Experienced planners will help with customized menus that celebrate the local food culture, stunning décor and entertainment. Guests can enjoy inspired gathering spaces, events and culinary team and the beachfront location that have made the Pink Palace a destination since 1928.

“The Don Cesar makes a striking first impression with its pink facade and beachfront location, yet some aspects seem to fall short of expectations given the price point. While the historic architecture and sunset views from the rooftop bar remain a draw, travelers should weigh the reported inconsistencies in service and room quality. Ultimately, the hotel's iconic charm might appeal most to those prioritizing location and aesthetics over flawless execution.”
