Eating the rainbow never tasted so good!

Did anyone else grow up hearing the phrase “eating the rainbow” in the context of making healthy choices? The idea was that fruits and vegetables with bright colors are often healthier. Although this doesn’t always apply (rainbow sugar cookies I’m looking at you) it is a decent and fun rule to live by.

5 Pools In Scottsdale & Phoenix You Have to Check Out

Spending time poolside is essential in Scottsdale and Phoenix. Here are the best pools Scottsdale and Phoenix have to offer and some even have day passes available. I’m also sharing a hotel with FREE entry even if you’re not a guest! Read on for my exclusive guide.

Best Hotel Pools Scottsdale and Phoenix Arizona, plus one with FREE entry!
It’s hard to imagine a trip to Phoenix and Scottsdale without some serious time poolside. Even though we weren’t there in swimsuit weather, it was still warm enough to relax on a lounge chair and sip a cocktail. Luckily there are dozens of pools to choose from and for many of them you don’t need to be a hotel guest to get a day pass.

Of note, while I was researching visiting policies for this article, one of the hotels pointed me toward the website Resort Pass which sells day passes for many of the hotel pools in Phoenix and Scottsdale. This is definitely worth checking out if you’re staying at a hotel without a pool or renting an AirBnB on your trip.
