"Rooms still reeked of cigarette smoke, even though they are 100% against it. Whatever place this was before them clearly allowed smoking in the rooms. You know how putrid that can be, once a room is smoked in, it'll never be the same. Room keys unprogrammed themselves every morning so we had to go back to the front desk to have them programmed again. Very inconvenient. Shower was sufficient, water flow was strong! Nice surprise. Bed was TOO SOFT. Very plush and uncomfy. Can feel where other's have slept in because there were springs that were obviously too compressed. Barely slept. The Tiki bar was cute, small area, but the patio where the entertainment is was fairly large. Good selection of drinks! Bartenders were fun and personable. Just remember, you're on camera at the bar so behave yourselves! Overall, decent place, great price."

"Loved the hotel, pool, staff and location"

"No beach view"

"A would love to say our stay was terrible to keep this hidden gem to ourselves but can not lie Hotel was one of the nicest cleanest quiet facilities I have ever stayed Every one of the staff was absolutely great and plan on utilizing as a long term stay option is in the hub of everything"

"Very disappointing experience at The Don CeSar. The price per night is high, but the reality of the hotel is completely different from what is shown online and on social media. The overall condition of the property felt poorly maintained, outdated, and far below the level expected for a hotel with this reputation and pricing. The room cleanliness was unacceptable, especially the bathroom, which was honestly disgusting when we arrived. It made the stay uncomfortable from the very beginning. For the amount of money being charged, basic cleanliness and proper maintenance should never be an issue. The advertising creates expectations that the hotel simply does not meet in real life. The only positive part of our experience was Nick at check-in. He was very attentive, professional, and kind from the moment we arrived, and truly the only person who made us feel welcomed. Overall, very disappointing and absolutely not worth the price."

"The beach bar and wait-staff was great. Rooms were decent, dated and redone. Bed was SUPER cozy and pillows were amazing. The pool area wasn't very clean, specifically the hot-tub. Access to the beach was AMAZING."

"Great hotel, location, and experience! Hot tub and pool were relaxing. Hotel is close to everything. "

"I stayed in the motel section, as it was the only room available and it was very clean and nice modern elevated style. The Drift Kotchen and bar is beautiful with great views. The service was very good all around. "

"Akin to a motel 8. Really unhygienic, loud despite promising quiet rooms, and terribly inconsiderate, rude staff. "
