What Daypass.com does

Daypass.com is a travel-technology marketplace that enables travelers to book daytime access to hotel pools, spas, beach clubs, golf courses, and other resort amenities without an overnight stay. Founded in 2023 in Mexico City and led by CEO Rafael Gómez, the platform operates as a direct-to-consumer booking surface across web and native iOS and Android applications, with digital pass delivery and QR-based check-in at the property. As of its 2025 launch the company aggregated 600+ hotels, resorts, and beach clubs across more than 20 countries, including partnerships with Iberostar, Princess Hotels, Wyndham, Hyatt, Anantara, and IHG, and reported $1M+ in gross merchandise value and 10,000+ day passes sold within the first six months.

The underlying platform is a mobile-first booking system with instant confirmation, integrated hotel property-management system connectivity, and real-time availability. Operational features include refundable and weather-flexible rate options, digital wallet-stored passes, and live multilingual WhatsApp customer support that the company cites as having served 140K+ guests. Distribution is entirely digital and self-serve, with no traditional reseller or travel-agent channel; the company is incorporated as Daypass.com LLC in the United States.

Daypass.com monetizes via a transaction-fee / commission model on each day pass booked through the marketplace. Pricing is variable by property and experience tier, with day passes ranging from approximately $5 to $779+ depending on the venue, amenities, and inclusions, and the majority of inventory priced in the $24–$180 band. In February 2026 the company closed a $2 million funding round led by a hospitality-focused private equity group to finance expansion into 26 countries across Europe, Latin America, the United States, and other tourism hubs, alongside technology development and deeper hotel-chain partnerships.

Others

• Airbnb Experiences: Airbnb Experiences offers curated local activities and experiences booked alongside or independent of stays. While not a direct day-use hotel competitor, it represents an adjacent platform competing for the same experience-seeking traveler wallet.

Broad incumbents

• GetYourGuide: GetYourGuide is a major global marketplace for tours, activities, and attractions. It is comparable to Daypass.com as a curated experiences booking platform and could enter the hotel day-use category given its scale and consumer reach.
• Klook: Klook is a leading Asia-Pacific travel activities and experiences booking platform. It overlaps with Daypass.com in the tours, activities, and attractions category and represents a potential competitive threat if it expands into hotel day-use inventory.
• Expedia: Expedia is a global online travel platform with extensive hotel and experience inventory. Comparable as a broad OTA that could enter the day-use hotel category, leveraging its existing supply relationships and consumer reach.
• Booking.com: Booking.com is the world's largest online travel agency with global hotel supply relationships. It could trivially add day-use inventory as a new product vertical, posing a significant competitive threat to Daypass.com's niche positioning.
• Viator: Viator (owned by Tripadvisor) is a global tours and experiences marketplace with broad inventory across leisure activities. It is comparable to Daypass.com in the curated experiences space and represents a potential expansion path into hotel amenity access.

Direct peers

• Daybreak Hotels: Daybreak Hotels is a day-use hotel booking platform offering daytime room access at hotels worldwide. It competes directly with Daypass.com in the hotel day-use category, though with a stronger focus on room booking rather than pool/amenity access.
• Daycation: Daycation operates a similar day-pass booking platform for hotels and resorts, primarily across Europe and the Middle East. It directly competes with Daypass.com in both product offering (hotel day access) and customer base (leisure travelers seeking premium day-use experiences).
• ResortPass: ResortPass is the leading US-based direct competitor in the day-use hotel pool and amenity booking category. It is the closest comparable to Daypass.com in business model (transaction-fee marketplace for day passes), product (hotel/resort amenity access), and target customer (leisure and experience seekers seeking luxury access without overnight stays).

Emerging players

• Swimply: Swimply is a marketplace for booking private swimming pools and amenities by the hour. While focused on residential pools rather than hotel amenities, it shares the same day-use leisure booking model and target customer (experience seekers accessing premium pools without ownership).
