The resort did not comment on the incident.
An Arizona woman staying at the resort, Sara Gaitan-Perez, told the Arizona Daily Star she and others tried to aid the victims, but the man didn't have a pulse when she arrived.
"We had just come from the pool, and my husband and son were in that very same (hot tub) about an hour before," she told the newspaper.
Experts say if you feel an electric current in a pool or a tub, then they should get out of the water immediately without touching any metal fixtures or ladders.
