The Don CeSar

Excellent service and beautiful hotel. Regan at the front desk is amazing. She truly goes above and beyond to make things special. I called at the last minute for a quick getaway. Regan was able to accommodate my requests and made the entire stay enjoyable and stress free.

Amanda and Jessi at the front desk truly made our trip epic! They greeted us with champagne and treated us like queens! They were a wealth of knowledge about all of the hotel activities and really went above and beyond to be sure we had an incredible time! Amanda and Jessi will be THE reason we return every year!

Wonderful staycation at a great location. Regan at the front desk was super nice and helped us with all of our questions and requests. I love the pink champagne when checking in, it's such a great touch. At the beach/pool side restaurant staff member Edner was full of smiles, it always feels like coming home when we eat there and see him. Another 10 out of 10 I can't wait to stay qt the Don again.

I had seen the hotel from my boat many years ago & said I would like to stay there one day. We decided on a short stay-cation to see if it lived up to the price & hype. My first strike is that they nickel & dime you for everything. There's a daily parking fee & daily resort fee on top of your hotel charges. When you pull up to unload the valet guys try to strong arm you into using their service. If not, they try to rush you away from the entrance to check in. Strike two. When walking from the parking lot to the entrance there was a big empty Doritos bag on the sidewalk along the entry ramp & an empty drink glass from the bar on the wall. easily noticeable while driving. None of the valet crew ever pick either up. Not impressive. The interior common area is impressive in the 1920s Art Deco style design. I guess historic is code to small rooms. The closet was tiny, the bathroom was small, the entry to the room was too small for two people. The pool area was nice with outdoor bars for the guests. The beach front area was nice with adequate beach chairs for the guests. They do have some water sport related experiences like jet skis, kayak, paddle boards, etc. They are extra, except if you kayak or paddle board before 10AM. There are boutique shops to buy cabana wear & overpriced food & liquor. There is an outdoor restaurant by the pool area. Did not see the menu. There are plenty of restaurants, stores, & shops immediately outside the resort to go eat, get snax, or beach stuff. The big attraction is the beach which is always beautiful. It was nice to kind of splurge for a change of pace. However, I don't believe the value for what we paid was worth the price. Next time we take a stay-cation, we'll go to the Tradewinds, )which is much bigger, more beach activities, more selection of things to do) or another hotel down the street..

First time visiting for work and fun. Resort is oozing with charm. Wonderful staff. Beautiful expansive beach. Heidi the concierge was fantastic. Enjoyed the restaurants. Room was nice though bathroom is very small (probably due to original construction in 1928). Loved it overall
