Originally built in 1928, the DonCesar is like a pink cake that commands St Pete's skyline. Offering Gulf views, this Moorish-style hotel is a travel idyll. Drop in for a mojito and enjoy the beach. Read more
Great property! Elegant...BUT very small rooms. Get a suite for sure. Lots of great restaurants and shops in hotel. Great beach
Benjamin 🚀April 16, 2015Unique in every way...including the pink color! Absolutely splurge for the top of the line rooms and absolutely make sure you get a corner room 😄🇺🇸.
Marie La RueJanuary 3, 2019Thoroughly enjoyed the amenities: 2 pools, several beach bars and a private beach for patrons. Historic building, well maintained and skillfully managed.
Winnie EvansApril 13, 2015Beautiful! The food and drinks are amazing. The staff is friendly! We came here for a wedding. It made a beautiful venue! The pools, hot tub, and beach are beautiful. The pool side bar is also great!!
Every single person I have encountered during My stay has been a pleasure to interact with...highly recommend Don Cesar for your next event...staff, service, accommodations and meals are all amazing.
Janneke BoekhorstSeptember 21, 2013Awesome hotel. Very good service, pool is cool and the beach is only a few steps away. Love it to stay here!
Jason H.May 22, 2015Adorable doll house rooms and friendly service. Choose ocean view if possible. Negative comment is that they nickel and dime a bit. Shouldn't charge a resort fee and then charge for a beach chair.
Excellent place to stay! Love it so beautiful! Great service!
Michael MosesMarch 22, 2017Procure a cocktail or 3 on the back patio overlooking the ocean. Bonus points if it's at sunset.
- Say Hi to Matthew and Chuck and get the frozen rum runners! Love, Boston!
My personal favorite St. Pete Beach resort. This hotel has a luxurious feel throughout.- Drew FreyJune 16, 2013The 277-room hotel, on the Gulf of Mexico's pale sands, opened in 1928 as a stylish retreat for the well-heeled.
Wendy RosenSeptember 5, 2010I love to stay here and Nancy Markoe Gallery down the street has the greatest jewelry and gifts for all those I left at home. The pottery and art glass are all one of a kind. Read more
Charles RichardsonMay 10, 2011The setting is elegant but the rooms are small. Many people decide to have a wedding or special occasion on site. The pool and beachside is great for couples or families.
christina viggianoSeptember 28, 2015Fabulous drinks! Delicious smoked bourbon by the best mixologist Christine!- Ashley DeetsMay 30, 2010If you can get to the lobby bar while piano player is tickling the ivories, enjoy a black and blue mojito and piano renditions of journey, beatles, Elton John, and santata.
- The Spa Oceana is impeccable. You must treat yourself to a Spa Day here. It is wonderful!
Jennifer RussoMay 25, 2012This looks like the Barbie mansion with its Pepto PINK exterior. Brunch is amazing!!!

Hands down the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The service and quality is superb.
Annie Olson-ReinersMarch 14, 2014Walk in like you own the place and search out a bathroom. It's gorgeous!
Check in to your spa appt early or plan time after to enjoy tea or steam room or jacuzzi
Lisa D'MekkoOctober 26, 2013Drinks over priced, I ordered a blueberry blast (non-alcoholic) and it was $7!!! Ridiculous for a non-alcoholic drink. The blueberries had to have been previously frozen and were chewy. Cheaply made.
Have chuck make you a frozen chuck. If you want something stronger then have a chuck on the rocks
Vicki GoldwasserNovember 26, 2010tip the piano man and have him play your favorite love song... very romantic!
- Rum runners are seriousand try the drink of the day!
