The stomping ground of celebrities past and present (think F Scott Fitzgerald in earlier years and Justin Timberlake more recently), The Don CeSar Hotel is regarded as Florida’s legendary Pink Palace. Registered with the Historic Hotels of America, it effortlessly blends the Great Gatsby era of pampering with modern European grandeur. Picture-perfect in every way, the beach is a wonderful place to relax or indulge in a variety of exciting water sports – kite surfing anyone? There are also 2 beautifully furnished, beachfront swimming pools to take advantage of, so grab a good book and some sun cream and enjoy, or book in for a pampering session at the spa perhaps. Dine around The Don at one of the many restaurants or lounges, from al fresco breakfast at Sea Porch to an exquisite evening at Maritana Grille - or take in the stunning sunset views with coastal cuisine and cool cocktails at Rowe Bar.

“Great Getaway!”

Sep 21, 2025mcselby27

My husband and I were there celebrating our 40th anniversary of where we got engaged. It brought back a lot of memories. The renovations are very nice. The only negative I have is that their Maritana restaurant was closed for renovations and there was not a restaurant in the hotel where you could have a Romantic dinner. A bit disappointing but we made our time there special. Other than that hotel is very clean and the staff is wonderful.

A fabulous facility with a beautiful beach and wonderful pools. Staff is very helpful. You have to try one of their pina coladas.

“Better hotels arround”

The rooms are extremely outdated. Super small and I woke up with a stiff neck. I could hear the door all night. Lotions and soaps smell horrible. From desk was nice. I wouldn’t recommend the spa. We went to the jacuzzi and in the 15 min I was there got check by staff every 5 min. They told me I must get out if another guess comes in. They are weird! I did not feel comfortable at all. Beach and pool was clean and I didn’t feel uncomfortable like the sauna spot. Overall, i say don’t spend your money here if you want renovated and updated. Windows from 4th floor not clean. Can’t even take a decent picture of the beautiful sunset from room.
