Aloha to Hawaii's New "Nature Man"!

Marriott Resorts Hawaii

"Nature Man" is finally here! Well, that is, he and 11 of his friends who won a grand vacation with Marriott's "Win a Hawaiian Trip for 12" social media contest! Joe Maziarski of New Jersey submitted "Nature Man," the winning YouTube video on why he loves Hawaii, and after rounds of voting by a panel of celebrity judges and the public, here he and his group are today! Here they are upon arrival at Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, ready for a wonderful time in paradise!

Joe and Mike

As you can see, Nature Man is very excited to be in the islands and was excited to celebrate!

The group had a great time at Paradise Cove Luau in Ko Olina. Nature Man started off their luau experience with a tribal yell.

They all joined in and learned how to "hukilau."

And got in a few hula moves! Shake those hula hips!

Local news station KITV's Catherine Cruz met with Joe and Nature Man. She also chatted with Brian Soma, director of sales and marketing for JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa about the contest and Marriott Resorts Hawaii's use of social media to market both Hawaii as a destination and our resorts.

We hope Joe, Nature Man, and their friends had a memorable and relaxing vacation, and return to Hawaii soon! A special mahalo to Paradise Cove Luau for their warm hospitality! 

The group pictures are really

The group pictures are really awesome and sound like spent a breathtaking holiday time. Without doubt Hawaii is a pleasant place that is occupied with wide variety of natural beauty and worthwhile resorts.

Best Regards,
