BFF Pet Program

From in-room staples for sweet doggie dreams to coastal extras for carefree playtime, each four-legged bestie is treated to a tail-wagging good time.  We want your best friend to enjoy our waterfront beach oasis just as much as you will by exploring plentiful nearby dog friendly beaches.  No matter the agenda, you and your best furry friend will have the best time exploring Santa Cruz.  

• Pets (Dogs and Cats) are permitted with a $175.00 per pet, per stay fee. Maximum of two (2) pets per room.
• Registered guests with service animals do not follow the same rules and regulations, and the Hotel may not charge those guests a pet fee. An emotional support animal, however, is not considered a service animal and is not protected under the American Disability Act as an animal serving guests with disabilities. Emotional support animals therefore fall under the hotel’s pet policy and all its rules and regulations.
• At La Bahia Hotel & Spa: a pet welcome letter, treats at the front desk, a cozy pet bed, a water/food bowl, bottled water and pet waste bags for your guest room or suite.  Amenities are offered complimentary for use during your stay.
• Pets cannot be left unattended in the guest rooms at any time and rooms cannot be serviced while pets are in the room.  Please ensure to take your pets with you during our housekeeping hours should you wish to have your room serviced.
• Barking and noise that is disruptive to other guests is not allowed. The hotel will contact the pet’s owner via the cell phone number provided at check-in upon the first complaint about their pet. Upon receipt of two noise or disruptive behavior complaints, the guest may be required to make alternative arrangements for their pet.
• Pets must be accompanied and on a leash at all times in the hotels’ public areas and are not allowed on the furniture.
• Dogs are welcome on the outside patio at Low Tide and High Tide, but not in any indoor area of the restaurants, spa facilities, fitness center or pool area.
• We understand that “accidents” happen, but additional fees may apply if excessive room cleaning is necessary after departure.
• Nearby dog-friendly beaches in Santa Cruz include Its Beach, Seabright State Beach, Twin Lakes State Beach, Mitchell’s Cove Beach and Natural Bridges State Beach.
