The location is outstanding. The building is so classy and the staff, especially the staff at the Maritana, were very friendly.

The rooms are very small and the bathrooms are tiny.

Not many buildings look pretty in pink, but the Don Cesar has to be that exact color! We had a beautiful room on the 7th floor with a view of the pool and sea. Everything was very clean and well maintained and the staff was always very friendly and helpful.The most beautiful thing for us was the direct transition from the pool area to the sea and especially the wide beach that invites you to take a walk.The sea is very clean for swimming and and the beach with its bird life is just wonderful. Maybe the most beautiful hotel on the most beautiful beach in Florida?

We had nothing to complain about. Perfect from A-Z

Everything. We (My wife and I) were treated exceptionally well. Everyone from the Valets to the Front Desk, convenience store, bars and restaurants were friendly, helpful and expedient. Everyone from the beach staff to the free bike rental staff were all exceptional. The entire facility is spotlessly clean and modestly elegant. The bed, pillows and comforter were all unbelievably comfortable. We ate at every restaurant and also at the bar and the food and drinks were fantastic everywhere. An exceptional experience from the minute we arrived to the minute we didn't want to leave. I don't write too many reviews, but Don CeSar deserves it. Thank you. Looking forward to another visit soon.

We can say with all honesty say there was nothing we did not like. Even the weather was perfect.

Beautiful building excellent location loves the amenities. Loved the live music in the lobby bar. Housekeeping staff was top notch. Everyone I encountered who worked their was friendly. Loved the spa services- I had the Be Celebrated Package and it was wonderful. Loved the history of the DonCesar

Room 613 had the little insects. Kind of annoying. Food was expensive for watch you got. After two meals there I decided to do dinner off property instead.

Loved the pool and access to the beach, the beach amenities free in the mornings was a big plus to try them out with our small kids who didn't do it longer then 10-15 minutes so it would not have been worth a full rental. The kids club and activities were great, Kiki was an amazing director of those kids activities, our girls loved her energy and creativeness and participated daily through our stay.

Disliked the dinner automatically included a 20% tip for us, we didn't have 7 or 8 people, our server was alright but not 20% of the bill worth for a high end restaurant. Our room also had an issue with the main outlets between the bed and had to have an electrician from the property come fix it late at night, I would assume for a high end property those things be tested working before they turn the room over.

Staff was so friendly and helpful. Everything was so clean and if you needed anything they were there to assist. Hotel was beautiful and in a great location.

Not many restaurants in walking distance. AC was limited to 65 and it felt like a muggy 70 degrees. Pillows were not 4 star quality and bathroom door would not lock. Shower was beautiful but the water pressure was horrible. Restaurants at hotel were so expensive we had to drive to go eat. Highest quality steak was a flat iron and it was $38, no thank you. I heard it all tasted great but way overpriced. Doesn’t matter how much money you have if you pay almost $40 for a flat iron steak that is just crazy. Drinks from pool side bar were like $15 a piece but very good!

Reminded me of a smaller resort in Mexico but not all inclusive. Beach was awesome!! Private beach with chairs & umbrella at no charge. Room was small but very nice. Beautiful view!! Pools were nice. Nice there was an adult pool. Parking fee was expensive($27 per day)! Ice cream & coffee shop were perfect!! Liked the cashless hotel. Have to book spa services 5 days prior cause they book quickly. Virtual hotel assistant you could text to ask questions was very helpful & saved time!!!

First and foremost, it was a beautiful experience. We typically stay in clear water but we will definitely be coming there instead & staying at the Don. KATIE B who was a server at the pool was the highlight of our trip. The most hard working, kind, accommodating staff member by far. The food at the pool was great. Great drinks. We knew the room wasn’t going to be big, the price was a little high for the room but because of everything else, it was worth it. The room was also clean & had comfortable beds. The pool was great, the beach was well kept & beautiful. Everyone was working hard to make sure everyone had a pleasant get away. I used the fitness facilities & they were SO clean, great machines, a lot of options & classes included beach yoga included in the stay. We went for an adult getaway but would feel more than comfortable coming with our kids as well. A great combination of families or adult get away. Bar staff/lounge staff was so great as well (Hannah was our server in lounge & she was pleasant & had good humor).

We never ate at a restaurant downstairs because the first night we got in, we never got sat after the host seated the guests in front of us & saw us there, so we left. But we were coming from traveling & hangry so… took it with a grain of salt. But also didn’t care to go back. I was glad that was just a fluke bc the rest of the staff & time was beyond great.

Service is extraordinary; everyone goes out of their way to anticipate everything you could possibly want. Highly recommend.

Housekeeping waited until 4pm to clean one day when we had been out of the room at the pool since 10am, so we weren't able get the room cleaned.

The Don is a wonderful hotel with an amazing beach. Warm waters, white sandy beach, further away for peace and tranquility. The Don has a lil convenience store with amazing ice cream - blueberry cheesecake ice cream gets better with every bite! It was a wonderful place to be with family and just enjoy the peace and great food.

The bathrooms are a little small as it is an older hotel but renovated. But this would not keep me away... I hope to see you soon Don.
