Dogs and cats must have complete and updated vaccinations, proof of which must be presented to Hale Manna upon check-in if asked.
Guests bringing pets that do not fit the criteria of allowed pets (e.g., outside size limits) may also be asked to cancel their stays. If a booking is canceled for these reasons, a P2000/room/night cancellation fee will apply.
2. Prohibited Pets
Rodents such as, but not limited to, mice and guinea pigs; fish; reptiles; and amphibians.
3. Advance Arrangement
Bringing of pets must ideally be arranged before your scheduled arrival or check-in, although pets within the size limits will be allowed without prior arrangement as long as the guest is booked in an appropriate room. If bringing a dog that may exceed the size limit, please arrange this with our Reservations Team at least three (3) days in advance.

If no room fitting their pets are available, they may be asked to change their booking to a date when the appropriate rooms are available.

9. Pet Equipment & Supervision
Pets must not be left unattended, either in the rooms or the common/public areas. Should you need to leave your pet alone in your room, it must be placed in a crate or fenced area, and this should be no longer than six to eight (6-8) hours.
Guests are required to bring their own pet equipment as these will not be provided by Hale Manna. Pet equipment includes, but is not limited to:
10. Pets Are Prohibited in the Following Areas
11. Leash Requirement
When outside the room, pets must be carried by their owners or in a carrier or on leash at all times.
12. Owner Responsibilities
Pet owners shall be responsible for their pets' behavior and safety. Any waste or accidents must be cleaned up and disposed of by the owner in disposable bags. Pets are not allowed in the bathroom sinks or any of the public bathing areas.
13. Addressing Complaints
Pet owners will need to address any complaints related to their pets made by other guests promptly. Noise must be confined to the room; barking dogs in the public area may be requested to be brought to their rooms. Further offenses may result in the guest being asked to check out.
14. Stray Animals
Hale Manna does try to remove stray dogs and cats from the public areas that may still come in, especially by way of the beach at low tide. However, as we were advised that the only solutions local authorities and other services can offer at this time is culling these animals, we have opted for the humane approach and request that you make sure to keep your pet away from the strays.
15. Liability Disclaimer
Neither Hale Manna nor its employees would be liable for any loss, injuries, or illness of pets during or after your visit.
16. Compliance
Failure to comply with the conditions above may result in additional penalties/fees or in the immediate cancellation of your room reservation. Hale Manna reserves the right to ask guests to leave if their pets prove too unruly, aggressive, or noisy. If your pet should at any point be considered dangerous by Hale Manna or its employees, you must immediately remove it from the resort.
17. Policy Updates
Further updates to this pet policy may be made without prior notice. Guests booking far ahead of their stay dates may wish to review the pet policy a week or two before their stay.
Guests will be required to sign an agreement form on-site, or they can request this via email and pre-fill up the form and sign via digital signature.
