Living in Southwest Florida means being surrounded by some of the most luxurious resorts in the world. From The Inn on Fifth to The Ritz Carlton, these resorts have garnered worldwide recognition for their exceptional service and amenities. And now, with the addition of Margaritaville on Fort Myers Beach and the upcoming Great Wolf Lodge in Naples, the list of incredible resorts is only getting longer.
Can You Visit Southwest Florida Resorts Without Getting A Room?
The simple answer is yes, but it comes at a price. While there may have been tricks in the past to access resort amenities without staying in a room, such as visiting the water park at the Coconut Point Hyatt, those days are mostly gone. However, many resorts now offer day passes or "daycations" that allow visitors to enjoy all the amenities reserved for guests.
To get a day pass, simply go online HERE and book your pass at the chosen resort. Upon arrival, present your receipt to gain access to pools, restaurants, activities, fitness centers, and more. Some resorts even offer organized yoga classes and other activities. While day passes aren't cheap, they are significantly less expensive than booking a room, making them a popular option for those looking to enjoy a day of luxury without breaking the bank.
Prices and Access
Day pass prices vary depending on the resort. Here are some options:
Pink Shell Beach Resort And Marina – Starting at $30
Features 2 kids pools, an adults-only pool, private beach huts, watercraft rentals, and more.
Luminary Hotel – Starting at $25
