One&Only Portonovi
Herceg-Novi, Montenegro · 5 Star Hotel
One&Only Portonovi Dog Friendly Review
One&Only Portonovi holds an acceptable C Roch Rank, and for owners weighing up a stay in Herceg-Novi it is worth understanding why. This is a resort that has clearly thought about canine guests beyond the bare minimum, with a dedicated dog space and a garden set aside for their use, plus a terrace where your dog is welcome to join you. The team is experienced in welcoming guests travelling with pets, which should translate into a calmer, more knowledgeable welcome than you would get at a hotel simply tolerating dogs, and there are green spaces and parks nearby to explore once you have settled in. The hotel also supports a dog charity, a nice touch that speaks to a genuine underlying ethos rather than a bolted-on policy, and cats are welcome too if your household travels with more than one species.
Day to day, your dog will have a proper bed waiting along with real food and water bowls rather than makeshift substitutes, and staff can offer guidance on local walking routes so you are not simply guessing where to head each morning. For dog-sitting and grooming the hotel recommends trusted local providers rather than offering them in-house, and most rooms are set up to accommodate dogs, so your choice will not be too constrained. Dogs may be left alone in the room, which gives you welcome flexibility during the stay. Expect to pay EUR 55 per pet, per night, a fee that is reasonable when weighed against the bed and bowls on offer. A refundable damage deposit of EUR 300 is also charged, so budget for that upfront even though it should return to you assuming no damage occurs.
There are real limits to keep in mind. A weight limit of 26 lbs applies, so larger breeds are simply not going to be eligible here, and only one dog per room is permitted, ruling out multi-dog households in a single booking. Dogs are not welcome in the bar, restaurant or lounge, so mealtimes and evening drinks will mean leaving your dog behind, and there is no dog wash or shower area, no dog food sold on site, no free treats, toys or poop bags provided, and no dedicated dog-walking service, so you will need to bring your own kit and handle exercise yourself. There is also no emergency vet number offered and the hotel does not share its pet policy before booking, so you will want to confirm details directly ahead of arrival. This stay suits an owner with a single, smaller dog under 26 lbs who wants genuine on-site comforts and flexibility, but larger dogs or multi-dog families should look elsewhere.
