The hotel is beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. Very easy to find lounge chairs at the pool or on the beach, not overcrowded.

the hotel is beautiful and has a great white sandy beach! loved the history of the hotel! can’t wait to come back!

I love the Don Cesar. it’s always clean, the staff are great. the location is incredible and for myself and my family who already live in Florida, you still feel like you’re on a vacation when you stay there without the fuss and muss of airports and flying!

Reminded me of a smaller resort in Mexico but not all inclusive. Beach was awesome!! Private beach with chairs & umbrella at no charge. Room was small but very nice. Beautiful view!! Pools were nice. Nice there was an adult pool. Parking fee was expensive($27 per day)! Ice cream & coffee shop were perfect!! Liked the cashless hotel. Have to book spa services 5 days prior cause they book quickly. Virtual hotel assistant you could text to ask questions was very helpful & saved time!!!

beautiful well kept property with a cool history. heated pool was awesome as were beach and pool towel amenities.

The room was modernized with a great view, food excellent!

Everything from the staff to the food and overall vibe was fantastic. Love how beautiful everything is decorated for the holidays. The gift shop always has fantastic gems!

The Don is a wonderful hotel with an amazing beach. Warm waters, white sandy beach, further away for peace and tranquility. The Don has a lil convenience store with amazing ice cream - blueberry cheesecake ice cream gets better with every bite! It was a wonderful place to be with family and just enjoy the peace and great food.

Location! Excellent service at the pool from Katie and Jackie!

The rooms were very nice as were the 2 pools and outside bar. The shops and market were nice features. The updates are all very nice.
