Liam and Tanner at the front desk or so kind and helpful. They were great to talk to and extremely friendly! The hotel itself was nice, and my room was very spacious. It even had an old-fashioned fridge and couches in front of the TV that were movie styled. It was a very fun, happy, vibe that was 50s retro inspired.If only the weather was warmer during my visit, I felt like I really could've maximized my time at the hotel. They really made great use of their space with Life-size games, mini golf, and not to mention the beach was just steps away. I will definitely have to come back when the weather is warmer!!

Appliances are an adorable retro theme. The decor takes you back to a time where life was simpler and fills your senses with nostalgia. I couldn't help but smile while in the lobby that was decked out with the look and feel of times past. Big shout out to the very nice and professional gals in the lobby Cherish and Eva. Great customer service If you love vintage cars - this is your go to place - I promise. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a very minor issue with our keycard but it was immediately resolved literally within 5 minutes. Oh, and did I mention happy hour??? FREE beer and wine is never a bad thing! Lastly, we were able to meet one of the owners who was truly was happy to have us as his guest. They've thought of everything So, if you are ever in the area check them out.

I believe the host was Sofia. She was fantastic. Welllllll, we didn't get the "Welcome cookies"…read more That was a bummer. The check in was easy. The room was ok. It was near the bottom of all of the HGI's that we've slept in. To be clear, it was goo but not at the quality that I had expected. However, it would be rated higher if there was a sofa or a second, but comfortable, chair. The gym was nice. Be prepared to pay $25-$50 for parking. The hotel is centrally located in St. Pete Beach and a quick 10-15 minute drive to St. Pete. There are numerous restaurants within a 10-minute walk. You can access the beach from the hotel. All totaled, I'd go there again.

I stayed at the Don CeSar for four nights during a work conference, and had a great experience from…read morethe time I arrived and the time I left. The resort is huge but not overwhelming. The views are beautiful, and the location is right on the beach. There are plenty of spaces in the lobby for working, plenty of meeting rooms (or ball rooms if you're there for a formal event), and areas to just relax or work. The resort provides live music various days of the week as well. I will say that I was surprised about the lack of dining options. There is a lobby bar (which doesn't open until 3pm), and just two restaurant options. Maritana is only open a few days a week and not open until 5:30pm, although the lobby bar does serve a few small plates. The Society Table has a bar within their restaurant (Rowe Bar I believe), and I experienced both as they both have different menus. The lobby bar menu is small but great; the Wagyu Sliders and charcuterie board were both delicious. The wine list is fairly extensive as well. I dined at the society table for lunch on the day that I left and I got the Gumbo with jalapeño cornbread. This was very delicious; I do feel there should've been more than a few pieces of chopped up shrimp. My waitress was wonderful though and very kind as well as the hostess. For the days we were provided food by the resort for the work conference, I was very impressed! All of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner options were incredibly extensive, fresh, and delicious. The servers were very attentive and helpful. The room service menu although overpriced and included a $5 "delivery charge," is very extensive and tasty. For example, an omelet with toast (small salad included with the omelette), was almost $60 including tip. That being said, it was the best omelette I've ever had. The guest services for room service and the cleaners were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Evan! Do note that this is a cashless resort. There are a few shops on the first floor for souvenirs, basic necessities for traveling, and then an adorable little shop/café with ice cream, coffee, wine, snacks, and drinks. On to the room! I really enjoyed my room. I feel like for one person or even two, it's a pretty spacious room. The bed was very comfortable as well as pillows. They cleaned my room each day, and provided new towels. The bathroom was clean and a decent size for one person. All of the events that the hotel put on for our conference were outstanding. We had a welcome party and a beach party, and I was incredibly impressed. The food was delicious, the staff incredibly attentive and kind, and the music wonderful! The Don CeSar was the perfect place for our conference and I would highly recommend a company conference there. Between the delicious food, impeccable service, beautiful resort, and location right on the beach, I would recommend this spot for an event, quick getaway, or staycation.

The pool was a comfortable place to sit, though it was a little cool so we didn't get to swim. The central location is close to plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Parking was a breeze.

The pool deck is whimsical with floats and the beach is right across the street. What a treat. The jets in the spa (hot tub) are well placed on mid-lower back and ankles which was appreciated! I think the pool was salt water or least wasn't overly chlorinated and still seemed clean. Only concern was that the "hot tub" was not at all hot. It was slightly warm to room temp. Shouldn't it be 102 or even better 104 degrees? Overall- great experience. Keep up the great work with healthy restaurant food options and the positive staff members!

You have immediate access to the beach, pools, restaurants and a lot of fun activities that would be included in the resort fee you are charged.

Came back at 5pm and room still not ready but was comped $50 for the delay. Room was missing towels so we found the cleaning crew in hall to request towels. They didn't speak English but allowed us to help ourselves to the towel cart. Friendly employees always giving a smile but the entire place seemed understaffed. Room's floors were dirty as white socks revealed. Otherwise room was modern and remodeled. The resort is showing its age but all things considered, all of St. Pete's hotels and restaurants are showing their age. The bar on site had friendly staff, served great drinks and the food was of high quality which was an unexpected suprise. The food and drink is why I'm giving a 3 rating otherwise it would be a 2 for the hotel only.
