Myrtle Beach Pool Day Pass: $25 to $55 at Five Resorts, Rooms Only at One

Which Myrtle Beach resort day pass fits your day?

Six Myrtle Beach resorts have live ResortPass pricing in this guide. Five of them sell a pool pass for an adult at $25 to $55 before the checkout fee (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). The sixth sells only day rooms. Match the pass to the day you want, because the cheapest ticket is not always the one that fits.

• Slides, a lazy river, and the beach next door: Springmaid Beach at Doubletree by Hilton.
• The lowest sticker price on a weekday: Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach, with its water park shown closed for the season.
• A flat price near the boardwalk: Homewood Suites by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront.
• An oceanfront sand-bottom pool and a hot tub: Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort, if the pool season matches your date.
• A basic oceanfront deck with a bar: Holiday Inn Resort Oceanfront at Surfside Beach.
• A private room for a layover or post-checkout rest: the day rooms at Kingston Resorts, Hilton, Springmaid, or Homewood. Kingston sells no pool pass.

ResortPass lists nine Myrtle Beach venues. Prices for six were pulled live, and the other three are not covered here because we could not source a price we trust. This is a late October and November snapshot. Summer prices and summer-only attractions were not checked, so confirm the date you plan to visit. The how we verify page explains how we handle prices.

How much does a Myrtle Beach resort day pass cost?

Adult base prices for Myrtle Beach pool passes ran from $25 to $55. Child prices ran from $12 to $25, on six dates between October 31 and November 18, 2026 (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). These are pre-fee base prices. ResortPass added a 12% service fee on every booking we checked, plus tax, so the number you pay is higher.

Here is what a family of two adults and two children pays in base passes, before the checkout fee:

• Sun Outdoors on a Monday, Sunday, Tuesday, or Wednesday: $74 ($25 adult, $12 child).
• Holiday Inn Surfside Beach: $100 ($30 adult, $20 child).
• Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort: $100 ($35 adult, $15 child).
• Homewood Suites Oceanfront: $104 ($35 adult, $17 child).
• Springmaid Beach: $150 ($50 adult, $25 child).
• Sun Outdoors on Saturday, October 31: $160 ($55 adult, $25 child).

The calculator below uses Springmaid, the most expensive pass on a typical weekday, so it shows the high end of a weekday pass day.

What does the Springmaid Beach day pass include?

The Springmaid Beach at Doubletree by Hilton day pass costs $50 for an adult and $25 for a child on all six sample dates (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). This is the property with the biggest water setup in this comparison. The heading below is the venue section, so the answer starts here and the details follow.

Springmaid Beach day pass: slides, a lazy river, and multi-day passes

Springmaid Beach at Doubletree by Hilton sells a day pass for $50 adult and $25 child (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). The pass description lists a 5,500-square-foot infinity pool with three waterslides, a 2,500-square-foot adult pool, a lazy river, and two indoor pools. It also lists beach access and pool towels. Food and drinks from the pool bar are for purchase.

The multi-day passes are the smartest buy here. The 3-Day Membership Pass is $72 for an adult and $39 for a child. The 5-Day is $99 and $49. The 7-Day is $126 and $69 (ResortPass, base prices, checked October 29, 2026). That works out to $24, $19.80, and $18 per adult per day. Two single days cost an adult $100, so the 3-Day pass wins if you will return even once.

The listing hours say pools open daily 9 AM to 10 PM, the waterpark opens daily 9 AM to sunset, and slides run 10 AM to 6 PM. The listing gives no seasonal end date, so call ahead before counting on the slides in November. A guest review on the listing noted that the bars opened closer to 11:20 than 11:00.

Cabanas and rooms are add-ons. The Adult Pool Cabana is $50 for up to two adults at the 18+ pool. The Ellie Pool Cabana is $158 for up to four people and includes a $50 food and beverage credit per party. The Day Room is $160 for up to four people and was unavailable on October 31, November 8, and November 15. Verdict: worth-it for families.

Sun Outdoors day pass: cheap midweek, seasonal lazy river

The Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach day pass was $55 for an adult and $25 for a child on Saturday, October 31 (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). On five later dates it was $25 and $12. It is the only venue with a price swing in our sample. We checked just one Saturday, so we cannot say whether every Saturday costs more.

The property is an RV resort and cottage park at 5800 SC-90 in Conway, which sits inland from the oceanfront strip. The resort’s own site says it sells day passes through ResortPass. That site says its heated lazy river is open from April 1 through the end of October (resort website, verified October 2026). It lists the waterpark weekends only in May, then daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

The ResortPass listing disagrees on the season. It marks the outdoor water park closed for the season as of October 29, so do not count on the lazy river on any date we sampled. The $25 pass buys the year-round areas. The pass description lists an adults-only Serenity pool and hot tub, a family lap pool, and an indoor pool and hot tub. Listing hours run 9 AM to 10 PM outdoors and from 8 AM indoors.

The pass description also lists changing rooms with showers, locker rentals, a fitness center, and complimentary self-parking. It says towels are not provided. It lists miniature golf, a mini bowling alley, and an arcade without prices. The resort’s own amenity list says the arcade and mini bowling may cost extra, so ask before you assume they are covered.

The Standard Cabana is $225, includes day passes for up to six people, and was available on every sample date. The VIP Lazy River Cabana is $325 for up to ten people but was unavailable on all six. Verdict: depends, because the water park is closed for the season.

Homewood Suites Oceanfront day pass: one price on every date we checked

The Homewood Suites by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront day pass cost $35 for an adult and $17 for a child on all six sample dates (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). It sits at 520 North Ocean Boulevard, steps from the boardwalk. The listing hours show the pool open daily 9 AM to 9 PM and dining daily 11 AM to 9 PM.

The pass description lists an indoor pool, an indoor hot tub, a waterslide, a lazy river, and beach access. It also says self-parking is available for a fee. Food and drinks are for purchase from onsite dining, and outside food and beverages are not permitted. The description does not mention towels.

Day rooms are the other product. The Day Room is $129 per room (ResortPass, base prices, checked October 29, 2026). It was unavailable on Saturday, October 31. The listing shows a lower child figure of $79, but a live cart charged $129 for the room whether we entered one adult or two adults and two children. The listing says the room holds up to four people. Verdict: worth-it as a steady, mid-priced pass.

Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort day pass: sand-bottom pool, season caveat

The Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort day pass costs $35 for an adult and $15 for a child on all six sample dates (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). The pass description lists an outdoor seasonal pool, an outdoor hot tub, beach access, and towels. Kingston Resorts, which runs the property, says it has an oceanfront pool and the only sand-bottom pool in Myrtle Beach.

Season is the catch. The ResortPass listing says pools are seasonal from March 19 through October 31, yet it sold a day pass on all five November dates we sampled. Kingston’s own pool page gives no season dates. We could not reconcile the two, so call the hotel before you buy a November pass. The pass does not include Currents Seaside Entertainment, and the description says self-parking is available for a fee.

The add-ons are many. The Palm Cabana is $125. The Day Room is $160. A 60-Minute Signature Massage is $145. The Premium Lounge Chair at $50 and the Day Room plus lounge chair at $360 were unavailable on every sample date (ResortPass, base prices, checked October 29, 2026).

The Palm Cabana plus Day Room bundle was $250 adult on Saturday and $200 on the other dates, for up to six people. The listing also shows a child price of $320, which looks like a room price rather than a per-person ticket. Check the cart before you book. Verdict: depends on the season check.

Holiday Inn Oceanfront at Surfside Beach day pass: the plain pool deck

The Holiday Inn Resort Oceanfront at Surfside Beach day pass costs $30 for an adult and $20 for a child on all six sample dates (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). It is the lowest adult price among the venues with a steady rate. The property is at 1601 North Ocean Boulevard in Surfside Beach, just south of Myrtle Beach proper.

The pass description lists an outdoor pool, a hot tub, beach access, towel service, a fitness center, and food and drink service from Saltaire Coastal Kitchen and Bar. The listing shows pool hours of 9 AM to 10 PM. There are no slides or lazy river in the listing.

The child price is the weak spot. A child pass is $20, only $10 less than an adult, so two adults and two children pay $100, the same as at the Hilton.

Parking for day guests is not verified. The pass description mentions public parking next to the hotel for up to $10, but we did not confirm what a day guest is charged. For room guests, the hotel’s FAQ says a daily service fee of $16.80 per guestroom covers the pool, sun deck, and cabanas (hotel website, verified October 29, 2026). It also covers one parking space. Verdict: worth-it-once as a low-cost, no-frills deck, best for adults or small kids who only want water and sun.

Kingston Resorts at Embassy Suites: a day room, not a pool pass

The Kingston Resorts listing on ResortPass sold a Day Room at $200 on Saturday, October 31, and $160 on the five later dates (ResortPass, base prices, checked October 29, 2026). It sold no pool-only pass. The Day Room was available on all six dates.

The listing describes the Embassy Suites by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort, within Kingston Resorts, at 9800 Queensway Boulevard. It lists a heated outdoor pool, Currents Waterpark, 78Fitness, and Spa33. Kingston’s own day-pass page frames the offer as a day-use room plus a private cabana, with access to Currents Seaside Entertainment, and shows no price.

Treat this as a day room, not a pool pass. The listing puts the pool season at March 19 through October 31. A ResortPass notice says Currents Waterpark was open only on October 9 to 11 and October 16 to 18, then closed for the season. That means the waterpark was closed on every date we sampled.

The Day Room plus Premium Lounge Chair, at $260, and the Poolside Cabana plus Day Room bundle were unavailable on every sample date. The 60-Minute Signature Massage is $145. The listing shows $160 for a child as well as an adult, and says the room holds up to four people, so treat the Day Room as a room price.

The Day Room listing describes a sink and kitchenette area and a sleeper sofa, and it lists pool access, beach access, and towels. It fits a layover or a rest day. It is a poor fit for someone who wants an hour at the pool. Verdict: skip-it for a pool-only visit.

What is check-in like with a ResortPass day pass in Myrtle Beach?

ResortPass sells day passes and day rooms at six priced Myrtle Beach venues. The process is the same at each: reserve online, then check in at the front desk (ResortPass, verified October 2026). The listings do not publish arrival wait times, and none of the venues posted a number we could verify. What follows draws on how the platform describes the flow and on guest reviews.

Guest reviews on the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort listing include one that says the ResortPass process “went flawlessly.” That is one review. Treat it as a sign, not a guarantee. Buyers often say the outcome depends on the hotel, and a property that treats day guests as an afterthought will feel like it. Read the last few months of reviews for the exact venue before you pay.

Small operational gaps show up in reviews too. A Springmaid guest noted that the pool bars opened later than posted. Seasonal hours can also differ from the listing, as the Hilton, Sun Outdoors, and Kingston notes above show. A pass does not guarantee that every slide, lazy river, or pool is running on your date.

If the booking flow is new to you, see how ResortPass works. For the legitimacy question, Is ResortPass legit? covers what booking involves. The takeaway here: confirm the pass loads for your date and screenshot the confirmation before you leave.

What should you bring and check before buying a Myrtle Beach day pass?

The best prep for a Myrtle Beach pool day is checking the date, the season, and the add-ons, because those three move your total more than the base price does. Prices were flat across our six sample dates at four of five pass venues. The exception was Sun Outdoors on October 31, so check your exact date rather than assuming a midweek discount.

• Confirm season. Sun Outdoors’ water park is shown closed, and the Hilton and Kingston listings show pools seasonal through October 31.
• Bring your own towels unless the pass description includes them. Springmaid, Hilton, and Holiday Inn do. Sun Outdoors says towels are not provided, and Homewood is silent.
• Pack a lock if you want a locker. Only the Sun Outdoors pass description mentions locker rentals.
• Ask about parking before you drive. We did not verify a day-guest fee at any venue.
• Eat before or after. Poolside food is sold separately at menu pricing.
• For a layover, consider a day room. No listing we checked mentions baggage storage, so ask the front desk.

For a longer list of what a pass usually covers, see what a resort day pass includes. Check prices the night before and the morning of your visit, since availability and base prices are set per date. We cannot tell you buying earlier is cheaper. In our sample, base prices did not move for five of six venues.

Is booking a room cheaper than buying Myrtle Beach day passes?

For a single day, the pass is cheaper than the room at most Myrtle Beach venues, but at Springmaid the gap is only $10. Two adults and two children pay $150 in base passes, while the Day Room lists $160 for up to four people (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). The room adds privacy and a place to change, and it was unavailable on three of six dates.

At the Hilton, two adults and two children pay $100 for passes and the Day Room is $160. That is a $60 premium for a private room with a sink and kitchenette area and a sleeper sofa, per the listing. At Homewood, the Day Room is $129 per room against $104 for the same four passes. Day rooms are the better layover tool, and passes are the better pool tool.

We did not source overnight room rates for this guide, so we will not claim a break-even night price. Myrtle Beach rates swing by season, and the widget below shows live rates. One hint on what a room includes: Holiday Inn Surfside Beach charges room guests a $16.80 daily fee per guestroom. It covers the pool and one parking space (hotel website, verified October 29, 2026).

The room math flips on a multi-day trip. A Springmaid 7-Day pass is $126 for an adult, so a week of water costs less than a single Day Room. For a deeper walk-through, read resort day pass vs booking the room. If you want to know whether a day pass is worth it in general, match the pass to the day.

What is the better alternative to a Myrtle Beach resort day pass?

The better alternative is often the beach itself, because the sand is public and a pass only buys the pool, slides, and a place to sit. The cheapest pass in our sample, Sun Outdoors on a weekday, was $25 for an adult (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). A free beach day plus one paid pool day usually beats three paid ones.

Direct booking was not cheaper in what we could verify. Sun Outdoors says on its own site that it sells passes through ResortPass. Kingston’s own day-pass page shows a day-use room with a cabana and no price. If you find a lower direct price, trust it only if the page shows a date and price for your visit. For promo codes, see ResortPass promo code.

If you are comparing coastal Carolina markets, Hilton Head day passes show a different price pattern. For a Florida beach town with a budget-pool option, see Clearwater Beach resort day passes. Hilton pool access also varies property by property, as Hilton day pass access explains.

What does a Myrtle Beach day pass include?

A Myrtle Beach day pass covers pool access at the five venues that sell one, and several add a hot tub, beach access, or slides. The grid below lists what each listing says and flags the season gotchas (ResortPass listings, checked October 29, 2026). Kingston sells day rooms only, so it is not in the pool-access row.

Who should buy a Myrtle Beach pool day pass, and who should skip it?

Buy a Myrtle Beach pool day pass if you want water more than sand, and skip it if the free beach covers your day. The passes cost $25 to $55 per adult in base price (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). The tags below sort the use cases.

Where do you book a Myrtle Beach day pass?

ResortPass is the booking channel for all six venues in this guide (ResortPass, checked October 29, 2026). The cheapest pass at each of the five that sell one ranges from $25 to $50 in base price. Sun Outdoors says on its site that it sells passes through ResortPass. We could not verify a direct price cheaper than ResortPass at any venue.

The service fee comes on top of every ResortPass base price. It was 12% on every booking we checked in October 2026, including nine live carts built October 29. Tax is added on top of the base price plus the fee. Cart tax ran from 8% at Sun Outdoors to 10% at Holiday Inn for passes, and 12% to 13% for day rooms. Compare the cart total, not the listing price.

Where should you stay near Myrtle Beach resort day passes?

Five of the six venues in this guide are also hotels, so one overnight stay can replace the day pass at Springmaid, Hilton, Homewood, Holiday Inn, or Kingston. Room guests at Holiday Inn Surfside Beach pay a daily service fee of $16.80 per guestroom that covers the pool and one parking space (hotel website, verified October 29, 2026). We did not source overnight rates, so use the live widget for current prices.

The stay options sit along different parts of the coast. Homewood Suites Oceanfront is steps from the boardwalk. Springmaid sits at the south end of Ocean Boulevard. Holiday Inn is in Surfside Beach, south of Myrtle Beach. Hilton and Embassy Suites sit within Kingston Resorts on the north end.
