The Dolphin and Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach in Hawaii

My dream has always been to go to Hawaii spend my honeymoon and swim with the dolphins there. I have finally had the opportunity to have all my dreams come true in the beginning of May to get married and surprise my new wife to be that we were going to Oahu, Hawaii for our honeymoon. She was really excited too but she had concerns about the hotel we would stay at. Would it be nice enough? Could we afford it? So it my job to find a hotel we both could be comfortable with.

So the internet search went on and I found the Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach, which has art from famous artist Wyland. Since I was a big fan of Wyland, the Marine Artist, I investigated more and it meet all our qualifications, beautiful property and the right budget for us. So I would like to introduce this property to all the reader of Dolphin World and hopefully it will be the right place for you especially if you plan to participate in one of our swimming with dolphins in hawaii on the North Shore or Wild Dolphin Encounter on the Western Shore. Both are only 30 – 40 minutes away from the Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach. Here is a press release that I was given so it should help you understand more about the property.

“We have brought the ocean to the hotel through the art,” the artist Wyland said. With a collection of more than $4 million of Wyland artwork featured on property, it also has the feel of a modern art gallery. Guests will find magnificent original Wyland art consisting of bronze sculptures, murals, and original brush art. “It feels peaceful yet you can still feel the energy of the city,” Wyland said. “As soon as you walk in the hotel, it is very welcoming and comforting. It is contemporary, yet still has a good vibe.”

I would agree with Wyland myself. My wife and I had an amazing time there, enjoyed the comfortable bed, lounging in our 1 bedroom suite, breakfast on the balcony, working out in the gym, swimming in the pool, sitting in the sauna, eating at delicious Italian restaurant, and so much more. The staff was so friendly and it made the trip really great. I hope you all get a chance to stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach if you go to Oahu, Hawaii.
