Just came here for brunch, booked on Open Table, our reservation was for 11:30. Upon arrival, we were told they were no longer serving brunch even though nothing states on Open Table brunch ends at 11 (photo attached). After we ordered off the lunch menu, we waited over an hour for our appetizers which were cold when we got them, even though the waitress told us the kitchen was "backed up". Same thing for the food. 4 of the entrees were sent back due to being cold/ unappetizing and we reordered different items. They did end up comping majority of the meal, however overall horrible experience . Save yourself the time and enjoyable experience and don't come here.

Hand made tortillas???

Half the menu is not available. Arrived at 12:10, now 12:50 and we are still waiting for the only available food, burger and turkey wrap. Good just arrived, burger is pretty standard. The turkey wrap has some black residue on the tortilla. They said the tortillas are hand made... really?? Revised: They didn't charge for the wrap. The server was good. Hopefully just caught this place at a bad time, Tuesday's are not a great day for dining out.

This was a major disappointment. Food was terrible. Drinks were small. Noise was loud-not from crowd but kids. Just a bad experience.

Does it offer on the beach lunch dining?

Not ON the beach, but Yes, great beach views from outdoor seating. And the Mexican place there does too, with a great view!

The counter service was friendly and helpful. Our food came quickly and nice and hot. We started with some peel and eat shrimp and fish dip. The fish dip was the star. They really do it right with their mayo to fish ratio. Highly recommend. For dinner, I got grouper on a salad and my husband got the cheeseburger and coleslaw. Everything was so good for a little hole in the wall beach eatery. Highly recommend stopping by!

You can walk up in your swimwear and it's 100% appropriate so you don't have to worry about getting dressed (and possibly your entire family) to get some eats. I ordered the shrimp quesadilla and my friend got the mahi fish tacos. Both of us got the pina coladas. I will say I wasn't super impressed with the shrimp quesadilla because of the amount of shrimp and that it was made with cheddar cheese. The pina colada was just ok - if they have an option for a floater, I'll be choosing that option next time. The menu itself had other great options so I'll just have to try something else next time to see what these other reviews are raving about. Overall, the items I got weren't spectacular or something you HAVE to have. But if you are on the beach, didn't bring food, and are really hungry, it gets the job done.

The Don CeSar is easily one of my favorite hotels in all of Florida. My husband and I travel quite…read morea bit, and this hotel truly delivers when it comes to customer service. We stayed in a Junior Suite with a balcony, and had such a wonderful experience from beginning to end. From the moment we arrived, the valet and front desk staff were welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. At the pool bar, Andrea and her coworker (I wish I had gotten his name!) were fantastic. They were efficient and friendly, gave us great recommendations for places to go, and shared so much helpful information about the hotel. That level of service continued throughout our entire stay. We enjoyed the bars, restaurants, gift shops, pool, and of course the beautiful beach. I especially love that hotel guests receive complimentary beach chairs and an umbrella that are set up for you, it makes spending the day at the beach so easy and relaxing. Housekeeping deserves a special mention because they were phenomenal. Of all the hotels we've stayed at, this housekeeping team really stood out. Every day they made sure we had everything we needed, including fresh towels, toiletries, bottled water, and even turndown service. Those little details make such a difference. The hotel itself is beautiful and full of history and charm, but it's the people and the service that really make it special. I honestly didn't want to leave. Whoever is managing this property is doing an excellent job, because the attention to detail and level of hospitality are noticeable throughout the entire hotel. We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to coming back.

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.
