We had such a great stay at The Don CeSar and can’t wait to come again! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with smiles and kindness. A special shoutout to the amazing valet crew—especially Denis, who was always so friendly and welcoming. Our son, absolutely loved interacting with him! At check-in, Nick at the front desk was incredibly helpful and kind, setting the tone for a great stay. And a big thank you to Julian for his exceptional hospitality—he went above and beyond by filling my bottle with ice when I was in a rush. It’s those thoughtful little moments that really made a difference. Housekeeping kept our room spotless, and the entire staff at the pool and bar were fantastic—from the bartenders to the team who helped us find seats and even laid out our towels. They truly went above and beyond to make us feel cared for. The Don CeSar had everything we needed and more. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish. Truly an amazing team and hotel—we’ll definitely be back!

The Don did not disappoint. I’ve lived in Tampa for over 25 years and never took advantage of this gem until this year. The hotel is still recovering from the back to back hurricanes in 2024 but the service, staff, rooms, and amenities were great! We will be back in the future to celebrate more big events in our lives. Thanks for making my birthday so special!

DON CESAR is a 5 star hotel. The architecture of the building is impressive and the beautiful decorations inside complete the excellence of this place. They have alternatives of amenities like: pool, spa, fittness, stores, jacuzzi, great dining and of course the excellent beach of St. Pete. We stayed one night to celebrate our anniversary but next time we will consider to stay two. Eventhough, there was an area that was still remodeling because of Milton Huricane the rest of the accesible areas were awsome.
