Local Tips
Make sure you book early as during staycation season (late spring through summer), popular resorts sell out weeks in advance, particularly on weekends. Most passes include complimentary self-parking or validated valet, but it’s always worth double-checking the "Inclusions" section of your booking. Outside food and drinks (especially alcohol) are strictly prohibited by most properties. Bags are often checked at the pool entrance. If your schedule is flexible, weekday passes (Mon.-Thu.) are significantly cheaper (sometimes 50% less) and pools are much quieter.
To extend your poolside fun, take advantage of summer rates and save up to 60% on stays at Scottsdale’s finest hotels and resorts, which means more freedom to play, splurge and indulge in all the excitement our magical Sonoran Desert city has to offer.
