Underwater Hotel
40 feet under the sea surrounded by nothing but fish and ocean lies The Poseidon Undersea Resort. Not your typical hotel setting right?
To get to the lost city of Atlantis-esque hotel, you will be taken under the ocean by an elevator. The rooms are encased in four thick inch crystal clear glass, but not to worry. If you want privacy, the rooms are covered in a type of film that makes it almost impossible to peek through in the night or day.
What’s great about these hotels is the ease they make with interacting with the marine life. With one push of a button on a control, you can feed the fish that swim by your room. Not only that but during the night there are lights you can turn on to attract the fish near the coral reefs below.
If you’re looking for adventure or romance The Poseidon offers a lot of fun for you and your special someone. For the romance, not only do they have underwater rooms and apartments, but available is also an underwater Chapel. How many people can say they got married under the ocean..other than the little mermaid?
Being on a “mystery island” there are many things you can do for adventure. This resort offers submarine piloting, deep sea reef excursions, scuba diving, sea treking, para sailing, ultralight flights, cave explorations, water sports, watching stars in an observatory, diving/walking tours above and below land, and many varieties of workshops. Not too shabby right?
Think that’s all? Not even close! This resort offers many amenities as well. If you’re bored with being underwater, you can have a choice of exploring the spa, checking out some dive shops, eating some fine dining, catching a movie at the theater, reading at their library, working out at a fitness center, and shopping at a great boutique. Pretty nice right?
The downer is of course the price. To experience all of this, you have to cough up $15,000 USD per person. That’s for 7 days and 6 nights (with the ability to enjoy their island villas in case you get tired of being under water)

I’ve always liked being around water, particularly the ocean, so I would enjoy this kind of thing. However, it is a little scary! Plus…with 15,000, you could probably go on a couple cruises with that kind of money! However, this would probably be an ideal “dream vacation.” It’s unique and offers a different perspective you can’t get many other places other than aquariums!
@makesenseofmadness - Haha right?! I don’t even know how I would react to waking up and seeing an ocean. I’d probably momentarily forget I was in a hotel and have a heart attack. I’d be paranoid about the glass breaking or there being a leak or something. I’m always like that when it comes to aquariums under water.
@nihaokeisha - Yeah, I’d probably be like…Am I dead? It would be an amazing view though. Even time I go into an aquarium with a view like that, I could stare at it for hours. However, if I stayed in a room like that, I would always think of one of the Jaws movies where they are in the aquarium and then Jaws comes and rams into the glass and breaks it, ahhh. Scary
You guys out there are performing a great job.
