The dog must be properly trained and with total obedience to the guest/owner.

Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, bar, swimming pool and other social areas of the Hotel. This does not apply to guide dogs properly identified.

Any alteration in the dog’s behaviour, such as: yelping, barking or consecutive barking, must be limited, in order to ensure the legitimate rest and comfort of the guests and/or other customers of the Hotel.

It is strictly forbidden to:

  • Leave the dog alone in the room;
  • Leave the dog unattended in the car;
  • Bathe the dog in the Hotel bathrooms;
  • Use the room linen in the Hotel for the dog’s hygiene;
  • Make use of the bed or any furniture in the room for the dog.

The guest/owner should contact Reception to arrange a convenient time for the Hotel to proceed with the cleaning of the room.

The dog must be on a leash, or properly secured and/or muzzled during cleaning operations and/or during the access of any Hotel employee to the room.

GUEST/OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES:

The guest/owner is responsible for all property damage and/or personal injury resulting from the behaviour or action of the dog.

The guest/owner agrees to reimburse the Hotel, owners, employees, guests and/or other customers, for damages resulting from direct and/or indirect action related to and/or performed by their dog.

The guest/owner is responsible for the hygiene and cleaning of the excrements of the respective dog, in all the exterior and interior perimeter of the Hotel, as well as the food of the animal, and must be accompanied during the stay by food and bowls for the dog.
