Cool Off in One of South Florida’s Swankiest Hotel Pools

While summer may be winding down around the rest of the country, living in South Florida means being able to hang poolside well into the fall months. Florida offers a year-round paradise with an enviable collection of luxury hotel pools that can be enjoyed during an overnight stay or just for a day. 

Thanks to programs like ResortPass, accessing these luxury pools is now more convenient than ever, as the company recently added several luxury properties to its portfolio. 

“South Florida boasts hundreds of luxury hotels and resorts — most of which only allow access to their pools, spas, and private beaches for non-overnight guests through ResortPass,” says ResortPass CEO Michael Wolf. “ResortPass allows locals to experience the best luxury resorts in their area for a daycation at an accessible price. Plus, it’s a great option for travelers staying at an Airbnb without pool amenities.”

To extend your summer, check out some of South Florida’s swankiest pools — all available on ResortPass.
