Pets must be kept on a leash up to six feet while on resort property and may not be left unattended in guestrooms. The resort enforces a no-barking/disturbance rule and charges extra fees for damage or noise-related issues.

Where dogs can and cannot go
Enchantment’s pet rules distinguish guestrooms and outdoor trails from indoor public venues. Dogs may stay in designated pet-friendly casitas and walk the resort grounds on leash, and the resort notes dog-friendly hiking nearby.
Pets are explicitly prohibited from restaurants, both pools and pool decks, the lobby, meeting spaces, tennis courts, and all spa and fitness facilities. If you plan to dine at Tii Gavo, Che Ah Chi, The Market or use The Edge pool dining, plan for a human-only table or arrange In-Room Dining instead.
- Allowed: pet-friendly guestrooms, outdoor grounds on leash, nearby dog-friendly hiking trails
- Not allowed: Tii Gavo, Che Ah Chi, The Market indoor seating, The Edge pool areas, lobby, meeting rooms, spa/fitness areas
- Alternatives: In-Room Dining, outdoor patio seating where dogs aren’t permitted—confirm with concierge
| Venue type | Pet access |
|---|---|
| Guestroom (pet-friendly) | Allowed with rules |
| Indoor dining/pools/spa | Not allowed |
| Resort grounds/trails (on leash) | Allowed |
Choosing the right room with your dog
Enchantment’s accommodations are casita-style across the grounds; plan to request a pet-friendly casita when booking. Room types include Room (Casita), Studio (Casita), and several suite layouts — if keeping your dog quiet and comfortable matters, request a ground-level casita with an outdoor patio when possible.
If you need more space or separate sleeping areas, consider one of the Suite options (Suite, 1 Bedroom; Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Casita 1 King + 2 Queen); Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Casa 2 King); Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Hacienda 1 King + 2 Queen)). Bring familiar bedding and a crate if your dog is crate-trained, since dogs may not be left unattended.
- Ask for a pet-friendly casita on booking
- Ground-floor patios ease bathroom breaks and reduce hallway traffic
- Suites give extra space for multiple dogs or longer stays
| Room type (exact names) | Why pick it |
|---|---|
| Room (Casita) | Simpler layout, ground-level access |
| Studio (Casita) | Smaller footprint — check for pet availability |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom / Suite, 2 Bedrooms … | More space for larger dogs or families; check which suites are pet-enabled |
Arrival, in-room extras and housekeeping rules
Enchantment provides a pet welcome amenity plus a plush dog bed and food/water bowls in pet-friendly rooms, per the resort program. On arrival, present the same check-in requirements all guests follow: valid photo ID and a credit card.
Housekeeping may have restrictions about entering rooms with an unattended pet; the resort’s policy also forbids leaving pets alone in the room. Ask front desk or concierge how daily housekeeping will be handled and whether in-room cleaning can be scheduled when someone is present.
- Pet welcome amenity, dog bed and bowls are provided on arrival
- Guests must present photo ID and credit card at check-in
- Confirm housekeeping schedule to avoid conflicts with a pet that cannot be left alone
| At check-in | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Bring proof of ID and card | Confirm pet fee and any forms |
| Collect pet amenity | Verify room setup (bed, bowls) |
| Ask about housekeeping | Set timing to avoid leaving pet unattended |
Practical on-property tips for hiking, dining and safety
Enchantment sits at 525 Boynton Canyon Rd with direct access to Boynton Canyon Trail and other nearby hikes; many trails are dog-friendly but always keep your dog leashed and bring water. The Trail House outfitter arranges guided hikes and rentals — check with them about dog-specific trail options or guided walks.
Watch for desert heat, especially in summer and monsoon season; bring extra water for both you and your dog, protect paws from hot sand/rock, and avoid midday hikes. If you plan activities that exclude dogs (spa, indoor dining), plan childcare for your pet through local pet sitters or consider arranging a Camp Coyote spot for kids while you take turns with pet care.
- Bring at least 1–2 liters of water for your dog on hikes; portable bowl recommended
- Avoid midday hikes in June–August; early morning/evening is cooler
- Protect paws with booties or hike on shaded routes
- Confirm dog access on any guided excursions before booking
| Situation | Practical tip |
|---|---|
| Trail walk from resort | Keep dog leashed; bring water |
| Dining at Tii Gavo/Che Ah Chi | Dogs not allowed — use In-Room Dining or eat off-site |
| Heat/monsoon weather | Avoid midday heat; watch for storm flash floods in canyons |
What to do if problems arise: damage, barking, or health issues
The resort enforces fees for damage or disturbances; documented extra charges can apply for cleaning or noisy pets. If your dog becomes disruptive, respond quickly to avoid fines and to keep your reservation in good standing.
For medical or emergency concerns, identify a local vet when you arrive and ask the concierge for recommendations and nearest emergency clinic. Keep vaccination records and your vet’s contact information with you during travel.
- Report incidents immediately to front desk to manage fees and solutions
- Ask concierge on arrival for local veterinary and pet-sitting contacts
- Keep vaccination and medical info handy in case you need emergency care
| Issue | Action |
|---|---|
| Noise/disturbance | Quiet the pet immediately; contact front desk if needed |
| Damage/soiling | Report to front desk — extra fees may apply |
| Health emergency | Contact local vet or emergency clinic (ask concierge) |
