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!

All the feels of an island all inclusive luxury resort but definitely without the all inclusive part. There is an exorbitant cost for the room that makes you expect something better. The bed was wonderful and the views were spectacular but the room and bathroom were so small it was difficult have a suitcase opened and be able to open the door to the room at the same time. The bathroom decor was modern but the room so small that the toilet seat wouldn’t stay up due to the tiny countertop extending a few inches over the toilet. The standup shower was very narrow and not easy to turn around within it. The main restaurant was average food at best and the breakfast service extremely slow. The staff was very nice and friendly. There was paid valet or paid parking that was NOT included in the room price and despite the $38 per day it was clear that the attendants expected tips, as evident by them accepting Venmo since the campus advertises a cashless property. Thinking the towel attendants, beach chair folks, bell hops, concierge, and EVERY possible thing you can imagine where someone could earn a tip would prefer cash.

This is my Happy Place! The first view of the hotel when you cross the bridge always takes my breath away. The service is outstanding everywhere in the hotel- everyone is just so kind and friendly. The rooms are very comfortable, the pool area is outstanding. My husband will tell you I own half of the gift shop- have to rep the Don- and the view at sunset is the best. I feel so calm and relaxed here...please don't change a thing! I love my Don CeSar!

My husband I had just an overnight stay. Even though it was pricey, the service and stay was amazing and very relaxing. Thank you.

My wife and I had a wonderful time. Swim out in the water a bit and turn around….WOW, what a sight. Beach was interesting with many different sea shells and sand dollars. We arrived early and were checked tight into our room. Very beautiful place to stay. The pink hotel delivered on all our expectations. Thanks Don CeSar.
