We stayed at the Don over a weekend in July. Check in was quite busy, but we were handled in a very professional manner in good time. We were informed we had been upgrdaded to a suite as it was my birthday and that althogh the room wasnt ready we could make full use of the hotels facilities ( we... more

Beautiful Hotel and a Beautiful Beach. Good pool area with tiki bar near the beach – nice social scene for the afternoons. On our first visit, we arranged with the staff (concierge?) over the phone to have a car pick us up at the airport. We waited at the airport for over an hour, and had to make several phones... more

Overall the Don Cesar is a lovely resort. We encountered some issues from the get-go. We were promised an upgrade at the time of booking but when we arrived the resort was packed. No upgrade was ever available or ever offered, apologies were given but nothing else. We are Lowes members and expected much more. No other comp was offered... more

We first stayed at this hotel in 1981. Visited many times during the 80s. Loved everyone of those vacations.This was our first stay in quite some time. A very different experience. We booked a standard room the old fashioned way......via telephone. Was told there was plenty of availability when placing the reservation. We arrived at a little after 1:00 in... more

I don't understand the bad reviews about this hotel. I recently went with my family--including my 11 year old nephew--and we had a terrific time. We arrived early (well before check in) and we all got our rooms immediately. My sister, husband and son stayed in one room that was quite large. My boyfriend and I had a smaller room,... more

Just spent eighteen days in the Pink Palace, excellent. The hotel is immaculately clean, the staffs were more than helpful. Hotel staff were also well informed of the hotels history. The rooms were a little smaller than expected, though not a problem. We had breakfast & midday meals most days at the hotel, in the evening we ate out except... more

Where to start!!This hotel is the biggest rip-off its not even funny. When you first walk in, its nice. They do a great job on first impressions. They really hook you, especially on their website where they show you pics of the rooms from angles that make the rooms look huge. Our room was called the "Grand King"!! So when... more

Where to start. We booked into the Don on a blazing hot saturday afternoon at 5.00 to be told our room was not ready...< traveling with 2 children < 1 who was 18 months old at date of travel > We wre told very inpolitely to wait by the pool. Having arrived at the pool we were met by the... more

I am sure that in the 1920's this hotel was the most luxurious around, but by todays standards it falls short. While the Don CeSar is a beautiful piece of architecture to look at and it has a storied past, the prices that are charged to stay here are better spent elsewhere. The rooms are small and the bathrooms are... more
