Have you ever dreamed of living the resort life, even if just for a day? A new trend in the hotel industry is transforming that dream into reality! Companies like ResortPass and Daycation are now offering deals where you can use luxurious amenities such as the beach, pools, fitness centers, and more in selected hotels for a day. This means that even if you can't book a stay, you can still immerse yourself in the resort experience.

However, this trend hasn't yet taken off in the Destin area, especially when it comes to condos. While it might sound appealing to have a day pass for these luxuriously appointed condo complexes, the reality is a bit more complicated. Each condo would require agreement from all the unit owners to offer day passes, which creates an extra layer of complexity not found in singularly-owned hotels. But on the bright side, this very condition leads to an added sense of exclusivity and offers guests more space and tranquility to enjoy on-site amenities.
