Naples Resort Day Passes: Five Properties Compared by Price and What's Inside
| Venue | Price | Verdict | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bellasera Hotel | $50 adult / $25 child | Worth It | Couples and small groups near 5th Avenue |
| Hyatt House Naples/5th Avenue | $40-$60 adult / $20-$40 child | Worth It | Weekday pool days with marina views |
| The Perry Hotel Naples | $65-$85 adult / $30-$40 child | Worth It Once | Anyone who wants a beach shuttle plus two pools |

Naples has five active day pass properties open right now, ranging from $40 at Hyatt House to $1,050 for a Ritz-Carlton bungalow. Bellasera and Hyatt House earn a worth-it rating for most visitors. Great Wolf Lodge earns one when your kids want waterpark slides. The Perry Hotel lands at worth-it-once for the beach shuttle bonus. The Ritz-Carlton’s cabana-only structure earns a skip-it unless a private poolside bungalow is the whole point. One more thing to confirm before you search: Naples Grande Beach Resort is closed through at least December 31, 2026, and no day pass is available there.

Bellasera Hotel: the $50 flat rate that doesn’t move
The Bellasera Hotel day pass costs $50 per adult and $25 per child every day of the week, with no weekday-to-weekend swing (ResortPass, verified August 2026). That flat structure is the rarest thing in the Naples day pass market. You do not need to check prices the night before or gamble on a Thursday arrival. The pass covers the outdoor heated pool and whirlpool spa, lounge chairs, and Wi-Fi (ResortPass listing, verified 2026-08-10). The property sits one block from 5th Avenue South, so the surrounding dining and shopping are a two-minute walk.
Food is not included. The Claw Bar provides poolside service until 5 p.m., and the restaurant is pay-as-you-go. The pool opens at 9 a.m. and closes at dusk (Bellasera website, verified August 2026). Self-parking is free for day pass visitors, per ResortPass’s listing; overnight guests separately pay a nightly resort fee that covers parking for one vehicle (Bellasera Hotel FAQ, verified 2026-08-10). Cabanas are first-come, first-served and not reservable in advance. A day room upgrade is also available: $130 on weekdays and $175 on weekends if you want a full suite with kitchen access.
Bellasera Hotel Day Pass
| Amenity | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Heated outdoor pool | Open 9 a.m. to dusk | |
| Whirlpool spa | Pool area | |
| Lounge chairs | First-come, first-served | |
| Wi-Fi | Property-wide | |
| Complimentary parking | Free for day pass guests (ResortPass); overnight resort fee covers parking separately | |
| Poolside cabanas | Available but first-come, first-served, not reservable | |
| Food and drinks | Menu pricing | The Claw Bar open until 5 p.m. |
| Beach access | No beach on property; resort is 1 mile from the shore | |
| Fitness center | On property but day pass inclusion not confirmed in ResortPass listing | |
| Towel service | Not confirmed for day pass holders; verify at check-in |
Hyatt House Naples/5th Avenue: marina views and a weekday floor
The Hyatt House Naples/5th Avenue day pass costs $40 per adult and $20 per child on weekdays. Weekend pricing rises to $60 per adult and $40 per child (ResortPass, verified August 2026). The weekend pass was unavailable on most sampled August dates, so weekday access is the reliable window. The pool sits beside the Gordon River with marina views and a poolside bar. The 24-hour fitness center, hot tub, and pool are the core amenities. Latitude 26 restaurant and a poolside bar are on site for pay-as-you-go food and drinks.
Parking is available on-site at approximately $29 per day for self-parking (Hotels.com listing, verified August 2026). If you factor parking into the calculation, the two-adult weekday cost with parking is around $109 before the ResortPass service fee, which shifts the math.
A private pool cabana is a separate booking: $199 on weekdays and $299 on weekends. Cabanas were available across all sampled dates when the base day pass was not, so the cabana is always the fallback option if the standard pass sells out.
Hyatt House Naples/5th Avenue Day Pass
The Perry Hotel Naples: two pools and a pontoon to the beach
The Perry Hotel Naples sells a Pool Pass bundled with a complimentary Pontoon Beach Shuttle for $65 per adult and $30 per child on weekdays. Weekend pricing rises to $85 per adult and $40 per child (ResortPass, verified August 2026). Both rates were available across all six sampled August dates, so availability is the strongest in this comparison. The pass includes access to two pools: a family-friendly ground-level pool beside the activity lawn, and an adults-only seventh-floor rooftop pool with panoramic Gulf Coast views. Lounge chairs are first-come, first-served. Towels are included.
The Pontoon Beach Shuttle is the distinctive feature. It departs from the hotel’s marina dock and travels through the Cocohatchee River to Barefoot Beach, about 15 minutes each way (Perry Hotel website, verified August 2026). A ground shuttle to Vanderbilt Beach is also available. Day pass holders receive 20% off food at the Bodega poolside restaurant (visitnaplesfl.com, verified August 2026). Complimentary Wi-Fi and self-parking are included.
A Family Pass is also available: $160 per adult and $160 per child on weekdays, $210 per adult and $210 per child on weekends. A private Pool Daybed is a separate booking at $205 to $235.

| Amenity | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Family ground-level pool | Activity lawn adjacent | |
| Adults-only rooftop pool (7th floor) | Panoramic Gulf views | |

| 20% off Bodega poolside food | Applied at checkout | |
| Water excursions | Fee varies | Kayak, paddle, fishing, cruises available |

Vanderbilt Beach Resort: beachfront pool with a booking window
The Vanderbilt Beach Resort day pass costs $75 per adult and $10 per child on weekdays. Weekend pricing rises to $150 per adult and $10 per child (ResortPass, verified August 2026). The Family Pass runs $160 per adult and $210 per child on weekdays, $210 per adult and $210 per child on weekends. The catch: across all six sampled August dates, only Monday showed the standard day pass available. The Saturday and Sunday Family Pass was also unavailable on every sampled weekend date. August is clearly a constrained booking window at this property.
When it is available, this is the most direct beachfront pool access on this list at the lowest per-person rate. The heated infinity pool sits directly beside the Gulf, lounge chairs line the water’s edge, and the Turtle Club Restaurant handles food. Beach access includes complimentary beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas on a first-come, first-served basis (ResortPass listing, verified 2026-08-10). Parking is free on site. The property is family-owned and has operated on Vanderbilt Beach for more than 50 years (resort website, verified August 2026).
Vanderbilt Beach Resort Day Pass
Great Wolf Lodge Naples: the indoor waterpark day pass
The Great Wolf Lodge Naples day pass runs $60 per person on weekdays, $79-$88 on Sundays and Fridays, and up to $91 on Saturdays (ResortPass, verified August 2026). Adults and children pay the same rate. Children 2 and under are free (Great Wolf Lodge website, verified August 2026). The 92,000-square-foot indoor waterpark runs at 84 degrees year-round. That means summer heat and August afternoon thunderstorms are irrelevant. Towels are included. Life jackets are available first-come, first-served at no charge.
This is the only waterpark day pass in Naples. It opened in 2024 as Florida’s first Great Wolf Lodge. The waterpark is designed for families: slides, pools, wave pool, and a lazy river. Day pass holders skip the lobby check-in line and head directly to Water Park Guest Services. Availability was confirmed across all six sampled dates. Weekend passes were not marked unavailable.
Self-parking costs $25 per day for day pass guests (greatwolf.com, verified 2026-08-10).
For more context on how Great Wolf Lodge day passes work across locations, see the Great Wolf Lodge day pass overview.
Great Wolf Lodge Naples Day Pass
| Amenity | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Indoor waterpark (92,000 sq ft) | 84 degrees year-round; slides, wave pool, lazy river | |
| Towels | Included with day pass | |
| Life jackets | First-come, first-served, no charge | |
| Children 2 and under | Free; no pass required | |
| Daily family events | Dance parties, story time, arts and crafts | |
| Adventure Park attractions | Priced separately | Arcade, climbing wall, and other paid activities |
| Private cabana | Priced separately | Optional upgrade |
| Food and drinks | Menu pricing | Multiple on-property dining outlets |
| Spa or fitness center | Great Wolf Lodge Naples does not have a gym or spa | |
| Outdoor pool or beach access | Indoor waterpark only |
The Ritz-Carlton, Naples: cabana only, no base pass
The Ritz-Carlton, Naples does not sell a base day pass. The only ResortPass product is a private cabana or bungalow rental. A Family Pool Cabana or Adult Pool Cabana runs $700 on weekdays and $800 on weekends. A Family Pool Bungalow or Adult Pool Bungalow runs $950 on weekdays and $1,050 on weekends. Beach Cabanas are listed at $1,000 per unit but were unavailable on every sampled August date (ResortPass, verified August 2026). Each bungalow rental includes air conditioning, a private restroom, and a mini-refrigerator stocked with waters and non-alcoholic beverages (Marriott Bonvoy day pass platform, verified August 2026).
There is no per-person entry ticket. A party of two pays the same cabana fee as a party of six. For small groups, the per-person cost can be steep. At a weekday cabana rate of $700, a party of two pays $350 per adult. That exceeds the Perry Hotel weekend adult pass, the Vanderbilt Beach Resort weekday pass, and a Great Wolf Lodge Saturday pass all added together.
The Ritz-Carlton is a genuine luxury experience: three pools, a beachfront setting, a dedicated poolside butler, and culinary service at the pools. For the right group, the cabana is justifiable. For everyone else, the math does not work.
For more information on how the Ritz-Carlton approaches day access across its portfolio, see the Ritz-Carlton day pass overview.
Naples Grande Beach Resort: not available in 2026
Naples Grande Beach Resort closed for a comprehensive renovation on April 1, 2026. Guest accommodations, pool areas, and meeting spaces are closed. The reopening is targeted for January 2027 (Naples Grande website, verified August 2026). The ResortPass listing carries a closed notice. Do not book a day pass there. Several on-site partners remain open during the renovation, including Clam Pass beach services, but the pool and resort amenity day pass is gone until 2027.
This matters for planning because Naples Grande was historically the most searched day pass property in this market. All the demand is now distributed across the five properties above.
The room math: when booking a night beats buying passes
The comparison only makes sense with numbers. Here is the frame for each property.
At Bellasera, two adults plus two children spend $150 on day passes before the service fee. A one-night suite runs well above that on most dates. The day pass wins cleanly for a pool day.
At Hyatt House, the same family spends $120 on weekday passes without parking, or $149 with parking. A guest room at this 183-room hotel starts in the mid-200s during summer. The day pass still wins, but the margin is tighter.
At The Perry Hotel, a family of four on a weekday spends $190 before the service fee. Add food, and the total edges toward $250-$280. If the hotel is running a promotion or you plan to stay past the pool and eat a full meal, a one-night rate may close the gap. Check the direct booking page before committing.
At Great Wolf Lodge, a family of four on a Saturday spends $364 on passes before service fee and parking. A lodge suite with the waterpark already included can be surprisingly close to that figure during summer. Run the comparison on the Great Wolf Lodge website before purchasing passes for a Saturday.
For more on the general framework behind this comparison, see resort day pass vs booking the room.
Naples has some of the best free public beaches in Southwest Florida. Vanderbilt Beach Park charges $10 for parking (free with a Collier County resident sticker). Clam Pass Park has a free tram through the mangroves and a beachfront bar once you arrive. Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park is a 199-acre barrier island with a mile-long beach accessible from the Perry Hotel’s marina by water shuttle. None of these require a pass. If your goal is a Gulf beach day, start there before spending on a resort pass.
- Couples seeking a downtown pool day · Bellasera's flat $50 rate and 5th Avenue location make it the easiest pick for a no-fuss pool afternoon.
- Weekday local staycations · Hyatt House at $40 per adult with marina views is the lowest per-person rate on the list for a standard pool day.
- Families wanting a beach shuttle plus pools · The Perry Hotel's pontoon shuttle turns the day pass into a Gulf beach outing without needing a car.
- School-age kids who want waterpark slides · Great Wolf Lodge is the only waterpark day pass in Naples and runs year-round at 84 degrees.
- Post-checkout layover before an evening flight · Bellasera or Hyatt House both offer clean pool access with Wi-Fi for travelers who need a few hours between checkout and departure.
- Budget-focused families on a Saturday · Great Wolf Lodge hits $91 per person on peak Saturdays. A family of four spends $364 before food and parking, which approaches or exceeds a lodge suite.
- Anyone specifically looking for Naples Grande · The resort is closed through at least December 31, 2026. No day pass exists until 2027.
- Groups wanting beach access from a pool pass · Bellasera and Hyatt House are inland from the Gulf. Only the Perry Hotel and Vanderbilt Beach Resort connect directly to Gulf-side sand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a Naples resort day pass?
Inclusions vary by property. Bellasera and Hyatt House cover pool access, lounge chairs, and Wi-Fi. The Perry Hotel's pass adds a complimentary pontoon beach shuttle and 20% off food. Great Wolf Lodge includes full indoor waterpark access and towels. Food and drinks are pay-as-you-go at every property unless the pass explicitly states otherwise.
Is a day pass in Naples cheaper than booking a hotel room?
For most properties, yes. A day pass at Hyatt House runs $40 to $60 per adult, while a guest room starts well above $200 per night. At Bellasera, the gap is even wider since the day pass stays flat at $50 regardless of the day of the week. The room math only flips if your group is large enough that multiple passes add up near a room rate.
Can you use ResortPass in Naples without being a hotel guest?
Yes. ResortPass sells day passes for multiple Naples properties to anyone. Buyers receive a confirmation and check in at the resort's front desk or pool desk. The platform cancels most bookings up to 24 hours before arrival for a full refund. Reading property-specific reviews on ResortPass before booking is the best way to confirm the check-in experience.
Does Naples Grande Beach Resort sell day passes in 2026?
No. Naples Grande Beach Resort closed for a full renovation on April 1, 2026, and will not reopen overnight accommodations until January 2027 at the earliest. Day pass access is not available during this period. The ResortPass listing carries a closed notice. Plan with one of the other properties on this page instead.
Which Naples day pass is best for families with young children?
Great Wolf Lodge Naples is the strongest family pick. The indoor waterpark runs at 84 degrees year-round, so summer heat is irrelevant. Day passes run $60 to $91 per person depending on the date. Children 2 and under are free. The Perry Hotel's family ground pool and beach shuttle is a softer, more resort-style alternative at $30 to $40 per child.
Do Naples day pass prices change by day of the week?
Yes, at most properties. Hyatt House charges $40 per adult on weekdays and $60 on weekends. Vanderbilt Beach Resort moves from $75 to $150 per adult. Great Wolf Lodge shifts between $60 and $91 depending on demand. Bellasera is the exception: $50 for adults and $25 for children every day of the week (ResortPass, verified August 2026).
Are locker rooms and showers available with a Naples hotel day pass?
Most properties do not advertise locker or shower access for day pass holders in their ResortPass listings. The Perry Hotel includes complimentary self-parking and Wi-Fi, but shower access is not confirmed for non-overnight guests. If freshen-up facilities matter, contact the property directly before booking to confirm what is available on arrival.
