Thaproban Beach House Dog Friendly Review
Thaproban Beach House holds a failing F Roch Rank, yet it does offer some genuine welcome for dogs. The hotel shares its pet policy with guests before they book, so there are no surprises on arrival, and it is happy to accommodate cats as well as dogs. Most rooms are dog friendly, with the ground floor superior rooms singled out as the best choice, and your dog is welcome to join you on the terrace or patio and in the lounge, provided he is well behaved and does not disturb other guests.
Day to day, the hotel keeps things fairly simple. There is a pet supplement charge of $12 per night, and reassuringly there is no damage deposit, with charges only applied if actual damage occurs. Your dog may spend time with you on the terrace or patio and in the lounge, but he must not be left unattended in the room at any point during your stay. If you are planning walks, the hotel can give you information on the area, though it advises against walking your dog on most roads locally because of the presence of local dogs.
There are real restrictions to weigh up here. Only small pets are accepted, up to a maximum of 44 lbs, with a limit of two dogs per room, and your dog can never be left alone in the room. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, bowls, dog food, treats or toys, and there is no garden, dedicated dog space or dog wash area on site. Dogs are not allowed in the bar or restaurant, and there is no dog-walking service, sitting arrangement, grooming, poop bags or emergency vet number on offer. This stay suits an owner with a single small, well behaved dog who is content to relax on the terrace and in the lounge rather than roam, and who will not need to leave their dog unattended. Owners of larger dogs, or those wanting on-site green space and extra dog amenities, should look elsewhere.
