Unattended in roomNo

Dogs are not permitted indoors in the restaurant or bar but join dinner on the Balcony Terrace overlooking the bay. Leashed on property, never left unattended in rooms, and wet dogs dry off before coming inside.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
