Scanmom,
I just booked the Dolphin in case AP rates don't come out for May. I got a
AAA rate of $147.50. This does not include the 11.5% tax and $10.00 resort fee for coffee, newspaper, and health club. I was told by the agent that I could ask at check-in to have the fee waived if I wasn't going to use any of those features.
The Agent also added that the AP, Entertainment, and AAA rate were all the same ($147.50). The Swan rate is $164.50 because of the newly finished renovation. The Agent said the Dolphin was scheduled to finish it's renovation at the end of April.
As for the suties, the prices are very expensive. I believe there was a post in one of the threads that gave a link to a site that quoted suite prices without rates. I've found it for you

If you are a Starwood Preferred Guest member you may qualify for a free upgrade. Make sure to ask for the free upgrad at check-in and let the Agent know you are a member when you make the reservation.
Good luck and have a great trip!
