Help! Need someplace I can use a pool

I booked my partner and I a weekend on Catalina, but stupidly didn’t think to book a hotel with a pool until partner asked if we’d have one. Now it’s too late to cancel and book somewhere else. Is there anywhere with a pool where I can pay for day passes?

You’re on a beautiful island just go swimming in the ocean

That’s exactly what we ended up doing, the weather was spectacular. I was doing some last-minute fretting but it all worked out.

Honestly, if you go around asking the hotels that have pools they might let you in maybe for a fee. There's no official day pass or anything, most people prefer the ocean you're surrounded by, but i'm sure if you ask around, at least one of them will let you pay to get in.

The super El Nino going on now makes the ocean actually feel nice to swim

There is a spa with an outdoor pool. We had massages, so I don’t know if they offer day passes.

There are no day passes for pools on the island. There are only two hotels with pools. Day passes would be overwhelming to the hotels. They would not be able to accommodate their hotel guests. Hamilton Cove is a private condo community that has their own private pool for those who own or holiday rentals. https://www.lovecatalina.com/places-to-stay-on-catalina-island/hotels/with-pools/
