A Visit from Moana and Maui

Emma and her family are vacationing in Hawaii this week at the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club on the island of Oahu.

Emma had a surprise welcome to her room!

Somehow Marriott manager Randy Domingo and the Ko Olina Activities crew found out that Emma was coming to Ko Olina. Prior to her arrival they decked out her room in all kinds of Moana stickers, tattoos, and party decorations. There were candy leis and a couple of presents for Emma.

When Emma arrived Moana and Maui were there to give her a huge Ko Olina welcome!

Maui presented Emma with a necklace with the heart of Te Fiti (just a replica, folks!)

Emma was most impressed with the welcome while the Moana theme song played in the background. Mom and Dad were welcomed to the island with some beautiful orchid leis.

Emma got a great Moana swimsuit that was just her size…

Maui watched as Emma got into more presents…

Then it was time to thank everyone as all the attention began to sink it.

Time for one more quick shot with Moana, Emma, Mom and Maui…

And then it was time for everyone to go, as Emma puts it … BYE, BYE, BYE!

Then it was all over, but for one final welcome to Hawaii for Emma…

Many, many thanks again to Randy and his Ko Olina crew.

They’re just one more great example of what makes Marriott special!
