Hotel Esencia lands a B Roch Rank. It is a decent option for owners of small dogs, though it comes with rules and a high price tag. Dogs are welcomed with a bed, real food and water bowls, their own dishware, waste bags and a toy, so you do not need to pack much. Dog food can be arranged, and spa treatments are available in your suite for an extra charge.
Access is limited. Dogs are allowed in the main house lounge but not in the bars, restaurants or on the terraces, and must be leashed whenever they are outside the room. At the pool and beach your dog has to stay in your arms or on your cabana, and swimming is not allowed. Dogs cannot be left alone in the room, so factor in the dog-sitting service if you want to head out.
There is a 22-pound weight limit, which rules out larger breeds, and a vaccination certificate is required on arrival. The fee is steep at $100 per night per dog, plus service and tax, with damage charged on top. In short, Esencia works for a small, well-behaved dog if you are happy to pay for the privilege and live with the leash and pool rules.
This hotel has been evaluated, ranked, and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world's first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel, and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels in order to fairly derive its rank.
