We have been going to the Don CeSar for 15 years. We like to refer to this as “our place“. We absolutely love it. The beach is not crowded and the beauty of the Pink Palace is unmatched. We have noticed over the years that some things have changed for the better, and some things for the worse, but overall, the  integrity of the Don has remained intact. Highly recommend!

The Don was fabulous for NYE! While the resort was fully booked, it never felt crowded. The beach and pool accommodations are lovely. I had a massage at the spa which was also great.

When I was younger we spent a lot of time in St Pete’s and Madeira Beach. I had thought at the age of 16 if I was ever to stay at the Don Cesar it meant I made it 😆. At 50 We recently stayed there and it was stunning. Will be back for sure.

Loved everything except the price! Beautiful well kept property, fabulous staff, easy parking. But everything comes with a price. We paid more to park than we did for the car rental. Restaurants are good but limited options especially for poolside. Again you have to pay for quality, but $10 for oatmeal?

Purchased a junior suite and the room smelled like mildew and had stains in the carpet. I have stayed at the here a few times and this was not the best overall experience

This beautiful Pink Palace lives up to its name. Grandiose, Beautiful palace full of history!! Sad how they got rid of the Fountains, they were part of the romanticism...The staff was amazing! Especially Ms. Sandy...She's been in the facility for 28 years and was very helpful in answering our questions. My only complaint was the toilet, my husband is 6'2" and it was interesting to attempt to use it so close to shower door (not sure about other rooms but the first floor room we were in).We are definitely going back with the kids.

Room was small but I'll assume there are larger rooms for more money. We usually stay a few miles north of here, and comparatively speaking we paid nearly double here for most of the amenities, foods, drinks, parking, etc. On the plus side the bed was comfortable and AC worked good. You have everything you need right onsite, restaurants, bars, coffee/ice cream shop, spa, fitness center, two pools and beachfront access.

The place needs an upgrade. Towels had holes and sheets were ripped, pillows had black makes and hand towels had red marks and even robs had make up on them. It just kept getting worse. Long black hairs in the bathroom. I travel often and the only poetics was the location, beach and staff were fantastic.
