I stayed at the Don CeSar for four nights during a work conference, and had a great experience from…read morethe time I arrived and the time I left. The resort is huge but not overwhelming. The views are beautiful, and the location is right on the beach. There are plenty of spaces in the lobby for working, plenty of meeting rooms (or ball rooms if you're there for a formal event), and areas to just relax or work. The resort provides live music various days of the week as well. I will say that I was surprised about the lack of dining options. There is a lobby bar (which doesn't open until 3pm), and just two restaurant options. Maritana is only open a few days a week and not open until 5:30pm, although the lobby bar does serve a few small plates. The Society Table has a bar within their restaurant (Rowe Bar I believe), and I experienced both as they both have different menus. The lobby bar menu is small but great; the Wagyu Sliders and charcuterie board were both delicious. The wine list is fairly extensive as well. I dined at the society table for lunch on the day that I left and I got the Gumbo with jalapeño cornbread. This was very delicious; I do feel there should've been more than a few pieces of chopped up shrimp. My waitress was wonderful though and very kind as well as the hostess. For the days we were provided food by the resort for the work conference, I was very impressed! All of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner options were incredibly extensive, fresh, and delicious. The servers were very attentive and helpful. The room service menu although overpriced and included a $5 "delivery charge," is very extensive and tasty. For example, an omelet with toast (small salad included with the omelette), was almost $60 including tip. That being said, it was the best omelette I've ever had. The guest services for room service and the cleaners were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Evan! Do note that this is a cashless resort. There are a few shops on the first floor for souvenirs, basic necessities for traveling, and then an adorable little shop/café with ice cream, coffee, wine, snacks, and drinks. On to the room! I really enjoyed my room. I feel like for one person or even two, it's a pretty spacious room. The bed was very comfortable as well as pillows. They cleaned my room each day, and provided new towels. The bathroom was clean and a decent size for one person. All of the events that the hotel put on for our conference were outstanding. We had a welcome party and a beach party, and I was incredibly impressed. The food was delicious, the staff incredibly attentive and kind, and the music wonderful! The Don CeSar was the perfect place for our conference and I would highly recommend a company conference there. Between the delicious food, impeccable service, beautiful resort, and location right on the beach, I would recommend this spot for an event, quick getaway, or staycation.

This is a beach resort that is very nice. The rooms are ok somewhat dated. The restaurants are…read moreEXCELLENT, but expensive, which is probably expected. The service in this hotel is very good overall. The pools and the beach are superb. We chose this resort as a special anniversary vacation, and this is part of the lower review. We ultimately felt the hotel discount promotion and phone sales was misleading. Ambiguous communication led us to believe we would receive a free night, however we later realized and were told that the discount was already built in to our price, although no sign of discount was found anywhere on our invoice. I'm self employed and I've managed business for 35 years, and I've not seen discounts that don't show on an invoice. Se beware of promotional discount offers as it may not be what you expect, and you'll be left with no way to disprove the phantom discount because it's not on your invoice, apparently is just spoken. Overall service was very good. We had a minor blip in the maritana, which was the wrong dessert brought to us, and presented as "happy anniversary" with a chocolate that said that, but was strangely charged to us. The waitress handled it like a pro. I would advise the chef to either ignore birthdays and anniversaries and that sort of thing, or offer a small free dessert. But definitely don't bring out a "happy anniversary" dessert then charge for it. Also had overcooked hard poached eggs at the society table - no big deal just no runny yolk. If not for the price, who cares? But with such a great menu and fantastic chef, they should get eggs right. No discount offered. But I ate it so... All of our food was great, and really well developed and complete dishes as if it were Michelin rated. Cheers to the chef. Just two very minor fails. Overall it was a nice stay but we won't go back mainly because ultimately they didn't step up over a $600ish discrepancy over a 5 night stay. Look at my reviews. It's very rare I don't write 5 stars. I'm not one of those people that gives a bunch of bad reviews. The highlight of this resort is the beach, the pools, and the menu. Service is good overall. So definitely some good.

I feel like that's most beach resorts that have rooms with doors outside. I thought the room was very comfortable and appreciated the kitchenette area. The lobby area is very nice and the couple of cocktails I did get were balanced and flavorful. Is this a place I would go to again? Probably not but it wasn't bad at all. You have immediate access to the beach, pools, restaurants and a lot of fun activities that would be included in the resort fee you are charged.

Great customer service If you love vintage cars - this is your go to place - I promise. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a very minor issue with our keycard but it was immediately resolved literally within 5 minutes. Oh, and did I mention happy hour??? FREE beer and wine is never a bad thing!

The drinks, while expensive, were good. We were able to get a 3pm check out. The activities were nice. Myself and 2 other ladies came for a girls weekend. (Fri-mon) It was $1200 total and I feel like that was waaaay too much for the state of this resort. It is run down and doesn't live up to that price point. I had a great time, I would go back with my family, as long as the price per night reflected a serious discounted rate from $1209 for 3 nights.

It was near the bottom of all of the HGI's that we've slept in. To be clear, it was goo but not at the quality that I had expected. However, it would be rated higher if there was a sofa or a second, but comfortable, chair. The gym was nice. Be prepared to pay $25-$50 for parking. The hotel is centrally located in St. Pete Beach and a quick 10-15 minute drive to St. Pete. There are numerous restaurants within a 10-minute walk. You can access the beach from the hotel. All totaled, I'd go there again.

I really enjoyed my stay last year, and I always try to stay positive. However, I'm disappointed…read morethat I wasn't able to get an ocean-view room again for my upcoming stay. Since we're staying for over a week, the ocean-view rooms were only available for two or three days, not for the full length of our stay. I ended up booking a partial ocean-view room instead, but it honestly makes me sad. I also asked if we could have a room near the end of the hallway, closer to the ocean, but I was told that nothing could be done because the room had already been assigned. This was the same situation last year as well. Saint Pete Beach is beautiful, and although there aren't many nice brand-name hotels in the area, we choose Hilton because it's pet-friendly. Other than not being able to secure an ocean-view room, hopefully everything will be nice. Additional reviews after checking out, As always, the front desk was friendly, and Janet and Capria at the pool were especially welcoming. Housekeeping was very disappointing during our nine-day stay. They didn't wipe the tables or the desk at all. I wouldn't have minded about the desk, but we ate and had drinks at the table, so there were stains that were never cleaned, not even once. The only things they did in the room were empty the trash and make the bed. They also didn't clean our shower or bathroom sink for the entire nine days; they only emptied the trash and replaced the towels. Four stars or three stars I don't know.

We recently stayed at The Saint Hotel, and I want to start by saying the property itself was very…read moreclean. The room was well-maintained, and the boutique atmosphere is appealing. Unfortunately, the noise level significantly impacted our stay. We were in Room 28, and directly behind the room is a hallway used by staff from the upstairs bar. Throughout the first night, we heard a heavy door repeatedly slamming and staff using rolling carts to transport trash. The noise continued until about 3:00 a.m., making it very difficult to sleep. The next morning, I expressed my concerns to the front desk. He was polite, apologized, and said he would pass the information along. However, the noise resumed again the following night. Around 11:30 p.m., I stepped into the hallway and observed someone pulling trash on one of the carts; they did not appear interested in engaging when I tried to address it. Closer to midnight, after another loud door slam, I spoke with a different staff member who was very receptive and respectful. After that conversation, the noise level did decrease. I understand that hotel operations continue behind the scenes, but for a property positioned as an upscale boutique experience, I would expect better late-night noise control -- especially in rooms directly adjacent to service areas. The hotel has a lot of potential, and the cleanliness was excellent. However, due to the repeated overnight noise disruption, I would be hesitant to stay in that location of the property again.

The property itself is so much fun. It was recently remodeled and was done in a cute South Beach art deco style. It has a small bright pool and hot tub, as well as an outdoor tiki bar. The room had a king bed, modern bathroom, big screen TV, and small kitchenette. We got two complimentary alcoholic drinks upon check-in. The hotel also has a great second story restaurant and bar attached to it which we ate at on our first night there. Highly recommend a stay here.

Room's floors were dirty as white socks revealed. Otherwise room was modern and remodeled. The resort is showing its age but all things considered, all of St. Pete's hotels and restaurants are showing their age. The bar on site had friendly staff, served great drinks and the food was of high quality which was an unexpected suprise. The food and drink is why I'm giving a 3 rating otherwise it would be a 2 for the hotel only.
