Scenarios Where You Want a Hotel With a Pool
You are more than likely in two camps: (1) You are traveling and want to make sure your hotel has a pool, or (2) You have some time off or a weekend coming up where you want to veg out by a pool without traveling or having to book a hotel to stay.
We’ve got both covered!
How to Find Hotels with Outdoor Pool
The really great news here is that you don’t have to call around looking for a hotel that has a pool and beg for a day pass or if they have a pool on their property.
How to Find Hotels With an Outdoor Pool to Chill For the Day
We recently had some downtime in Miami and were tired after our travels. It was a day to kill, and Miami Beach seemed a little too busy for the vibe we were feeling.

We just wanted to chill by a pool, so rather than calling around and asking what it would take just to have time by a hotel pool, we found a much better option.
Try ResortPass. With ResortPass, you can find a hotel with an outdoor pool, cabanas, hot tubs, or whatever it is that you want your vibe to be, and you can search by area. The fabulous thing is that with ResortPass, you don’t have to call the hotel asking for favors or ask if they will give you a day pass.

You book it all through the website/app when you find the Daycation locale you want!
How to Find Hotels With an Outdoor Pool to Stay for Your Travels
Guess what!? It’s the same process. We used ResortPass to sort through the very cool pools we liked in an area we were traveling, and then we booked the hotel outside of the app.
For example, we went to NYC and knew that we wanted to also have some time chilling on a rooftop pool while in the city. We saw that we adored the vibe at the Virgin Hotels New York City’s rooftop pool. So, we then searched for the best deal for the hotel outside of the app.

If you just Google hotels with outdoor pools, you will be very busy searching through tons of websites, some that don’t even have pools but that optimized their website so you would land on it.
Trust us, use ResortPass to find the best pool scene for you. You can look at the various views of the pool itself and check out reviews of those who have spent time at the hotel pool.
Other Ways to Utilize ResortPass
Since finding this not-so-hidden gem, ResortPass, I (Shannon) had even used it when I had an unexpected 12-hour flight delay. There was no way I was going to sit miserably in the airport. Rather, I pulled out my ResortPass app and looked for an airport hotel nearby that had a chic pool and viola! My day was made!
We hope this little hack is useful for you. We cannot believe that we didn’t know about ResortPass until this year, but now that we do, we wanted to share the resource for all of you looking for hotels with an outdoor pool.
It’s just the best!

Nope. You purchase the day pass or spa pass through the app, and the hotel has your information when you arrive.
You can search by your vibe in the ResortPass app. The hotel will say no kids if that is available. Otherwise, you can read the reviews to see if people rate it as “kid-friendly” or “kids were all over the place, not relaxing.”
