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.
