I was allowed to stay ,in a piece of American art work, and access all of its inner goodies ,and high quality amenities, and get a tan at the same time-The Don Cesar has a very good method of picking its associates, because people like Julian Vazquez, lead concierge, was our guardian angel during our stay-Julian advised us on several subjects, and steered us in the proper direction-thanks to all for a great time, and keep the porch light on, so we can find our way back 👍

Still under construction and remodeling from the last storm. We have stayed at the Don many times. Rates are higher than ever before while amenities or closed and most of the property inside is in dire need of updating and cleaning.

Great staff, beach access, towels, chairs & umbrella makes everything so convenient. Only thing is the water cooler by the beach should be refilled more often. It ran out early in the day.

Julian at the concierge is always top notch!! Jason and Ron at the front desk were a welcoming smile day and night! Baggage is still working on getting back in the swing of things? We loaded ourselves in and out of Uber which was unusual…we’ll give it benefit of the doubt they’re still working on being back in action after the hurricanes. It’s a joy to see Dan and Marissa behind the bar again!! Love the Don ❤️
