We’re dreaming of cabana-striped umbrellas, frozen margaritas and daquiris, and expansive, ice cool swimming pools. I mean... can you blame us? Between weeks of heat advisory warnings, afternoon thunderstorms, and steamy nights aplenty, we all could use a little pool day action.

Enter ResortPass. The service allows you to buy pool-day passes at spots like the JW Marriott Water Street or the Pink Palace — without shelling out for a full staycation. Plus, lots of the passes include perks like fitness center and beach access, reserved chairs, showers, and cabanas.

It’s important to add that prices start at about $15 and change depending on the day. Here’s a few of our favorite picks:

Hotel Alba | South Tampa

The Tapestry Collection by Hilton hotel features a temperature-controlled pool, poolside food and drink service, games like cornhole and jenga, and live music Wednesday through Friday from 6-9 p.m.

The Don CeSar | St. Pete Beach

Enjoy a dreamy afternoon at the historic hotel with two heated, beachfront pools, a Jacuzzi, free Wi-fi, showers, poolside drinks and eats — plus, a 10% discount on water sport rentals at Boucher Brothers beach huts.

    JW Marriott Tampa Water Street | Water Street

    Head to the buzzy Water Street hotel for a day of chillaxing by the resort-style pool in a cushy lounge chair — with discounted valet parking, poolside eats and drinks from SiX, and towel service.
