No Weight LimitDakota Dunes Resort Dog Friendly Review
Dakota Dunes Resort holds an excellent A Roch Rank, and the welcome starts outdoors. There are green spaces and parks nearby, the team will point you to walking routes, and on site there is a garden dogs may use and a dedicated space set aside for them.
Dogs of every size are welcome in the dog friendly rooms, up to two to a room, and each arrives to a dog bed, food and water bowls and treats. Your dog is welcome to relax with you in the lounge and on the outdoor terrace. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant or the bar. The team will hand you poop bags, arrange a dog walker, a sitter or a groomer, and keep an emergency vet's number to hand, and the resort runs dog friendly activities.
The fee is $50 per stay for each dog and there is no deposit. Your dog cannot be left alone in the room, so plan on company at dinner on the terrace or a meal in the room. The resort supports a pet charity, and cats are not accepted. It suits an owner who wants plenty of room outdoors, a lounge to share and a dog properly looked after; anyone hoping to dine indoors with their dog should plan around the terrace.

We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
