Treat Yourself to a Daycation! 35 Hotel Resort Passes in San Diego


San Diego Hotels That Have Resort Passes To Spend The Day
photo: Hyatt Regency Mission Bay

Splash & Play All Day, without paying for an overnight hotel stay! Whether you live in San Diego or are just visiting, you can and you should take advantage of a Resort Pass. (scroll down for the list of San Diego Resort Pass Hotels)


What's a Resort Pass?

Resort Pass gives you admission into a fun Resort Hotel for the day. Lounge by the pool, take a dip or splash around, order poolside drinks & eats and chillax all day long. Each hotel has different amenities, some even have water slides or zero entry for littles; while others allow access to their gyms & spas too.


Only a select few hotels are part of the Resort Pass program and prices vary by day, season and type. Midweek off-season passes are cheaper than weekend high-peak season. Some offer just a day pass for the pool, while others have a cabana or even a half day option, or add-on a fireside s'mores roast.

These book up fast, especially for high-peak times, so plan ahead.



 

Some Things To Keep In Mind When Booking A Resort Pass

  • Some have height restrictions for waterslides and/or require a life jacket

  • Some have bathrooms nearby and/or changing rooms, while some don't

  • Most have pool towels available for use, but bring your own if you want to wrap it around to sit on for your drive home so you don't get your seats wet ;)

  • Some allow or don't allow outside food & drinks or glass containers

  • Some have a minimum spend amount, mostly for some cabana rentals

  • Some have food/drink service available poolside, while others only have an on-site restaurant and some don't even have a food service. Due to staffing issues from Covid, call the hotel directly to inquire if their food service is operating

  • Some have different Covid polices re: masking and/or social distancing or same household groups

  • Some are adult only

  • Read the fine print and call the hotels directly if you have specific questions

*Pricing varies by day, season, etc. I've listed the starting costs per person; which isn't necessarily the price for your visit depending on when you go, fyi
