Cirque St. Armands Beachside

Cirque St. Armands Beachside

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful, clean, modern art-deco Circus theme to celebrate Ringling Brothers. We loved it! It was really done well! Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the pool was gorgeous and relaxing! Only a 5-minute walk to Armand Circle. We took the shuttle over to their sister property and stayed on the beach one day. Loved all the velvet couches and chairs in the lobby as well. Great place, highly recommend!"
