Pets and Grand Palms Resort
Grand Palms Resort only offers pet-free accommodations, so occasionally guests will express surprise at seeing pets around the Resort in spite of the pet-free policy. These pets belong to full-time residents who live within residential HOAs inside Grand Palms Resort. Resort HOAs have voted to be pet-free, so we want to share some ideas to help you create a fun beach experience for your four-legged family member while you enjoy your vacation at Grand Palms Resort.
Pets Can Vacation Nearby
Thanks to the fine local pet resorts, you can stay close to your pets while on vacation. Just down the road you can check in your special family member for a week of luxury and fun. They’ll love spending time with you as you travel and at their very own pet resort, they’ll enjoy relaxing, playing and making new friends. When you’re ready for more family time with them, you can pick them up for a fun day at the beach. While you’re relaxing at the pool, they’ll be enjoying playtime at a special pet playground of their own.
