This was one of our favorite stays. Beach right across the road with beach access point. Circle was a 5 min walk with dining and shopping. Clean and quiet and safe. Quick trip to the airport. Nothing bad to say.

Staff was exceptional. Rooms were great and what a view of the ocean and beach. It was a quiet hotel but nice to be able to take shuttle to sister hotel- Lido Beach Resort if we wanted some more fun by pool and beach. Loved the location and walking to St. Armand’s circle every night.

Great location, great staff, spotless! Get a beach view room. Walking distance to St. Armands. Can use sister property just down the beach where they have beach chairs, umbrellas, 2 pools, and big tiki bar. Good place to watch your sporting events. But I would stay at the Cirque St. Armands Beachside as it is quieter and more intimate.

Wonderful boutique hotel with a circus theme. Just opened so all the rooms are new. Lots of thought went into things like a place to put luggage, sliding bathroom doors for space, great bathroom. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Bar has great bartenders for unusual drinks, and the restaurant has really good breakfasts. Next to the public beach and if you want chairs, etc., the sister property is a 3 minute walk away.

Everything in the hotel still looks new & clean. It was a great surprise to learn that we had access to the beach resort nearby (a 10 minute walk if you don't need the shuttle). Super close walk to St. Armands Circle. Looking forward to visiting again someday.
