Feel like summer is almost over and you’ve yet to take a break? Even after Labor Day, there’s plenty of sunshine left, and taking a daycation is a good idea during every season. Resort Pass makes booking a mini getaway affordable and easy when you need to use PTO, escape for the weekend, or treat yourself to a luxurious new setting when on vacation.

I’ll never forget weekends in Marrakesh when I relaxed with friends year-round beside unbelievably beautiful pools on iconic properties. We couldn’t afford the nightly rates where Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman made movies, but we could afford a pool pass, brunch, or late lunch which came with resort privileges. Whether alone with a book, soaking in the hot tub, or laughing with friends, what a difference a day made!

Pool/Chill Days are also treats if you’re into Van Life or RV Life (sigh… one day) or staying in an Airbnb. And if you’ve wanted to try solo travel, a daycation is a great way to test the waters.

Below I’ve rounded up some places on the Resort Pass App for a staycation in my city, Nashville, and in my favorite destinations when on the road. Check cities across the US where you live or plan to vacation below.

Typically the fee covers use of the pool, bar or restaurant service, a towel, a lounger, and free WiFi. You can search by city, ratings, and vibe (Family-Friendly, Serene, Luxe, Party, Trendy). Tip: Weekdays are typically less crowded and more chill that weekends. In cities like Nashville (Bachelorette Party Epicenter), if you’re into “Trendy” or “Party” pools, especially on weekends and holidays, you’ll have to book early before resorts sell out.

Nashville

White Limozeen at Graduate Nashville

Top of my Nashville Bucket List is White Limozeen at Graduate Nashville because I’m a fan of All Things Pink and Dolly Parton. Every month my grandson and I snuggle up with a new book she sends from her Imagination Library. Dolly and community partners send books to children from birth to age five across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Republic of Ireland. Check availability for a child in your life here.

The Westin

I’ve featured The Westin spa, pool, and hotel. The Resort Pass is just $15 here but note that seating is limited and the pass doesn’t include the spa.

JW Marriott

I haven’t done a pool day at JW Marriott in Nashville, but dining there is amazing and when I lived in Santo Domingo JW Mariott was my favorite escape for a meal and the pool. Note the Nashville pool is open 6 – 11 PM during their summer concert series and they run different spa specials.

The Omni

My daughter and I had an amazing stay at Omni Nashville. Their Resort Pass which includes pool and hot tub is $40.

Florida

Henderson Beach Resort in Destin

I recently loved my solo stay at Henderson Beach Resort. The pool pass includes the Lazy River at the family pool, adult pool, and adult hot tub.

The Don CeSar in St. Pete

On a Mother-Son trip Cole and I stayed in a Mom and Pop place in Clearwater. We then splurged on a cocktail at the historic “Pink Palace” where F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby, stayed. How could we not? Other famous guests of the Don CeSar have included Al Capone, Lou Gehrig, and former Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, George Bush, George Bush, Jr., and Barack Obama. If you’re in the St. Pete area don’t miss this gorgeous resort.

California

My family loves California. On our last trip we stayed in Venice Beach in L.A. to do the Malibu, Hollywood, L.A., Santa Monica thing and then spent our last couple of days in Palm Springs. If you live or vacation in any of these areas, here are some luxury splurges for a Day Stay.

Palihotel Hollywood

Located on Sunset Boulevard, the Palihotel Hollywood courtyard pool has vintage LA/Hollywood charm.

Terranea Resort

Palm Springs

The Saguaro

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Palm Springs — maybe because the desert and mountains remind me of Morocco plus I’m obsessed with the Rat Pack/Old Hollywood/Mid-Cenurty Modern Vibe. We loved our stay at the Saguaro which is on Resort Pass.

Renaissance Esmeralda Resort and Spa

For a splurge day with a jacuzzi, huge pool, and sandy beach, Resort Pass partners with Renaissance Esmeralda Resort and Spa in Palm Springs. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Palm Springs. Jacuzzis, a huge pool, a sandy beach, and a mountain view.
