Wonder if they still tack on their parking fee?
May think about it since they waived that resort fee.....

I'm surprised it took this long for this info to be posted here. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I'm not sure what the dates are to get the $129 rate. Hopefully, someone will post their dates, if they get that rate. We were able to book 10/16-10/20 @ Dolphin for $159/ night. The same nights were $179 @ Swan. One caveat, when my DH called a couple days ago, we could only book Swan for the 16th. We really wanted Dolphin for the dining options & didn't want to split our stay, so he tried back yesterday. He was then offered all 4 nights at Dolphin. For anyone who's interested, this code is also good for teachers & nurses. Good luck to all those who try. We're thrilled with our rate.

Woohoo! I just got that code in my email and we booked a 3-night weekend for DH's birthday in December!

We tried to book the last weekend of the Food and Wine Fest (Nov. 7th and 8th) but the rate wasn't good for those nights. We could have gotten the nurse's rate of $159 but since we are already booked for 2 other Food and Wine Fest weekends, we decided to just think about it for now.

My email says the rate DOES NOT include the mandatory $10 resort fee (it didn't mention the parking fee, but I already know that's extra ).

DH and I love the Dolphin!! We are so thrilled! We usually stay at Values (our 2 F & W Fest weekends are booked at Value Resorts), so this is an extra thrill for us.
