My boyfriend and I absolutely loved the food and beach aspect of our trip to the Don Cesar. However, the staff was somewhat snooty and phony. We felt as if they expected us to graciously tip them for everything, which we did anyway but that was annoying. Because my boyfriend and I dont bring our wallets to the pool or beach, we felt we got attitude from the bar tenders when asked about our IDs (even though we are 23 years old). I felt somewhat scrutinized by the staff. The fact that the hotel allows dogs bothers me because a dog in our hallway was constantly barking. Those are my only complaints. The area, beach, pools and food were top notch.
