence for me. I've visited the Don Cesar spa a few times but, not since the VERY needed renovations. Spa Oceana is beautiful and the body treatment I had by Jenelle was one the best spa treatments I've ever experienced! She was incredibly thorough when doing the scrub and massage was wonderful! I will be back! Thanks You! Elizabeth more

Our mini vacation 5/21/2011

We celebrated our anniversary here and had the best time. The service, food, spa, and shopping was great! Not to mention the beach and pool! We cannot wait to come back. more

Unhappy 5/21/2011

I wrote a review on your website Monday, May 16th and have not had the courtesy of a response. Why do you offer this feature if you don't respond???? more

most relaxing day I had all year.. 5/19/2011

Service was great, facilities were clean and very accomodating. I was with a group of 4 women that all have services done at the same time, it was a great girls day at the spa. more

Birthday Mani/Pedi! 5/19/2011

I've been to the Oceana Spa several times and it is always a very soothing and relaxing experience and the people are always so pleasant. However, their housekeeping pulled down their overall rating! Sorry guys, the dust was hiding the shine! more

Great Mani/pedi spa! 5/18/2011

decided to get a mani/ pedi with a friend as a mother's day treat! The setting and attention to detail were fantastic! The young lady who did my nails did a fantastic job on my nails and I asolutely loved the hand massage.By far the best experince I have ever had in a nail spa! more

Spa Oceana 5/18/2011

Everything I expected and more. Was made to feel very comfortable since I was a little anxcious about the experience. Although I was not prepared to use the facility for the day. I would consider lounging on the rooftop if the opportunity arises again. Surroundings are lovely. The only thing that would have made it better was to get one of the rooms with the view of the ocean. more

Oceana Spa 5/18/2011

Good massage with knowledgeable masseus. Lovely facility and roof deck. Pricey for this market. more

Deep Tissue Massage 5/18/2011

Very good massage, they go a long way to make sure they are focusing on the right parts of your body that need work. My therapist even had aromatherapy on hand with a variety of relaxing fragrances. Robes are great, too. I know it's something simple, but an extremely comfortable robe goes a long way in my book at any spa. However the "Whisper Room" where spa-goers wait beforehand was not quite what I was expecting. Rather than sitting quietly and relaxed, robed spa guests seemed more like zoo-animals. There was only a thin, sheer gauze separating them from the hotel guests, room service, and random hotel workers arriving to the floor via elevator. The first time a guest walked out onto the floor we were equally surprised, but after a while I lost interest in who/what came out of the elevator. All the meanwhile, they were intrigued with the figures beyond the separator. Luckily, you aren't there very long, and the tea and perfectly-chilled water are perfect pre-massage (or wrap, facial, etc.). more

Outstanding excellence and service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 5/17/2011

I'm a busy single mother who's in the beauty industry so I've had my fair share of spas and salons, but this experience toped my chart, by far. Jasmine did my massage and was just amazing, followed by a phenominal facial with Rebeccah. The lunch was very tasty as well. The overall experience, atmosphere and service was amazing and I can't wait to do it again!!! more

mani pedi and tour 5/16/2011

Staff were unusually accommodating and helpful, friendly and welcoming. Kudos for Rachel and Holli. more

Massage and lunch on the roof 5/16/2011

The massage itself was wonderful, but the therapist was 10 minutes late and ended on time, cheating me out of 10 minutes. That made me mad. The roof is gorgeous, but I had a time finding a place to sit because of all of the deserted trays of food everywhere. Someone should be up there cleaning after the guests, especially considering how many people mill around at the desk, not doing anything. Other than that the place is glorious and it's a real treat to visit. more

Pedicure 5/13/2011

Beatrice was excellent, and the spa lovely more

Spa Treatments 5/12/2011

Had a 90 minute massage (2 weeks ago had a facial & a 60 minute massage. Although these treatments are all very pricey, they are wonderful. The therapists are outstanding. The ambiance in the spa, Steam Room & Whirlpool are GREAT ! Please consider a discount for local residents. Thanks! more

Hair/makeup/wedding 5/10/2011

Everything was wonderful - the ceremony was beautifully set up, the rehearsal was helpful, and the reception was incredible - with very kind and helpful staff all the way though. Courtney deserves every ounce of praise I have read for her on other reviews - she is truly a joy to work with. more

Spa Oceana is a special place. 5/7/2011

I could go for a massage anywhere but never go anywhere except Spa Oceana because the services are excellent, the location georgous and the food (we always have lunch) scrumptious. A day at Spa Oceana makes you feel like a queen for a day! more

WCR Cinco de Mayo 5/7/2011

Great event, had a wonderful time. Thanks to the spa staff! more

AJ 5/3/2011

If you're looking for a quaint retreat this is a great place to go. Though the hotel is large the spa is pretty small in size, which is appealing. Be prepared to wait when you get there. Service is usually received 20-30 mins after scheduled time of appointment. more

Great Experience 4/27/2011

We went to the Don CeSar spa to have a couples message, mani and pedi's....We'll I have told everyone "NOT CHEAP" but you leave feeling as though your money was well SPENT...and adding the 20% was a STRESS releif.. THIS was the best experience I have every had at a spa. They are there to meet your every need and meet our NEEDS they did. The roof top is incredible (however, we wish the fountain was a wading pool or something to cool you off.)BUT JUST INCREDIBLE :) 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.
