My adult daughter and I spent four days at The Don in March. Was the perfect quiet getaway. Nicely updated since last visit 17 years ago! Everyone, especially the beach/bar staff was super friendly and helpful. Spent majority of time on soft white sand beach with a good book, and unique and delicious cocktails. Enjoyed the live music in lobby bar and poolside. The only negative was the overpriced and blah food in hotel restaurants. Better options in St Petersburg or down Gulf Blvd. Will definitely be back sooner than 17 years!
