If you’re not wanting to venture far from home, here’s a way to keep it cool and close to home or wherever you roam.
Resort Pass gives you a chance to spend a day poolside in a fancy resort or hotel. This might make a fun day trip for the girls, the guys (bachelors/bachelorettes), a romantic day out in a private and swanky cabana, or just a day of solo pampering. In addition to a Day Pass, select hotels and resorts offer a Work Pass that includes a room for the day (morning to evening) along with pool privileges. It’s a fun option should you have budget overnight digs and want to experience a 4- or 5-star property and the amenities.
Choose from over 1,000 hotels in 250 cities across 35 states. The participating properties can be found in Atlanta and various locations in Hawaii, Arizona, California, and Texas — and including New York City.
Most recently, Resort Pass has added Hilton to its hotel lineup. Get ready for a good time at the Hilton West Palm Beach, a luxury hotel just 2 miles from Florida’s world-famous beaches. Make a splash in the resort-style pool, break a sweat in the fitness center with Peloton bikes, or play lawn games. Grab a seat at the poolside bar and grill, La Playa and sip tropical coconut cocktails under the Florida sunshine. Enjoy live DJ entertainment on Saturdays. For a more luxurious experience, book a private shaded poolside cabana with a flatscreen TV and refrigerator.
The Day Pass includes:
- Use of the outdoor pool
- Lounge chairs (first-come, first-served)
- Towel service
- Poolside food and drinks available for purchase from La Playa Poolside Bar & Grill
- Poolside entertainment
- Saturday – Poolside Sessions
- Local DJs from noon to 4p
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
The pass is $25 for adults and $20 for kids.
You can also opt for a shaded luxury poolside cabana for up to 6 people, or a double cabana with even more amenities!
Other options include:
- Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort from $115 per person
- Hilton Orlando from $30 per person
- Hilton Waikoloa Village from $50 per person
- W Atlanta-Downtown from $50 per person
- Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, Orlando from $40 per person

Note that parking fees may be additional.
Daycationapp.com is another source for day spa and pool days. Although not as extensive a list, selections are offered in both domestic and international locations — such as Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the BVI’s, Mexico, the Bahamas and a few Caribbean islands.
Each property will have its own cancel policy, but most offer a free cancellation (full credit; not a full refund) made the night before your booked date (before midnight). If you must cancel a reservation, ResortPass.com and DaycationApp.com will keep track of the credit in your account to use for future use.
Additionally, per person rates will vary depending on peak or off-peak seasons and/or day of the week (weekdays are likely to be the least expensive). No outside coolers, food or drinks allowed. Many a la carte options such as food, beverages and activities require a separate purchase (debit cards are not accepted).
