The champagne check in was a nice touch. The cabanas and umbrellas on the beach were all torn and worn and in need of replacement. The towels in the rooms and pool/beach are thin and like sandpaper. There are elements in the room that have been poorly refurbished like knicks in doors and molding thats just painted over like a 2 star hotel. The staff are polite but everyone is more interested in socializing with coworkers than being attentive and serving the guests. For the price, we got better service in Italy last year. I guess this is the new norm in the U.S. It was a good experience just not 4 star.

We enjoyed our stay. We loved the breakfast buffet and gelato shop! We enjoyed the free bikes and biked to dinner without needing a car. Cons: 2 small pools instead of one large. Maritana restaurant was overpriced and average food. Beautiful and good service but not well seasoned or prepared. Room and bathroom was very small but we did have a partial ocean view! Room was lovely but tight for 2 people. Bathroom not large enough for 2. Property surrounding the DonCesar was mostly motel style inns and apartments. Modest pricing, no luxury homes or restaurants. Felt very old Florida, classic and simple. Loved the rose glass at check in!

The Don was okay. The best thing was our waitress at Maritana and being right on the beach, Other than that, the walls are super thin, my food was over cooked (filet) and I’d just say the hotel is average.. the concerns I brought up to the hotel manager during our stay were never addressed and no real customer service was given. I’ve stayed at the Bellwether as well and tbh I’d pick that hotel over the Don in the future. Not worth the price.
