No Weight LimitColina Secreta - Glamping and Villas Dog Friendly Review
Colina Secreta - Glamping and Villas holds a respectable B Roch Rank, and for dog owners the appeal is immediate: your dog is welcome in the bar, the restaurant, the terrace, the living room and all other common areas of the property. There is no weight or size limit, so dogs of any build can stay, and the hotel says yes to almost every room, with only Bird's Room excluded. There is also an outdoor space with running water next to reception, handy for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach, which many guests take their dogs to.
Day to day, the hotel can provide a dog bed along with real food and water bowls, and poop bags are supplied so you are not caught short on walks. Staff recommend Playa Cocles, which has a wide sandy area, and Playa Grande near the restaurant El Refugio as another good spot with plenty of room to walk. In exceptional circumstances they have looked after a guest's dog for a short while if owners needed to step out, and they keep the contact of a trusted vet who also treats their own dogs. The dog fee is $15 per night per dog, and there is no damage deposit, though any damage caused during the stay will be assessed and charged accordingly.
The main restriction to plan around is that dogs may not be left alone in the room, so this is not the place for owners who need to step out for long stretches without their dog. There is no dedicated dog space or garden for dogs to use freely, no dog-walking service, no grooming arranged, and no toys or treats provided. This suits an owner who wants their dog by their side throughout the stay, enjoying the beach, the common areas and the relaxed welcome across the property, rather than one who needs structured dog care, a private outdoor run, or extended periods apart from their dog.
