Opal Paws Program

New England, New York & Florida

Can’t bear the thought of leaving your pooch at home? When you vacation at a participating Opal property, you don’t have to. In addition to welcoming well-mannered canine companions under 30 pounds, the collection’s Opal Paws program goes even further to make sure they feel just as pampered as you do by outfitting their stay with a custom dog mat and bowl, as well as a goodie bag of dental stick treats, biscuits, and more. If looking to venture off-property, many resorts also offer a concierge-vetted list of destination dog-friendly activities and attractions to ensure your furry friend can always follow along.

Find our full list of the 26 participating properties below, including locations in the New York Adirondacks, the Maine and New Hampshire Coast, and southern Florida and the Keys.

A Sample Opal Paws Stay

A snippet of an Opal Paws stay at Wentworth by the Sea as told through the playful POV of 2-year-old cavapoo, Ruby.

A woman in a black outfit hands a small gift bag to a man seated on a sofa. The man, holding a small brown dog and a folded blanket, smiles at her. The setting is a warmly decorated room with wooden floors and floral arrangements.

4 p.m.

Arrival & Check-In

“When we arrive, the nice lady behind the front desk greets me with bowls, bones, and even a comfy mat. While, at first, I assume I’m just a special pooch, I’m told that all well-mannered dogs under 30 pounds receive this kind of treatment at all Opal resorts and hotels.”

A fluffy brown dog with a curly coat and a playful expression stands on a light-colored couch. The dogs pink tongue is visible. A person is sitting in the background, out of focus, holding a phone.

4:30 p.m.

Relaxing in Our Room

“While my dad gets settled in our Marina Suite, I cozy up on my mat and get busy with my bones. Dogs are also welcome in the main hotel, but I like these townhouse-style accommodations, perfect for families (my mom and human sibling will be joining us tomorrow).”

A man in sunglasses sits on an Adirondack chair on a lawn, petting a small dog on the adjacent chair. Behind them is a large, historic white building, surrounded by green grass and trees, under a clear blue sky.

5:30 p.m.

Strolling the Grounds

“Next, we explore the historic hotel’s sprawling grounds, from the gardens to the marina, but my favorite part is sitting with my dad on the grand lawn.”

A person walks a dog on a leash along a wooden boardwalk. There are blue umbrellas and tables in the background. A sign on the railing reads Pet Friendly Dining Area. The scene overlooks a waterfront area.

6:30 p.m.

Dining Out

“There’s even an outdoor dog-friendly dining area at the on-site restaurant, Latitudes! Dad orders dinner while I people watch patrons heading inside to the seasonal waterfront dining destination.”

A person in a blue shirt sits on a white rocking chair holding a cup, overlooking a waterfront view. A dog rests on a blue mat labeled Opal Paws beside a bowl, on a deck with a white railing and a view of umbrellas and boats.

7:30 p.m.

A Balcony Evening

“I think the thing I already love most about our Marina Suite are the balcony views and salty ocean sniffs. And I’m planning to spend the rest of the evening watching the boats bob in Little Harbor.”

A Labrador puppy sits on a white and red-striped chair on a balcony overlooking a harbor. Next to the puppy is a box with a white ribbon labeled Paws. The background shows water, boats, and distant land.
