Hotel Esencia

Hotel Esencia scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. If you're planning a getaway with your furry friend, brace yourself for some hurdles. The hotel imposes a hefty $100 per night fee, plus service and tax, which is steep considering the limited amenities for dogs. While they do provide special dishware for your canine companion, don't expect any beds or bowls, so pack your own essentials. Access is another sticking point. Dogs are restricted to rooms and must be leashed at all times outside. Forget about dining with your dog; they're not allowed in restaurants, the spa, or the main house living room. Even the pool and beach areas have strict rules—your dog must stay in your arms or on a cabana, and swimming is off-limits. This makes for a less than relaxing experience if you were hoping for some quality beach time with your pup. On the plus side, the hotel offers dog-sitting services, which is a rare and valuable perk, providing some flexibility for solo excursions. However, the weight limit of 22 pounds excludes many common breeds like Labradors, which is a significant downside for larger dog owners. The lack of nearby green spaces further limits your options for a pleasant walk. In summary, Hotel Esencia's dog policies are restrictive and costly, making it a challenging choice for dog owners. If you're set on visiting, be prepared for the extra fees and limitations. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked, and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world's first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry.
