Guest reviews The Don Cesar, St. Pete Beach

5 Days in Paradise

Wow...what an amazing trip at a wonderful resort! Heading to Florida during the pandemic was a bit sketchy , however, once at the Don Cesar, everything was wonderful! Masks were required indoors, people were honoring social distancing and most everything we wanted was open! The staff was extraordinary, (LOVED Paul at the pool) working their tails off, respectful and polite! We were told room cleaning would be minimal and it was...we could always get clean towels and trash emptied upon request. This was a special trip to reconnect with a special person...she and I could not have been more pleased with our experience! A 5 star experience...thank you!

Great place

I have been coming to the Don Cesar for a few years now and I just love to stay at this place! The Pink Palace never ceases to amaze me! Great service, relaxing place for a more mature crowd and most importantly, great ambiance for family vacation.

Restful

We decided to stay at the pink palace for a girls trip, which included my mom and my sisters, to celebrate my baby sister's graduation. The visit was absolutely amazing! We were worried about how hot it was (over 95 degrees), but being in the water, and sipping frozen margaritas and pina colodas did the trick! The food at the pool and in the Rowe restaurant was also really good and reasonably priced. With Covid still a factor, we made sure to wear masks in the lobby and shops and appreciated that the staff did as well. It was clear that the hotel made an effort to take precautions and takes safety seriously. We will definitely be back!

Amazing Hotel and Staff!

The Don Cesar is wonderful! We came for a girls weekend in late June 2020 and even with the Covid-19 restrictions we had a great time. The staff worked so hard to keep up with the new standards and provide us with a great experience. The rooms were clean and what a view! We enjoyed food and drinks at the beach, pool, and restaurants thanks to the amazing service throughout our stay. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend at the beach. I highly recommend and will certainly visit again.

WHAT????? Never again!

My sister lives in Parrish, FL. She always wanted to visit and stay at the famous PINK HOTEL, so I made reservations in middle of June 2020, a Wednesday. Upon check-in, there were two employees at the front desk, NO MASKS! After we signed in and gave our information, we were handed the keys to the room. Then she proceeds to tell us that the water would be turned OFF between 11:00 pm and 5 am. Also, you would probably find the water discolored when it first comes on and don't worry it is okay. Also, I asked for ocean view, which they did not have, so I settled for city view with water view, either way it is nice. Guess what? I got a view alright, over the roof from the front and side windows. The room had a terrible odor, the carpet was old and worn as well as the beds. It looked like they had touched that room in months (which was probably the case). As a party of four, senior citizens mind you, having no water during the night is unacceptable! Also, even though we were paying for four, we were only allowed to receive chairs for 3 and the 4th one had to pay extra. Needless to say, we immediately demanded our monies returned and left with a great disappointment! Wow I thought this was going to be a beautiful place, not the case at all. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY< NOT WORTH IT! Please not we frequently travel, this by far ranks at the bottom of the list.
