Resort Details
- Beacon Pool Bar & LookoutLet us guide the way to fun in the sun at the brand-new Beacon Pool Bar & Lookout. Inspired by The Don CeSar’s legendary status as a nautical marker, the completely renovated bar and grill offers poolside bites like the Grilled Mahi Sandwich and Pulled Chicken Tostada, an extensive selection of beach-inspired cocktails such as the raspberry lemon Beacon of Light, and a rooftop lookout boasting unmatched sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. When you see The Beacon Pool Bar & Lookout from a distance, you know you’ve arrived somewhere legendary.
- MaritanaThe Maritana Restaurant at the Don CeSar remains one of the greater St Pete area’s best AAA 4 Diamond Dining experiences. Similar to the Don Lobby Bar, the completely renovated dining room transports you to a glamorous and timeless era of elegance and shimmer. Maritana, the Spanish gypsy from the opera Don CeSar de Bazan and later revamped as Maritana by William Wallace, is the foundation for our coastal and seductive dining experience located in the heart of the luxurious hotel. Each dish is hand-crafted and features food sustainably sourced from regional farms and fishermen and includes coastal inspired cuisine prepared by Chef de Cuisine Emily Ferrari. An extensive wine list, delectable desserts and stunning ambiance round out your experience at one of USA Today's 10Best restaurants.
- Rowe BarElevate your beach bar game with some time at The Don's gulf front bar. Grab a hand-crafted cocktail or craft beer and kick back on the expansive deck stretching out over the sand dunes. Grab a seat near a modern fire pit on the pavilion and order up some delicious bites, perfect for sharing. Take your pick from the tuna tacos, goat cheese fritters and porch burger. Named after Thomas Rowe, the legendary founder of the Pink Palace, Rowe Bar is redefining the next generation of St. Pete Beach bars with cool libations, vibrant coastal cuisine and an elevated sunset experience.
- Society TableSince 1928, family and friends have come together for laughs and memories around our table at the Don CeSar. 93 years later, and after a complete 2021 revitalization, the all-new Society Table pays homage to hanging up your hat from the daily grind and enjoying life! Dive into all-day Florida Gulf fare in a seaside setting, offering delectable savory handhelds, fresh coastal filets, and inland ranch chops. With indoor and outdoor seating, Society Table is the perfect place to gather for a relaxed breakfast, lunch or dinner. Host a private event at Gatsby, our exclusive upstairs dining space for up to 30 guests. Experience the Society Table demonstration room, where chef-led activations and tastings show guests “The perfect pairing of cheese and charcuterie”, “How to make your own at home truffles”, or “The secret to making the perfect frosting”.
- The Lobby BarA complete transformation in 2020 have elevated this gathering space and celebration room to a true tropical oasis that transports you back to the tropics of the 1920’s. A grand entry into the space is accented with the brass and emerald shimmer of the Roaring Twenties, combined with modern twists and elevated service. This makes the Lobby Bar the epicenter of life at the Don as well as St Pete Beach’s sophisticated gathering spot. The Don CeSar’s Lobby Bar is energetic and vibrant, with playful touches such as a palm leaf print wallcovering and a quintessential, custom-designed glass bar cart that serves period-inspired drinks. In 2020 the bar was repositioned to the back of the lobby in order to open the space, and features mesmerizing wood-like tiles that draw visitors in. Guests can enjoy gourmet small plates, specialty cocktails hand-crafted by our expert mixologist, and live jazz and lounge music, as well as some good old-fashioned camaraderie with friends both old and new!
- Uncle Andy’s MarketFor over 40 years guests and local families have been enjoying the 1950’s style Uncle Andy’s Ice Cream Parlor at the Don CeSar. In 2020 the property repositioned Uncle Andy’s to a fresh new location in the Don Boutiques, and enhanced the experience into a full market experience offering Lickity Split Ice Creams, Shakes, Pastries, and illy Gourmet Coffee, as well as grab and go food and beverage items including beer, wine and spirits, a fun candy wall for kids of all ages, and convenient sundries. The all-new Uncle Andy’s still has a wonderful feel of 1950’s ice cream shop, with a fresh new level of product and service. The perfect stop for morning quick start, gourmet grab, or an evening nightcap to take back to your room.

Fun in the sun excursion with tweens!
We went for lunch and rented a cabana to have a beach day excursion with our tween neices in town for spring break from the tundra. We didn't day pass because I live 20 minutes away and have a pool. LOL!! But would have if I didnt. The service is top-notch. Our server at lunch was super friendly! The dessert was incredible!! Then off to the beach. The guys who set up the cabana and beach chairs were super friendly. Our beach server was great, and there was every time our cups got empty. It was like she had a camera watching. She was that good! Highly recommended spending the $$!!! It's worth every penny!

Spring break 2026
We had an absolutely amazing experience staying at The Don CeSar in St. Pete Beach with our family! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The drinks were fabulous, perfectly crafted and refreshing. The atmosphere was relaxing and not too “spring break”. What truly stood out was the incredible wait staff. Every team member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. The activities for the kids were great! Our kids were constantly engaged, happy, and excited, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable for us. This was a five-star experience all around, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable getaway!

Our favorite St. Pete Beach spot
We love this place! Have been here a few times now. It’s our favorite winter escape from New England. It’s only our second day but it feels like it just gets better every time we come here. Our room is beautiful! The staff is so friendly. The complimentary Rose upon check-in was a nice touch. Our favorite staff member Kate was quick to have us set up by the pool and make the past two days so relaxing for us. The restaurant recommendation from the bartenders that sent us to Pia’s last night was so appreciated! We loved it! Just everything you could hope for when you arrive for a few days of R&R. - Mike & Jen
