Costa d' Este allows service animals in areas that are open to the public

A service animal is a dog that is trained to do work or perform tasks to assist an individual with a disability. Animals that provide emotional support, comfort or companionship are not considered service animals. 

A service animal must be under the control of its handler. A service animal must have a harness or leash unless the handler is unable to use one because of a disability or the use of a leash would interfere with the service animal's performance. In such case, the service animal should under the handler's control via voice commands, signals or other means. 

Non-service animals will be asked to vacate area not appropiate for pets. This includes the pool deck, Cabana Bar and The Wave due to these being food service areas. 

The service animals requirements are defined by the US Department of Justice, ADA Requirements for service animals. The rules around pets in food service areas governed but Department of Health.
