What is Paradise?

Paradise is different for everybody. For a golfer it’s making a 14’ left to right putt on a pristine finely manicured green.

To a busy family on vacation looking to build lifelong memories, it’s a fun filled highly orchestrated sand castle contest led by a world renown artist.

When the daily grind and cold weather beats down one’s sense of self, Paradise allows one to re-energize your soul with a Balinese Bamboo therapy massage followed by the warmth of a perfect sunset on the Gulf of Mexico.

For a Marriott Associate it’s returning to work to celebrate your 33 year anniversary at the same resort. Never tiring of seeing the smiles that you create from recognizing returning guests and reminding them of the time he proposed nervously on one knee on Marco’s unspoiled white sand beach.

This page is dedicated to telling the paradise story. The stories are about the activities, area attractions and most of all people that make Marco Island special.
