One&Only The Palm Dog Friendly Review
One&Only The Palm holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendly travel. Dogs are accommodated within the Private Villas and their designated outdoor areas, giving your dog a dedicated space of his own rather than squeezing him into a standard room. The resort's team can recommend suitable walking routes and nearby green spaces, and will assist with arranging licensed pet-sitting or pet-walking services if you need time away without your dog. Add in a kept emergency veterinary contact on file, and this is a resort that has clearly thought through the basics of hosting a dog.
On arrival your dog is given a dedicated welcome setup: a pet bed, food and water bowls, welcome treats, toys and waste bags, so there is no real need to pack his usual kit unless he has a particular preference. Grooming can be arranged through a trusted third-party provider, useful if your stay runs long enough to need it. Your dog may be left alone in the villa for a short period provided he is secured in his carrier or crate, which suits a dog used to settling in a crate rather than one who frets without you. There is a dog fee of AED 50 per night, and while there is no separate damage deposit, you will need to sign a Pet Waiver Form authorising charges for any damage or excessive cleaning.
Set against this are some firm restrictions. Pets are not permitted in the resort's rooms or facilities outside the designated villas, so your dog's world here stays within those boundaries. Only one dog is welcome per villa, and a weight limit of 22 lbs applies unless approved in advance, ruling this out for owners of larger breeds. There is no garden for dogs to use, no dog wash area, and dogs are not permitted in the bar, restaurant, lounge or terrace, so this suits an owner with a smaller, crate-settled dog who is happy with villa life and organised walks off-site, rather than one hoping for free run of the resort or communal dog friendly spaces.
