Gulf Coast Getaway

6 Days / 5 Nights

Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places the luxurious 277-room Don CeSar Hotel is situated on white-sand St. Pete Beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Opened in 1928, and fully restored over the past 30 years, this iconic resort has an opulent Gatsby-era vibe, lushly landscaped grounds, and a long tradition of excellent service. Famous guests here are too numerous to name (Babe Ruth and Al Capone were regulars in their day). Rooms are modern and bright, with elegant beach-style décor. Guests can select various suite options, with pool and beach views and six dining venues. The Spa Oceana here is simply gorgeous, where patrons in luxurious bathrobes complete their experience with a long cool drink on the rooftop deck, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. On this program you’ll experience the Don Cesar, have a beach party with your group, visit the Chihuly and Salvador Dali museums and pair your wines with two dinners, including a meal at nationally renowned Bern’s Steak House in Tampa. TIP: Saltwater game fishing is excellent in the Gulf of Mexico. What’s not to like?
