Hotel Review

The Don CeSar, affectionately known as Florida's legendary "Pink Palace", continues to dazzle visitors with its blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Presiding over St. Pete Beach, it offers a perfect blend of privacy and access to local attractions, ensuring a memorable stay for both leisure and luxury seekers. We loved the resort ambience, location, and the attentive service provided by the staff.

Elegant and beach-chic decor is the name of the game. Our room was comfortable, clean with a tropical vibe and a private terrace boasting panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico.

Your choice of two beachfront swimming pools, a luxury spa, fitness centre, and direct access to the stunning beach. The Don CeSar's ability to cater to families, couples, and groups with its diverse range of services and activities ensures it remains a top choice for those seeking a luxurious beachfront getaway​.
