Most amazing hotel!!

Most amazing stay at any hotel that we’ve been to. Have to ring their bell and wait for their staff to let us in. Totally enclosed property and only guests can dine there. Rooms were comfortable, very quiet, can get coffee or food delivered to your room (no charge all inclusive), breakfast and dinner selections were plentiful, all delicious food. We can’t rave enough about the staff. They make you feel like you’re part of their family. We stayed 6 nights and could have stayed longer.

Fantastic hotel!

What a special place! Cirqa is gorgeous. The attention to detail in unmatched. The staff is great. The restaurant's dishes are delicious. The whole design is beautiful. We absolutely loved our stay and would love going back! The location is also very good. A very short walk to the main square and so many restaurants. Very safe.

It is a beautiful hotel, and the food is truly amazing. The surroundings are not that great. You are in the heart of downtown, the people look a bit sketchy. Best not to walk around at night time.
