How to Capture Same-Day Bookings

Written by ResortPass | Jun 23, 2025 7:16:51 PM

One clear trend we see at ResortPass is that booking a daycation can be a spontaneous decision. Day guests want the flexibility to book a pool day on a whim, and hotels that don't accommodate this preference are leaving money on the table.

Most Bookings are Made within 24 hours

During peak season (June 1-August 31), over half of all pool bookings are made within 24 hours of check-in. Whether it's a last-minute daycation, an impromptu family outing, or just a perfectly sunny day, spontaneous bookings represent a massive revenue opportunity.

Your Competition Is Already There

Over 80% of pool products on ResortPass currently allow same-day booking. If your hotel's amenities don't offer this flexibility, you're essentially handing potential guests to your competitors. This means that when day guests are search for immediate availability, properties without same-day booking enabled don’t even show up – even when there is available inventory.

Capture the Impulse Market

When guests can book and use amenities immediately, there's no time for second-guessing or finding alternatives. This immediacy creates a seamless experience that today's locals expect and value.

The solution is simple: enable same-day booking to stay competitive and capture this lucrative segment of spontaneous travelers.
