No Weight LimitPacific Shores Resort Dog Friendly Review
Pacific Shores Resort & Spa holds a respectable B Roch Rank. This place is a solid choice for dog owners, but there are a few quirks to keep in mind. Most rooms welcome your four-legged friend, so availability shouldn't be a headache. However, dogs aren't allowed to roam the bar, but they can join you on the terrace, patio, and in public areas, which is a nice touch. The downside? Your dog can't be left alone in the room for long, which can be a hassle if you're planning solo outings.
The resort charges a $20 per night fee for dogs, which is reasonable compared to other places. There's no weight limit, so even your hefty Labrador is welcome. However, the lack of provided dog beds or bowls means you'll need to pack your own essentials. On the plus side, they do offer free treats, which is a nice gesture.
The on-site garden is a major perk, offering a convenient spot for quick walks. Plus, nearby parks make it easy to give your dog a proper run. While they don't offer dog-walking or sitting services, they do provide guidance on local walk routes, which is a helpful touch. The absence of a damage deposit is a relief, keeping upfront costs down.
Overall, Pacific Shores Resort & Spa is a decent option for dog owners, especially if you're looking for a place with good outdoor access and a welcoming vibe. Just be prepared to keep your dog with you most of the time.
