InterContinental Porto Palacio das Cardosas received an acceptable C Roch Rank. While the hotel offers a personalized pet kit with a dog bed, blanket, toy, and food and water containers, the experience is marred by a few significant drawbacks. The €30 per day fee is steep, especially considering the limited amenities and the fact that dogs are restricted to certain areas. Dogs are welcome on the terrace and in public areas, but not in the bar or restaurant, which can be a hassle for owners wanting to enjoy a meal without leaving their canine companion behind.
The hotel's policy of allowing dogs to stay alone in the room is a plus, offering some flexibility for owners. However, the weight limit of 33 pounds is a major downside, excluding popular breeds like Labradors. This restriction, combined with the one-dog-per-room limit, makes it less appealing for those traveling with larger or multiple dogs.
On the bright side, the hotel's location near public green spaces is a bonus for quick walks. However, the lack of on-site dog-dedicated spaces or gardens is a missed opportunity. The absence of additional services like dog-walking or grooming further limits the convenience factor. Overall, while the hotel makes some effort to accommodate dogs, the high fees and restrictions make it a less attractive option for dog owners.
This hotel has been evaluated, ranked, and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world's first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel, and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels in order to fairly derive its rank.
