Lido Beach with a pool!
"What a neat place, we stayed poolside and met some lovely guests. The room was very clean, though dated, and the bed was as clean and comfortable as any five-star hotel would offer. The staff seemed happy in their work and the facility reflected this in its cleanliness. Hope to stay again ..."

The whole vibe of the Don Cesar was that true get-away resort stay where you feel pampered and special. The property is unique and classic with a retro vibe to it. The pools are relaxing and the pool-side service was was awesome - albeit expensive. The beach is lovely and the sand is like powdered sugar. I highly recommend-

The bedroom was fine with comfortable beds, a heatpump, great shower. The bathroom was tiny with poor lighting. The closet doors kept coming off the track. The kitchen was inadequate.

It wasn’t a pleasant experience we stayed for four days and the room didn’t have a refrigerator, they also didn’t clean the bathroom well after the last people so there was chew on the floor. The towels was never changed. I didn’t appreciate the fact that they didn’t care enough it was my birthday and I spend a good amount of money on the stay. Not going to stay there again.
