No attempt will be made by resort staff to enter your room if a dog is present in the room unattended. The guest (dog owner) must be in the room when it is being serviced.
• Please be mindful that we have a “no barking” policy. Barking must be curtailed to ensure fellow guests are not inconvenienced, both in your guest room and in the public areas.
