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.
