Mahalo to all of our Dallas friends for joining us! And thanks to the Tim Sullivan, Miriam Lucas and the associates at the beautiful Renaissance Dallas Hotel for their hospitality and for hosting our tour team!
One of the Marriott's favorite occasions is the chance to share the pleasures of Maui luxury hotels with the main land locals. Their team recently paid a visit to the Renaissance Dallas Hotel to show them a slice of life at an ocean resort hotel Waikiki. The team hosted a reception complete with island themes and island cocktails. The Polynesian Cultural Center even performed for the guests, teaching the steps to the hula. It was a great opportunity to share the pleasures of an Oahu hotel as well as demonstrate appreciation for customer loyalty to hotels Big island Hawaii offers a life that is not easily matched. Bask in beauty, experience culture and enjoy the world's most pleasurable climate at your next stay at an ocean resort hotel Waikiki.
