How to choose a hot springs day pass

A day pass can give you a soak without booking a room. Passes can cover different pools and time windows even at the same property.

Check these five things

1. Entry. Is the pass timed? Can you arrive late or leave and return?
2. Pool access. Which pools and facilities are included? Ask about scheduled closures.
3. Age rules. Check the minimum age for the property and for any separate soaking area.
4. Accessibility. Ask about routes to the pools, how you enter the water, and the changing rooms.
5. Full cost. Check fees, towels, lockers, and cancellation terms for your date.

See the Pagosa Springs resort pass options and Azure Palm’s day spa options for examples. Follow posted pool rules and consult the CDC guidance for hot tub users where applicable.
