<div id="c3be0912bb716eee4ca644c1dfc4ecde4"></div>

Summer in Tampa Bay will be here before you know it (is it ever really not summer here?) and we are lucky to be home to some pretty amazing resort pools. From beachfront pools with private cabanas to rooftop urban oases, there are plenty of places to lounge, take a dip, and enjoy a frozen cocktail. We’re sharing our favorite Tampa Bay resort pools by those offering day passes without an overnight stay, and pools that are exclusive for resort guests. Happy pool hopping!

The Godfrey

We love the options available for the Godfrey Hotel on Tampa’s Rocky Point. The Resort Pass options include cabanas for up to 8 people. Prices vary depending if you want a waterfront cabana or not, and by day of the week. But a non-waterfront cabana on a weekday can get as low as $50, and waterfront on a weekend goes up to $250, and you must also meet a $150 food and beverage minimum (plus 23% service charge). Guests enjoy poolside food and drink service and complimentary wifi.

The glass wall pool at The Edge Hotel in Clearwater Beach will make you feel like you’re swimming in the gulf. When you’re not lounging in the pool, snag a drink at the rooftop bar and enjoy a relaxing stay.
