Virginia is for Lovers Package at The Oceanfront Inn
Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Virginia is for Lovers slogan with this special package at the Oceanfront Inn. Includes a gourmet basket with wine glasses, a bottle of Williamsburg Winery Acte 12 Chardonnay, and gourmet chocolates by Schakolad Factory. Minimum 2 night stay. Prices: $139.00 - $419.00 plus tax per couple. Call 888-826-2326 for details.
At certain Marriotts, you can book an Escape Family Time Package which also lets kids 12 and under eat free with a paying adult, plus throws in a free in-room pizza party. However, availability varies significantly by date and location.
For example, randomly plugging in the weekend dates of May 29-31, I was able to get the deal at five Marriott properties in the Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads area. But when I put in the mid-week dates of June 2-4, there were no Marriott properties offering the rate. So plug in your dates using the link below and see if it's available on your travel dates. Be sure to use the corporate-promotional code MAJ.
