I had seen DC from my boat a few years ago and said that I wanted to stay there one time because it looked so regal from the Gulf of Mexico. We decided to do a stay-cation for our anniversary. I know it's supposed to be luxury resort accommodations and a historic venue. The property looks nice from a far. The common area has an art deco style to it, which gives it a historic feel. The room was clean. The AC was cold. The water was hot, The plumbing worked. The cable worked. The closet was tiny. The drawer storage was small. The bathroom was small. The entry hallway was tiny. The towels were unexpectedly thin for a lux resort. The robes were thick & warm. The pool & beach are the main draw. The pool had a good crowd during the day but was not over crowded. There was a high level observation deck between the pools for a great beach view. The beach scene was just like every other beach front hotel in Pinellas county. We used a kayak in the morning, which is free before 10. You would think for the $40 daily resort fee that it would be free all day but it ain't. There are wave runner rentals available if you want. I assumed the grounds would be spotless but were not. There was a big empty bag of Doritos on the ramp to the lot. It was big enough for the valet to see while driving but no one picked it up. There were empty drink glasses on the pillars. I brought it in to the front desk after walking by it 3X. For the price, I was underwhelmed. I won't return.

The Don Cesar sits on a beautiful piece of property with such a wonderful beach. The sand is so soft. The staff is wonderful and so helpful. The hallways and some of the rooms could use a fresh coat of paint. Don’t agree with the daily parking rate for self parking when you are a hotel guest paying to stay there.
