"My third trip to this resort. Had a wonderful stay and every staff member I encountered were very helpful. Splurge on the gulf lanai villa rooms. You are so close to all the amenities and worth every penny. Beautifully kept beach and pools."

"Great breakfast!"

"Clean room and nice , patient staff . Comfortable bed and pillow. No smell in the room and in the hallway. The area where the hotel is located is very safe and walkable and near the restaurant . I didn’t see any homeless people the area. "

"Not sure but they billed credit card twice At airport hopefully 1 charge goes away "

"The pool's were clean and the area's to sit/lay around it. Our room was clean and comfortable. I was very Happy to see that our room had a ceiling fan. One pleased hot-flasher, ha. All ofthe staff, was truly very pleasant 10 out of 10!"

"} I booked The Don CeSar to celebrate my husband’s birthday, but the experience was very disappointing. Our room had multiple issues, including a malfunctioning AC that left it uncomfortably cold and lack of consistent hot water. Late at night, an unknown individual knocked on our door offering towels we never requested, which felt unsettling and raised safety concerns. We also had a confirmed dinner reservation at Society Table that was mishandled. After waiting, we were told our reservation had been overlooked. Meanwhile, other parties — including those without reservations — were seated ahead of us. Bar service during this time was also unprofessional. Due to the combination of these issues, we chose to leave early. While the property itself is beautiful, the service and overall experience did not meet expectations, especially for a special occasion"

"Pool was very nice. Had some hardware issues that prevented a pool food order to be missed. Printer was down and so no tickets were hand written. One employee was very rude… forgot who the customer was and made excuses instead of apologies. She was a black spot on the one night stay. Front desk was awesome. "

"We had the BEST stay at Pelican Post in Bradenton Beach! The location truly can’t be beat—just a short walk to all the bars, restaurants, and the beach, yet still tucked away enough to feel private and relaxing. The private pool and hot tub were such a luxury—honestly felt like our own little oasis after a day out. Everything was clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully set up to make the stay easy and comfortable. Whether you’re looking for a fun weekend with friends or a laid-back getaway, this place hits the mark. We loved being able to walk everywhere and then come back to unwind in peace. Highly recommend—can’t wait to come back! "

"Excellent.4 night stay. Located near different restaurants and gast stations Although they were still renovating , our room was an absolutely beauty. Julian and Brittney were so helpfull. Enjoyed the pool too. I was informed that in 8 months it will be all done with renovation. I know it will be even more beautifull. "
