All prices below come from ResortPass booking data for 16 dates, Thursday Oct 22 to Tuesday Nov 24, 2026, pulled October 21, 2026. Checkout totals come from live ResortPass carts built the same day.

Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort: the most pool for the money

The Grand Hyatt Scottsdale day pass cost $50 per adult and $35 per child on 11 of the 16 dates we checked. All five Saturdays in the window, Oct 24 through Nov 21, were $70 per adult and $50 per child. Fridays and Sundays were priced like weekdays. Adults are 16 and over, and the child price covers ages 3 to 15.

The pass covers 10 interconnected pools, two oversized hot tubs, an adult pool with the H2Oasis bar, and a family pool area with games. It also includes a three-story waterslide with a 42-inch height minimum, a sandy beach with zero-entry pool access, lounge chairs, towels, and Wi-Fi (ResortPass pass description). The slide runs 11am to 5pm and the towel bar 9am to 5pm. Food and drinks cost extra.

Spa Avania is a separate Spa Pass for adults 18 and over, and it does not include the main pools. It cost $105 on bookable Monday to Wednesday dates, $125 on Thursday Oct 22, and $125 to $150 Friday to Sunday. Wednesday Oct 28 and Wednesday Nov 18 were blocked out. The circuit covers an alpine dry sauna, a chromotherapy steam room, hot and cold plunges, an outdoor mineral pool, locker rooms, and a relaxation room.

Parking: free with validation, per ResortPass. The ResortPass listing says self-parking is complimentary for day pass guests who bring the garage ticket to check-in. The hotel’s own parking page lists hourly self-parking and valet rates for other visitors and does not mention day passes. Hand the ticket to the front desk when you check in.

A Saturday family of four came to $288.12 at checkout on Saturday Nov 7. That is $240 in passes, a $28.80 ResortPass fee, and $19.32 tax. The same four people paid $204.09 on Sunday Nov 8, because Sunday is priced like a weekday.

Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia: the best weekday value

The Omni Montelucia day pass, at the family Kasbah pool, cost $35 per adult and per child on all seven Monday to Thursday dates we checked. All nine Friday to Sunday dates were $50 per adult and $40 per child. Adults are 13 and over, and the child price covers ages 3 to 12.

The pass covers a heated outdoor pool, a hot tub, lounge chairs, towel service, Wi-Fi, and complimentary self-parking (ResortPass pass description). It does not include the adults-only Oasis pool or the Joya Spa pools. The gym, showers, and lockers are not on the day pass inclusion list.

The Adults-Only Oasis Pool Day Pass is a separate product for guests 21 and over. It cost $50 Monday to Thursday, $55 on both Sundays, and $85 on every Friday and Saturday we checked. It covers the Oasis pool, a hot tub, towels, self-parking, and access to the Tiki Social pop-up bar.

The Joya Spa Pass, for adults 18 and over, cost $99 Monday to Thursday and $149 on Fridays and Sundays. It was blocked out on all five Saturdays we checked. It covers the Joya Terrace rooftop pool, a hot tub, a steam room, a sauna, a relaxation lounge, the Joya fitness center, and one fitness class. It does not include the Kasbah or Oasis pools.

The resort sits at 4949 East Lincoln Drive in Paradise Valley, a separate town bordering Scottsdale. Omni’s own spa page describes Joya Spa as a 31,000-square-foot facility.

Parking: free self-parking with validation. The hotel’s own policies page lists self-parking as complimentary for ResortPass guests with ticket validation at reception, and daytime valet at $15. The ResortPass listing agrees on free self-parking but says to validate the ticket at Centro Restaurant, so ask at reception which desk applies.

The Scott Resort & Spa: the cheapest family day in Scottsdale

The Scott Resort & Spa day pass cost $40 per adult and $20 per child on all seven Monday to Thursday dates we checked. Friday to Sunday it was $50 and $25, and Friday Oct 23 was not bookable. Children are 3 to 12.

The pass covers the main resort pool, a children’s pool with a sandy beach, and a hot tub. It also includes poolside service from the Canal Club, the fitness center, Wi-Fi, and complimentary valet parking (ResortPass pass description). The resort’s own FAQ also says onsite parking is complimentary. Towels are not on the pass inclusion list, so ask at check-in or bring your own.

La Vidorra Spa massage or facial bundles with the day pass were a flat $149 on every bookable date. Cabanas for up to four people, with their day passes included, ran $300 to $400 before a 22% service charge collected at the resort.

Two adults paid $96.04 at checkout on Wednesday Oct 28: $80 in passes, a $9.60 fee, and $6.44 tax. A family of four paid $144.06 that day, the lowest family total in this comparison. On Saturday Nov 7 the same family paid $180.08.

The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection Resort: the five-diamond pool day

The Phoenician day pass cost $60 on every bookable Monday to Thursday date, $70 on Fridays, $80 on Sundays, and $85 on Saturdays. Children 3 to 17 pay the adult price. The listing also says a 20% service charge applies to the pass, and it did not appear in the ResortPass checkout total.

Availability is the catch. The pass was blocked on 2 of the 16 dates we checked, Tuesday Nov 3 and Tuesday Nov 10, and a live cart for Nov 10 was refused. The Spa Pass was bookable on only 6 of the 16 dates, all Monday to Thursday. Check your date before you plan the day around it.

The pass covers a heated outdoor pool, a hot tub, the splash pad and kids’ zone, lounge chairs, towel service, and poolside service from Kalio Kabobery (ResortPass pass description). Marriott’s own day pass listing describes a three-level pool complex with Camelback Mountain views and calls the property a AAA Five Diamond resort. ResortPass lists pool hours of 10am to 5pm and slide hours of 11am to 5pm. Outside food and drinks are not allowed.

The Spa Pass, for adults 18 and over, was $150 on every bookable date. It covers a sauna, a steam room, a rooftop spa pool, a hot tub, a relaxation lounge, locker rooms, and the fitness center. A 20% service charge applies at spa check-in.

Parking costs extra. The ResortPass listing and Marriott’s own day pass listing both say self-parking and valet are paid. Neither posts a rate, so ask the resort when you book.

Marriott’s iDayPass portal sells the same pass directly. On Wednesday Oct 28 it listed $70 before tax against $60 on ResortPass, and on Saturday Oct 24 it listed $120 against $85. Every November date showed a flat $50, which may be a placeholder until rates load, so compare both channels for your date.

A family of four paid $409.12 at ResortPass checkout on Saturday Nov 7: $340 in passes, a $40.80 fee, and $28.32 tax at 8.33%. If the listed 20% service charge is applied to the $340 pass price, add $68, plus paid parking.

Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows: adults-only and priced accordingly

The Andaz Scottsdale Turquoise Day Pass cost $75 on all 16 dates we checked, weekday or weekend. It is restricted to adults 21 and over. The booking data carries a child price field, but a live cart with one child was refused. The error set a limit of zero children per adult, so no child pass can be booked.

The pass covers the heated Turquoise Pool, a hot tub, lounge chairs, food and drink service from the Turquoise Pool Bar, indoor and outdoor showers, and Wi-Fi (ResortPass pass description). Towels are not on the inclusion list. Pool and bar hours are 11am to 5pm, the shortest window in this comparison.

The steam room and relaxation lounge belong to the Palo Verde Spa, sold as a separate Spa Pass for adults 18 and over. It cost $60 on all seven Monday to Thursday dates we checked, and every Friday to Sunday date was blocked out. The Spa Pass does not include the Turquoise Pool.

Parking costs extra. Hyatt’s FAQ page for the resort lists self-parking at $23 per day and valet at $35 per day. The ResortPass pass description also says parking carries a fee, though its parking note shows lower figures, so budget the hotel’s posted rate.

Two adults paid $180.90 at checkout on both Wednesday Oct 28 and Saturday Nov 7. That is $150 in passes, an $18 fee, and $12.90 tax at 8.6%. Add $23 self-parking and the day comes to $203.90 before drinks.

The flat price means no weekday discount. One quirk helps couples: the Turquoise Daybed was also $150 on every date and includes Turquoise passes for two adults, before an 18% service fee charged at the resort.

Sanctuary Camelback Mountain (nearby, Phoenix): the infinity pool alternative

Sanctuary Camelback Mountain sits outside Scottsdale, and ResortPass files it under Phoenix while showing it on its Scottsdale page. The day pass cost $50 on 15 of the 16 dates we checked, including four of the five Saturdays. Saturday Oct 24 was the exception at $75.

Day guests must be 18 or older, and children are allowed only as hotel guests. The pass covers a heated pool, which ResortPass tags as an infinity pool, a hot tub, lounge chairs, towel service, Wi-Fi, and complimentary parking. The ResortPass parking note says both self-parking and valet are free.

Poolside dining runs 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 6pm on weekends. The Infinity Pool Cabana was listed at $390 but was not bookable on any of the 16 dates. Massage or facial bundles with the day pass ran $230 Monday to Thursday and $255 Friday to Sunday.

Two adults paid $120.80 at checkout on Wednesday Oct 28 and again on Saturday Nov 7. That is $100 in passes, a $12 fee, and $8.80 tax.

Cost comparison across all six venues

Booking: where to buy and what to expect at check-in

Check-in differs by property. The Grand Hyatt, Omni, Scott, and Andaz check you in at the front desk with photo ID and your booking. The Phoenician checks you in with the pool attendant, and Sanctuary at the bell desk by the front drive. At the Grand Hyatt, Omni, and The Scott, hand over your parking ticket at check-in for validation.

On their ResortPass pages, the Andaz rates 4.7 out of 5 from 585 reviews and the Grand Hyatt 4.6 from 1,620. The Omni rates 4.5 from 1,013, The Scott 4.5 from 396, Sanctuary 4.5 from 154, and The Phoenician 4.4 from 177 (checked October 21, 2026). Read recent reviews for current operating notes before you book.

What a day pass does and does not include

Every property in this comparison follows the same structure. The base day pass covers pool access, a hot tub, and the right to order food and drinks at your own expense. Five of the six also list first-come lounge chairs; The Scott does not. None of the base passes include a food or drink credit. Towels are on the inclusion list at the Grand Hyatt, Omni, Phoenician, and Sanctuary, but not at The Scott or the Andaz.

What is always extra:

• Poolside food and drinks, at menu prices. The Scott and The Phoenician listings both bar outside food and drinks.
• Spa access. The Grand Hyatt, Omni, Phoenician, and Andaz each sell a separate Spa Pass, and three of the four say outright that it excludes the main pools.
• Cabanas and daybeds. Bookable prices ran from $100 for a Grand Hyatt adult daybed to $975 for its VIP cabana, and most add an 18% to 22% service charge at the resort.
• Parking at the Andaz, where the hotel lists $23 self-parking, and at The Phoenician, where parking is paid but no rate is posted.

Practical facilities: Only the Andaz lists showers with its base pass. Locker rooms appear in the spa passes at the Grand Hyatt, Phoenician, and Andaz, not in the pool passes. If you need to shower before a flight, budget for a spa pass or ask the front desk first.

Where to stay near Scottsdale resorts

If the day pass does not add up and a room is the better call, or you want to stay near the resort corridor for less:

Scottsdale resort day pass: tips before you book

Book Monday to Thursday. The Omni, The Scott, and The Phoenician were cheapest Monday to Thursday, and the Grand Hyatt charged more only on Saturday. Two adults saved $24.01 to $48.02 at checkout by moving from Saturday Nov 7 to Wednesday Oct 28 at The Scott, the Omni, and the Grand Hyatt. The Andaz never discounts.

Check your date before you plan around it. The Phoenician day pass was blocked on 2 of 16 dates. Spa passes were the hardest to get: the Omni’s on no Saturday we checked, the Andaz’s on no Friday to Sunday, and The Phoenician’s on only 6 weekdays.

Arrive at pool opening. Lounge chairs are first come, first served wherever a base pass lists them. Pool hours vary widely: the Grand Hyatt pool opens at 6am, The Phoenician at 10am, and the Andaz Turquoise Pool at 11am, per ResortPass.

Budget separately for food. No base pass includes a food or drink credit, and cabanas and daybeds add a service charge of 18% to 22% at the resort. Set a food budget before you compare a pass with a room.

Sort out parking at check-in. Bring your parking ticket to the front desk at the Grand Hyatt, Omni, and The Scott for free validation. Sanctuary also includes parking. Budget $23 for self-parking at the Andaz, and ask The Phoenician for its rate when you book.

Do not bring outside food or alcohol. The Scott and The Phoenician listings both prohibit outside food and drinks. Assume the same rule at the others unless the resort tells you otherwise.

How we verify: Prices come from ResortPass booking data for 16 dates, Oct 22 to Nov 24, 2026, and from 28 live checkout carts built October 21, 2026. Parking comes from each hotel’s own website wherever it posts a policy. See how we verify for more detail on our research methodology.
