Fantastic Hotel with good facilites and helpful staff. Shame about the 'Starbucks' Coffee that they rpide themselves on - unless of couse you are a fan of 'Starbucks'. Difficult to get a coffee when we arrived and were finally served the dreaded 'Starbucks' in polystyrene cups - not what you expect from this class of hotel. However, otherwise a great... More

The Don Cesar is a perfect choice to kick back and unwind. Our overall experience was great. The only disappoitment was with a late arriving house keeping staff on one day. Spending a couple of days under an umbrella, a view of the Gulf of Mexico, with Kindle & Corona in hand can do wonders for your outlook on life.... More

Just in for a quick visit, attending Eckerd College graduation ceremonies. This is the closest place to stay for family members visiting Eckerd students. It visually stands out with its pink stucco Moorish/Mediterranean styled 8 story tower. This historical landmark hotel first opened in 1928, converted into a military hospital in 1942, and the VA occupied the site until 1969;... More

Just departing now from a 3 night stay at the Don. Have been here many times before and have generally enjoyed our stay. The hotel is beautiful and in a prime location, so the Loews has an automatic advantage, I just hope they aren't relying on location alone to bring repeat guests. Positives - The service at the pool was... More

I just stayed at the "Don" for 5 days and what a beautiful place. From the minute I walked in the front door until I left it was outstanding. Sevice was great and the place is awesome. Great history and yes the rooms are small but who goes away for the room? Place is top notch.

We arrived after driving 600 miles. Had leak in bathroom that took three requests before it was fixed. Room was not made up two days in a row. Staff and hotel are nice but there is a lack of attention to detail and customer service. They could certainly take some lessons from The Ritz in Sarasota, it wouldn't take much... More

Expensive for what it could be, but ultimately is not. The rooms are poorly insulated and if you are there to relax, this can be difficult (from doors banging at night, to wedding parties, newspaper delivery, or people shouting down the corridor to their brats or dogs). The service ranges from excellent (generally) to poor (very occasionally), but the biggest... More

If you are debating between the Tradewinds and the Don Cesar, pick the Don Cesar. It is by far the nicest hotel in the area. The beach and pool area is what really sets it apart. The sand is sugar soft white and the two pools are generous. The rooms, although gorgeous, are a little small. Families may be cramped... More

This hotel is very beautiful in an old world "Mambo Kings" kind of way. I can imagine some stunning and unforgettable events happening there. But I was there for business and for sleep, and for that, it was just ok. When I arrived, finding a place to plug in my laptop was strangely hard. The outlets mounted on the desk... More

Stayed there for a wedding this weekend. Great for a wedding, really great. Totally overrated for a nice weekend getaway. Was extremely disappointed with the customer service and the appearance of the interior. Elevator buttons were old and broken. Hallways were dingy. Door to our room had a huge scratch. Bathrooms are smaller than anything. For the price, it leaves... More
