ResortPass Cancellation Guide: Day Pass Cutoff, Cabanas and Hotel-Specific Exceptions
ResortPass policy guide. ResortPass uses different standard cutoffs for different booking types and allows a hotel-specific policy to override those defaults when stated. Day passes generally use the night-before cutoff, while cabanas, daybeds and day rooms use an earlier day-before time. The ResortPass day-pass help article says a standard Day Pass can generally be canceled or modified by 11:59 p.m. the night before for a full refund to the original payment method or ResortPass credit. Day Pass and cabana/day-room cutoffs are not interchangeable.
For standard cabanas, daybeds and day rooms, ResortPass uses a different cutoff: 10:00 a.m. on the day before the reservation. A Day Pass is canceled at 8 p.m. the night before and no hotel-specific exception appears, so the standard Day Pass cutoff is the relevant rule. For this ResortPass transaction, keep the booking type and the property-specific policy together so the timing can be reconstructed if support reviews the request.

The rule set behind the answer
Timing point: ResortPass
The ResortPass day-pass help article says a standard Day Pass can generally be canceled or modified by 11:59 p.m. the night before for a full refund to the original payment method or ResortPass credit. A Day Pass is canceled at 8 p.m. the night before and no hotel-specific exception appears, so the standard Day Pass cutoff is the relevant rule. Day Pass and cabana/day-room cutoffs are not interchangeable. The useful evidence for that exact ResortPass situation is the booking type.
After the applicable cutoff, standard bookings are described as nonrefundable and nontransferable, including same-day cancellations and no-shows. Read that condition alongside the reservation date/time. If the two records point to different dates or statuses, ask ResortPass to confirm which one controls before assuming a refund, credit, cancellation or continued-access result.
Account point: ResortPass
For standard cabanas, daybeds and day rooms, ResortPass uses a different cutoff: 10:00 a.m. on the day before the reservation. A cabana is canceled at 4 p.m. the day before; that may be too late under the standard 10:00 a.m. cabana cutoff. A hotel-specific policy can override the default ResortPass timing. The useful evidence for that exact ResortPass situation is the property-specific policy.
When a hotel or ResortPass cancels and the experience is not rescheduled, the Terms provide for an automatic refund; that is different from a guest changing plans. Read that condition alongside the cancellation timestamp. If the two records point to different dates or statuses, ask ResortPass to confirm which one controls before assuming a refund, credit, cancellation or continued-access result.
Payment point: ResortPass
A hotel can publish a custom cancellation rule, and the hotel-specific policy shown on the property page or confirmation overrides the standard default. A hotel's confirmation states a stricter custom policy, which overrides the generic ResortPass timing shown elsewhere. Provider cancellation and guest cancellation are different refund events. The useful evidence for that exact ResortPass situation is the reservation date/time.
A rescheduled provider-side event can create a separate refund request if the guest cannot attend the new date under the applicable terms. Read that condition alongside the refund method choice. If the two records point to different dates or statuses, ask ResortPass to confirm which one controls before assuming a refund, credit, cancellation or continued-access result.
Service point: ResortPass
After the applicable cutoff, standard bookings are described as nonrefundable and nontransferable, including same-day cancellations and no-shows. The hotel cancels the experience entirely, creating an automatic-refund scenario rather than a guest voluntary cancellation. Day Pass and cabana/day-room cutoffs are not interchangeable. The useful evidence for that exact ResortPass situation is the cancellation timestamp.
The customer should distinguish an original-payment refund from ResortPass credit because the two are different forms of value. Read that condition alongside the provider cancellation notice if any. If the two records point to different dates or statuses, ask ResortPass to confirm which one controls before assuming a refund, credit, cancellation or continued-access result.
Status point: ResortPass
When a hotel or ResortPass cancels and the experience is not rescheduled, the Terms provide for an automatic refund; that is different from a guest changing plans. The guest accepts ResortPass credit and later calls it a card refund, even though the value remains inside the ResortPass ecosystem. A hotel-specific policy can override the default ResortPass timing. The useful evidence for that exact ResortPass situation is the refund method choice.

The official pages above are the factual source for this guide. The customer-specific booking type, reservation date/time and provider cancellation notice if any determine how those published rules apply to one real transaction.
Complete the request
- ResortPass step 1. Identify whether the reservation is a Day Pass, cabana/daybed, day room or another product. For standard cabanas, daybeds and day rooms, ResortPass uses a different cutoff: 10:00 a.m. on the day before the reservation. Preserve the cancellation timestamp before moving to the next step.
- ResortPass step 2. Read the hotel page and confirmation for a custom cancellation policy before relying on ResortPass's default cutoff. A hotel can publish a custom cancellation rule, and the hotel-specific policy shown on the property page or confirmation overrides the standard default. Preserve the refund method choice before moving to the next step.
- ResortPass step 3. If the standard Day Pass rule applies, cancel before 11:59 p.m. the night before; if the standard cabana/daybed/day-room rule applies, use the earlier 10:00 a.m. day-before cutoff. After the applicable cutoff, standard bookings are described as nonrefundable and nontransferable, including same-day cancellations and no-shows. Preserve the provider cancellation notice if any before moving to the next step.
- ResortPass step 4. Choose and record the available refund method when the cancellation flow offers original payment versus ResortPass credit. When a hotel or ResortPass cancels and the experience is not rescheduled, the Terms provide for an automatic refund; that is different from a guest changing plans. Preserve the booking type before moving to the next step.
- ResortPass step 5. If ResortPass or the hotel canceled the booking, keep the provider cancellation notice because a different refund rule applies. A rescheduled provider-side event can create a separate refund request if the guest cannot attend the new date under the applicable terms. Preserve the property-specific policy before moving to the next step.
- ResortPass step 6. Save the final cancellation/refund confirmation and monitor the original payment method or credit balance. The customer should distinguish an original-payment refund from ResortPass credit because the two are different forms of value. Preserve the reservation date/time before moving to the next step.
Examples from different timing points
ResortPass example 1
A Day Pass is canceled at 8 p.m. the night before and no hotel-specific exception appears, so the standard Day Pass cutoff is the relevant rule. The first rule to test is: A hotel can publish a custom cancellation rule, and the hotel-specific policy shown on the property page or confirmation overrides the standard default. A second rule changes the analysis: A rescheduled provider-side event can create a separate refund request if the guest cannot attend the new date under the applicable terms. A hotel-specific policy can override the default ResortPass timing. Keep the property-specific policy so the final answer is tied to the actual timing.
