Beach House Suites by The Don Cesar

St Pete Beach, Tampa and Clearwater/St Pete

Star rating

The hotel

The cool little sister to the famous The Don CeSar Hotel, Beach House Suites gives you access to all the luxuries of the main hotel, with the sumptuousness of a more secluded all-suite beach retreat. Taking its inspiration from the sands, this seaside sanctuary offers beach life in abundance, with a shorefront pool, ‘sun and surf’ activities and beach games. Its poolside tiki bar provides sunbathing snacks, but you also get full access to the dining and drinking venues at The Don CeSar Hotel, including its ice cream shop; The Rowe Bar, with coastal cuisine and cocktails served on a deck over sand dunes; and Maritana Grille, voted one of USA Today’s 10 best restaurants.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience during my stay at this hotel. From start to finish, everything was seamless and exceeded my expectations. The staff at the hotel were warm, attentive, and always willing to help, making me feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and luxury. A special mention goes out to the transportation team—especially Raymond and Patrick. Both drivers went above and beyond to make every trip smooth, safe, and enjoyable. They were always punctual, professional, and courteous, with a genuine kindness that made every ride pleasant. They shared helpful local tips, made sure I was comfortable, and truly added to the overall positive experience of my trip. Between the excellent accommodations and the outstanding service from Raymond and Patrick, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I highly recommend this hotel and their transportation services to anyone visiting—you’ll be in great hands! Read less

We went to the Don Cesar for my wife’s 60th birthday. I called ahead of time to see if they did anything special special for an occasion like that they said yes and they would make note of that with our reservation. We received nothing. we got there on Thursday and left on Sunday, although everyone that you run into there is very pleasant, when it came to cleaning our room, it was done once. Every day I had to ask for extra towels, one day, washcloths. Also, the water and coffee were never replenished.when you arrive at the front desk they offer you a glass of champagne, on Sunday the two glasses were still sitting on the table. On to the swimming pool! The two girls that I had wait on me and my wife every day, I believe their name are Jackie and Katie, where the bomb!!😁 not only did they seem happy to be there. They were very, very good at their job. They remembered my name, they remembered what I like to drink, and it seemed like they came around about every three minutes. It didn’t matter if you ordered a drink or a glass of water they got it for you right away. Great job ladies!! oh yeah, one more thing! They worked right through a rain storm!😂 onto the shuttle drivers and for those of you that don’t know they have a free shuttle that will take you a couple miles in each direction. The one guy‘s name was Patrick and the older gentleman that we had in the evening, I don’t remember his name, they were both excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. we tipped them well😊. To conclude, I expected more for the money. If we ever go back, it would be because of the service at the pool and the shuttle drivers. Read less
