Hilton Waikaloa on the Big Island. I'd recommend staying at another property and going over for the dolphin interaction (called Dolphin Qwest). FYI- I was not all that impressed but that is MHO.

The Big Island. Next to the Mauna Lea Resort (don't know the name) Swimming with the Dolphins is by lottery there, by the way..

A number of hotels offer this throughout Hawaii and Florida. I am surprised that this was endorsed by the Discovery Channel.

Another option is the sea life park on Oahu. Need to reserve a spot early they fill up. I think the Kahala Manderin on Oahu has dolphins as well.

Also seen on Playboy TV: Juli Ashton and others getting rides. Probably the same hotels...

Any one of the fine La Quinta's. They are also near Denny's. You can get a tuna sandwich.

Atlantis in Nassau. Discovery Cove in Orlando is not a hotel but has a dolphin swim program that has been described as the best of a bad idea. I did go there and it was awesome. You must have a reservation.
