every aspect of my stay at the don cesar was absolutely amazing. the whole staff from the valet, restaurant staff, and beach hut attendants, and spa employee’s really went above and beyond with their customer service. i will definitely be returning and telling all my friends!

The main lobby entrance is on the upper level and requires use of above the road ramp to access. The main lobby also has several stairs to navigate when entering. It’s a challenging start to vacation if not prepared. The staff is very friendly and willing to assist. The beach is beautiful and relaxing.

This was our third time at this property. They did a great job recovering from the hurricane and everything looks great. The staff at this property is amazing and the food is great.
