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!

A beautiful and memorable trip! We had an amazing experience at Don Cesar. It was our first time staying at this resort and we were incredibly impressed. The guest service was amazing, our room was beautiful, the pool area was spacious and clean, and the beach was pristine. We loved that the chairs and umbrellas were included. We felt welcomed like cherished family and treated so wonderfully throughout our entire stay. We will definitely be back!

Good experience but not amazing. The valet and bellhop don’t communicate with front desk so our luggage was never sent to our rooms. Beach service was subpar - no one going around to take drink orders and the beach area seemed disorganized. Also, the food by the pool was pretty cheap.

Only one restaurant was open for dinner and the wait time was about two hours after we ordered.
