“Fantastic spa!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

My sister and I had treatments at the spa, but were not staying at the hotel, so this review only refers to the spa. And it is a great spa, although you certainly are paying for what you get. The service, facilities, and treatments were all superb (although my sister was not fully satisfied with her facial, we both had fantastic massages). Great sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and roof-top sun deck overlooking the Gulf. All very luxurious and relaxing. Could not ask for more in a one-day spa get-away, except perhaps for it to be more affordable.

“Overpriced....below average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

Location is great, hotel public areas are beautiful. The bell staff are excellent. The front desk staff and FOM should brush up on their Customer Service training. The rooms are in terrible need of a refurb. The bed was like sleeping on a bale of hay and the inexpensive bed linens felt like a tablecloth. The decor is mis-matched and was not at all to what I expected from a Lowes branded hotel. We had a very disappointing experience trying to make our reservation and overall, I just was not impressed by this hotel. For the considerable amount we paid per night I do not feel like this hotel is worth it.

“Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. We had an ocean front one bedroom suite with a balcony. The Don CeSar hotel is right on the beach. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly. The beach at the hotel was gorgeous. It was our first visit to St. Pete's beach and it won't be our last. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from. We would definitely stay at the Don CeSar again. The rooms are clean and bright and the service is top notch.

“Stellar service at beachfront hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

Service at this hotel was top-notch from the moment we arrived until departure. As I sat waiting for my ride to the airport during my departure, the bellman unexpectedly brought me a bottle of water. These touches are all a part of the hotel's experience. The staff were all amazingly friendly and helpful. The hotel is located on a gorgeous beach. The rooms were well appointed and the housekeeping staff had a keen eye for detail-nothing that needed to be replaced went unnoticed. Great stay!
