L’Auberge de Sedona day pass: what it costs

L’Auberge de Sedona is the luxury anchor of the comparison. The base Day Pass is listed at $100 per person but was unavailable on every sampled date across six weeks (ResortPass listing, verified September 2026). In practice, access to the creekside pool means booking a Daybed. Weekday Daybeds are $175 and weekend Daybeds are $300. A VIP Cabana runs $350 on weekdays and $600 on weekends. These are pre-fee prices; ResortPass adds a service fee at checkout. The property includes poolside service, lounge chairs, hot tub access, and the scenic Oak Creek setting. L’Apothecary Spa treatments are available but priced separately.

The room math matters here. A Daybed for two adults on a weekend costs $600 before the service fee and any food. A room at L’Auberge can run into the same range or higher for peak dates. If you are seriously considering the Daybed, compare it against off-peak room rates before booking. See the resort day pass vs booking the room breakdown for the full calculation method.

The Wilde Resort and Spa day pass: what it costs

The Wilde Resort and Spa sits at the foot of Thunder Mountain in West Sedona and runs the most complete day pass product in this comparison. The base Day Pass is $25 on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, and $35 on Friday and Saturday (ResortPass shop-api, verified September 2026). It includes pool and hot tub access, showers, lockers, towels, and free on-site parking (resort website, verified September 2026). The Spa Pass bundles pool access with Wilde Haven Spa steam rooms, outdoor soaking tubs, and relaxation lounge. It is $100 on Thursday and Monday, $125 on Friday, and $150 on Saturday and Sunday. The Meditation and Yoga activity is available separately at $40.

Note that the base Day Pass was unavailable on some sampled dates (ResortPass data, verified September 2026). On days when it sells out, the Spa Pass remains available. Book a day or two ahead to secure the lower tier.

Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock day pass: what it costs

The Hilton Sedona Bell Rock offers the most consistent pricing of all six properties. The Day Pass is a flat $65 for adults and $35 for children. There was no date-driven variation across the full sampled range (ResortPass listing, verified September 2026). It covers pool access, lounge chairs, and towels, with a poolside bar on-site. Cabanas run $150 on weekdays and Sundays, and $200 on Fridays and Saturdays. The Perfect Balance Package, which combines a 50-minute massage with a 50-minute facial and pool access, is listed at $330.

One cost to plan for: the Hilton charges $25 per day for self-parking (tripster.com, verified September 2026). That is an additional line item ResortPass does not absorb. Two adults paying for parking and day passes spend $155 before food.

Best Western Plus Arroyo Roble day pass: what it costs

The Best Western Plus Arroyo Roble Hotel and Creekside Villas in Uptown Sedona offers the most flexible pricing structure of the six. The Day Pass is $30 for adults and $15 for children. A Half-Day Pass is $15 for adults and $5 for children. A Family Pass covers a group for $115 flat. The Day Room is $90 on Thursday and Monday and $129 Friday through Sunday (ResortPass shop-api, verified September 2026). It is priced per room for up to four guests, with no separate child price. The property has both indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, steam room, and sauna (Booking.com and bestwestern.com, verified September 2026). It is a five-minute walk from central Uptown Sedona, which makes it a good combination of pool time and town access.

This is the strongest budget option for families. Four people, two adults and two children, pay $90 total on the Day Pass any day of the week. The Family Pass is $115 flat and covers the whole group regardless of size.

Arroyo Pinion Hotel day pass: what it costs

The Arroyo Pinion Hotel is the wellness outlier in this comparison. The base Day Pass is $25 for adults and $20 for children (ResortPass listing, verified September 2026). It covers the heated outdoor pool and lounge chairs. Where this property stands out is the a la carte wellness menu. A 30-minute Salt Room Experience costs $45, a 30-minute Red Light Therapy session costs $45, and a Sauna and Cold Plunge Session costs $45 each. The Himalayan Salt Therapy Room, Red Light Therapy Room, Cold Plunge Bath, and sauna are confirmed on-site amenities (choicehotels.com and tripadvisor.com, verified September 2026). A Family Pass runs $75 on weekdays and $95 on weekends. Cabanas are $150 across all sampled dates.

This is the right pick for visitors who want a recovery day after hiking. The cold plunge and sauna combination is the most useful post-trail amenity in Sedona’s day pass market.

GreenTree Inn Sedona day pass: what it costs

GreenTree Inn offers the lowest day pass sticker price in Sedona. The adult rate holds at $15 every sampled day except Saturday, when it rises to $35 (ResortPass shop-api, verified September 2026). Child pricing splits differently: $20 on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, and $30 on Friday and Saturday. A cabana is $65 every day, and a Day Room is $125 on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, rising to $150 on Friday and Saturday. The pool and hot tub overlook Thunder Mountain, and the ResortPass listing notes towels are provided. Drink service is listed as an available amenity.

The caveat here is context. At $15 per adult most days of the week, this is about entry-level pool access in a town where hiking trails are free. Confirm what amenities matter to your group before defaulting to price alone.

What each Sedona day pass is best for

Each of these six properties fills a specific role. The differences in price and amenities are large enough that the right pick depends entirely on your situation.

GreenTree Inn is the default for anyone who wants a pool day in Sedona without planning around it. At $15 most days of the week, you are not overpaying. The Thunder Mountain view is the same one you get at the Arroyo Pinion next door, and the cabana at $65 is the cheapest shaded poolside upgrade in the comparison.

Arroyo Pinion Hotel sits right next to GreenTree Inn and costs the same $25 for a day pass. But adds the option to book a salt room session, cold plunge, or red light therapy at $45 each. If you just finished a long hike on Devil’s Bridge and your legs are done, this is the correct answer.

Best Western Plus Arroyo Roble stands out for families. The indoor pool makes it weather-proof, the steam room and sauna add substance at no extra charge, and the $115 Family Pass caps the cost for larger groups. Being five minutes from Uptown Sedona on foot means you can walk to lunch without spending resort-price food money.

The Wilde Resort is the strongest all-around pick for couples. The combination of pool, hot tubs, showers, lockers, free parking, and an optional spa circuit covers every version of a daycation in one property. At $25 to $35 for the base pass, it is the most complete entry-level option in the group.

Hilton Sedona Bell Rock is the right call when you want a known brand, a full-service poolside bar, and no pricing surprises. The flat $65 every day removes the need to check the calendar before booking. The Red Rock setting near Bell Rock is one of the better pool views in Arizona.

L’Auberge de Sedona is a once-a-year kind of place. The creekside location is genuinely special, and the property runs on a level of detail that the other five do not match. But the base Day Pass is consistently sold out, and the Daybed at $175 to $300 is a real financial commitment. Plan it for a celebration rather than a casual Tuesday.

What to bring and when to arrive

Sedona in fall is warm in the afternoon and cool in the morning. Pool season runs through October without any heating concerns, but you may want a layer for early arrival. At most of these properties, the pool opens around 9 or 10 AM and day passes are valid until the pool closes in the late afternoon or early evening. Confirm the exact hours on the ResortPass listing for the date you book, since seasonal hours can shift.

Towels are included at the Wilde Resort, Hilton, GreenTree Inn, and most others, so you do not need to bring your own. Sunscreen is essential in the Sedona desert. If you are combining a day pass with a hike, book the pool for the afternoon and do the trail in the cooler morning hours. Arriving before noon means more time in the water and better access to lounge chairs before they fill up on busier days.

For the Arroyo Roble, its central Uptown Sedona location means parking in town can be competitive. The hotel has its own lot, but confirm day pass guest parking before you arrive. At the Wilde, parking is confirmed free on-site. At the Hilton, budget the $25 parking fee into your total before you leave the house.

What nobody tells you about Sedona day passes

The Sedona market has an important quirk. Some ResortPass listings show a low-priced Day Pass as the featured product, but that tier sells out before weekends or during peak fall weeks. The Wilde’s $25 base pass and L’Auberge’s $100 Day Pass both disappeared from availability across multiple sampled dates. What remains available is the higher-tier product, at a significantly higher price.

This is not a bait-and-switch. Both products are real and priced separately. But if you see a price on the ResortPass city page and then click through and find only a more expensive option, that is why. The fix is to check availability two to three days ahead and book the tier that is actually open rather than assuming the lowest price is accessible.

The resort fee dynamic is separate from the ResortPass booking. The Hilton charges a nightly resort fee for overnight guests that covers fitness center access, classes, and other amenities. Day pass holders pay only the ResortPass day pass rate plus the parking fee. You are not paying the resort fee. You also may not have access to every amenity it covers, such as the fitness classes at the Sedona Athletic Club.

What the check-in experience actually looks like

All six properties on this list book through ResortPass. The process is consistent. Reserve online, arrive at the front desk with your confirmation and a photo ID, and check in the same way a hotel guest would. The platform has agreements with these hotels, so the staff knows you are coming.

The experience varies by property quality and how well each front desk handles day pass volume. The Hilton Bell Rock and L’Auberge are large, experienced resorts where day pass guests are a normal part of operations. Smaller properties like GreenTree Inn and Arroyo Pinion may have a more casual check-in. Reading recent property-specific reviews on the ResortPass listing before booking gives the clearest signal on current check-in quality.

One practical note: the base Day Pass at L’Auberge was unavailable on all six sampled dates. If you show up without a confirmed booking expecting to pay the $100 Day Pass rate, it will not be available. Book in advance and book the Daybed or VIP Cabana tier if the creekside experience is your goal.

How Sedona day pass pricing shifts by day and season

Day-of-week pricing is a real factor at three of the six properties. It does not split cleanly into “weekday” and “weekend.” GreenTree Inn’s adult day pass holds at $15 every day except Saturday, when it rises to $35. Its child pricing follows a different split: $20 on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, and $30 on Friday and Saturday. The Wilde Resort’s base Day Pass is $25 on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, and $35 on Friday and Saturday. Best Western Plus Arroyo Roble’s Day Room follows a third pattern: $90 on Thursday and Monday, and $129 Friday through Sunday. The Hilton Bell Rock holds flat at $65 every day regardless of the calendar.

Fall in Sedona, September through November, is high season for hiking and sightseeing. Demand for day passes follows visitor volume. Checking prices two to three days before your visit lets you see whether weekend slots have sold out. It also shows whether the lower-tier products are still available, rather than committing to a higher tier weeks early. The Wilde’s Spa Pass, for instance, remained available on dates when the base Day Pass was sold out.

If you have a fixed Saturday visit, the Hilton Bell Rock’s flat pricing is the most predictable option. If you have any flexibility to go on a weekday, the Wilde or GreenTree Inn offer the best savings.

The better alternative: what to do instead

Three free or low-cost alternatives are worth considering before booking a resort day pass in Sedona.

Slide Rock State Park sits seven miles north of Sedona in Oak Creek Canyon. Entry is $20 per vehicle for one to four adults (Arizona State Parks website, verified September 2026), covering a natural 80-foot sandstone water slide, swimming holes, picnic areas, and restrooms. For a family of four, the total is $20 compared to $90 or more at any of the resort properties. The tradeoff is crowds in summer and no amenities beyond the park basics.

Grasshopper Point is a quieter swimming hole two miles north of Sedona with shaded areas, creek access, and flat rocks for lounging. Entry fee is much lower than Slide Rock (Arizona Recreation Area day use fee; confirm current rate at recreation.gov). It lacks the resort experience entirely but costs almost nothing.

Booking a room directly becomes the math winner at L’Auberge when the weekend Daybed hits $600 per person. At that price point, compare the room rate on the resort’s own website before confirming the day pass. L’Auberge rooms range widely depending on season and room type. A Daybed at $600 per person is already in the same ballpark as an entry-level room for one night at this property.
