We have been going to the Don CeSar for 15 years. We like to refer to this as “our place“. We absolutely love it. The beach is not crowded and the beauty of the Pink Palace is unmatched. We have noticed over the years that some things have changed for the better, and some things for the worse, but overall, the  integrity of the Don has remained intact. Highly recommend!

The Don was fabulous for NYE! While the resort was fully booked, it never felt crowded. The beach and pool accommodations are lovely. I had a massage at the spa which was also great.

The place is not that bad. Certainly over priced. Be careful, there are several hidden fees. Although they you something is complementary, it is in a hidden fee. OUr room was good but very LOUD. HVAC system and plumbing were very noisy. I also had an incident where I was mildly injured in a tripping incident. Very little concern was expressed. I would go back, but will certainly look at several other options before hand. It is not very high on my list.

Wonderful room, all staff friendly and helpful and competent. Food very good, drinks as well. Bathroom SMALL, but that’s a consequence of an historic hotel. Great getaway stay. Thanks to all of you.

A little disappointed with the interior design and furnishings, considering it is a historic hotel. Also, no tub, and no jacuzzi by the pools. Overall, a nice stay and good hotel, but not exactly what we were expecting.

Poor in many ways. Toilet paper was like tissue paper. Awful small bathrooms no grab bars. Very poor food and selection of food Beach and pool great. Bathroom at pool only cold water no not water. And door stuck had to kick bottom to get out of the bathroom and sign said so ! Ridiculous . Very expensive. For what you got. Positive. Great staff throughout. Friendly helpful. Very disappointed overall. Also were told when we arrived “ concierge won’t be here till after 530 pm tomorrow. “ Sad for an “ elite “ hotel. Would never recommend
