<div id="c3be0912bb716eee4ca644c1dfc4ecde4"></div>With so much to do across Tampa Bay, Orlando, and other neighboring cities, there are plenty of ways to relax together. One of our favorite things to do in Tampa Bay involves the best hotels, without staying the night! You can take advantage of a hotel day pass with ResortPass. It’s an easy way to feel like you’re on vacation for the day.
This special pass gives you access to local hotels and resorts for a day. It’s the perfect way to plan a daycation that’s not too far from home.
How ResortPass Hotel Day Pass Works
Visit the website, search your location, and browse through all of the participating hotels. Some hotels also offer passes available as monthly memberships so you can make daytime relaxation a regular part of your monthly routine. Even just planning your next trip can feel like an escape.
Next, book and reserve your spot. Once you choose your hotel, be sure to select your preferred date. Options include day passes, spa passes, and cabana rentals.
Finally, head over to your hotel on the selected day and check-in. Then, kick back, relax, and enjoy your day in paradise.
There is a pretty good cancellation policy when it comes to weather–we all know how unpredictable Florida weather can be! As always, we still encourage you to read the cancellation policy before booking so there are no surprises.
