Beautiful art Deco design throughout. Great pools and location. Parking is convenient but overpriced. Food is not excellent at on site restaurants and amenities in the room including pillows, coffee, etc. could be better quality. Staff could focus more on the guests.

I have very mixed feelings about this hotel because it holds a lot of sentimental value for me — I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl. When I first arrived this visit, I was greeted very kindly, but unfortunately that warmth seemed to fade as my stay went on. Some of the staff were truly wonderful and made positive impressions, while others were noticeably unfriendly or dismissive. The rooms have been remodeled, but they were already updated on my last visit, and this time the renovation just didn’t feel well done or very clean, more like a quick, cost-effective refresh. I even found ants in the room, which was really disappointing. The pool area was actually much nicer than before, which was a highlight, but there’s still no hot tub is disappointing but the pool is heated. For a property like this, that feels like a missed opportunity. The food was unfortunately subpar, which is sad considering the hotel’s stunning grounds, rich history, and overall potential. My biggest frustration was being told that a 1:00 PM checkout would cost $100 per hour on a Monday afternoon when the hotel didn’t seem busy. I’m used to Marriott and Hilton brands being far more accommodating in situations like that. This is one of the most expensive hotels in the area, yet it really doesn’t feel like it when you’re there. It’s a beautiful property with so much charm and history. I truly want to love it. It could be amazing.

We stayed here for 5 nights with our 5 month old baby for a little R&R away from the northeast. We are so happy we chose The Don. It is an interesting and beautiful historic property right on a gorgeous beach with pools and several nice spots to eat and drink on site. The place is well managed and we felt very well take care of. From day 1, what made our experience were the wonderful people who work throughout the resort. Special shoutouts to Diana, the server at The Rowe Bar who gave us helpful tips on things to check out in the area, Jackie who kept the drinks and good vibes coming at the pool, and Yven and Jeckson from the coffee and gelato bar. The housekeeping staff were all super friendly and took great care of the room everyday. Dennis and the valet and bell teams got us in and out efficiently whenever we stepped out. We were able to get into St Pete to visit the Pier area a few nights and it was a very short drive. The list of excellent people working here goes on and on. We would definitely recommend The Don and would love to come back.
