No Weight LimitKimpton Kitalay Samui Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Kitalay Samui holds an outstanding A+ Roch Rank, and it is easy to see why. This Koh Samui resort welcomes dogs of all sizes and weights with no fee and no damage deposit, making it one of the most generous propositions a travelling dog owner could hope for. Furry guests are welcome in essential rooms, suites and villas, so you are not confined to a single room category, and you may bring up to two dogs per room. The resort also partners with Dog and Cat Samui rescues, a local charity, which speaks to a genuine culture of care for animals on the island.
In the room your dog will find a dedicated dog bed, real food and water bowls, and poop bags are provided for walks. Toys, pet strollers and grooming kits are available, and staff may well have treats in their pocket for your dog. A dedicated pet path rings the resort, giving your dog a proper place to stretch its legs, and there is a pet concierge who can offer insight on where to take your dog, along with tips and assistance. You can wash your dog in your room after outings. Dogs are welcome in the restaurants, the bar and on the terrace and patio, so your dog can stay at your side through meals and drinks. The resort also keeps emergency vet numbers for nearby clinics.
There are a few absences worth noting. The hotel does not provide a dog walking service, cannot arrange a dog sitter or professional grooming, and does not sell dog food on site. Dogs are not allowed in the swimming pools, and the hotel asks that your dog be crated if left alone in the room and during housekeeping service, so you will need a suitable crate or to keep your dog with you. Dogs are not permitted in the gardens. That said, Kimpton Kitalay Samui suits almost any dog owner, whether you travel with a small companion or a large breed, and the zero fee policy makes longer stays particularly attractive. Only owners who need regular professional grooming, a sitting service or poolside time with their dog should look elsewhere.
