Some here have said they had room service more than once every 4 days and the towels you get at the pool. They will look at your room key.Do you know if they will clean the room more often than once every 4 days? We are there 6 nights and are gonna need towels, shampoo, etc. Also, are the pool towels by the pool or check out from the room?
I prefer the queen beds at Swan..I'm going solo in under two weeks for 4 days. Which is better Swan or Dolphin? Swan is only 7 dollars more per day. Worth it?

Mine disconnected after receiving my room #.I just checked in on the app for our upcoming stay at SR. I've seen this can trigger MDE to "lose" or "deconnect" the reservation. After I checked in on the app I still see my resort reveration. Does anyone know:
(A) the frequency that the reservations become disconnected?
(B) the tineframe on when it does get disconnected from MDE?
From what I can tell, the reservation tends to fall off of MDE when a modification is made to the reservation whether that be a change in rate or just checking in. Sometimes it falls off for no reason at all. I booked directly with Marriott as soon as the dates opened. My reservation was on MDE for a few months and randomly fell off. I added it back and it’s stayed ever since. I have my resort confirmation email in my flagged folder for easy access should it happen again. Best I can do is add it back and continue on.I just checked in on the app for our upcoming stay at SR. I've seen this can trigger MDE to "lose" or "deconnect" the reservation.

They cleaned or offered to clean our room daily. We got coffee refills and bottled water as well. To get towels, show your key card to the attendant at the pool and you'll get them.Do you know if they will clean the room more often than once every 4 days?

I think the difference was $35 for the nights this equaling 210$ over the 6 nights.Wow what week are you going JoJo to get a rate of $210 for a balcony?

I’m going Labor Day week and got a balcony at Dolphin for an average of $266/night before fees and taxes ($339/night all in). I’ve cancelled and rebooked several times to get better rates. My current reservation was booked in early February.Wow what week are you going JoJo to get a rate of $210 for a balcony?
We've stayed at both and like both resorts. We prefer the Dolphin since we like Fuel and the lobby bar, Fins and there are more dining options than at the Swan and lastly the proximity to the pool. The Dolphin resort as a whole is a lot larger than the Swan but given it's all interior hallways, I don't mind. I would guess that shortness of walk to parks would vary based on where your room is in either resort, but I really don't think it would be longer than a 5 min difference at either the Swan or Dolphin considering their lobbies are so close to each other. We don't mess with balcony rooms since we're never in the room much so I have no recommendation on locations for either resort but I usually choose based on which is less so if I'm you, going solo, I would pick Dolphin and save the money.Another Swan vs. Dolphin question here -- Please help!
I’m booking a resort view room w/balcony for 6 nights during the Food & Wine festival. Swan runs $35 more a night than Dolphin. I’ve stayed at the Dolphin a couple of times and loved it, but never the Swan.
Things that are most important most to me are:
- View from my balcony, love a water view. Also, having a little activity to watch helps me feel connected when I’m solo.
- Medium to low noise level from the balcony, but super quiet is not necessary. Love boat horns but not pool party music, lol.
- Nice room layout with good closet/storage space, good room condition
Things that matter a little, but not a lot:
- Walking distance to parks, shopping, and dining. Shorter is always better, but I’m fit so a few extra steps is not a big deal. Five minutes extra would be mildly annoying, though.
I’ll be solo, so things that don’t matter at all are:
- Bed size. Doubles are just fine with me.
- 2 sinks. Prefer the coffee station to a second sink.
- Room square footage
Most people here seem to give the edge to the Swan. But considering my priorities (don’t need the extra sink or queen beds), is it still worth an extra $35 a night, $210 total? Are my chances for a nice balcony view better at the Swan or Dolphin?
Suggestions for room location request are also welcomed!
Thanks!
