KEY LARGO, FL, USA--Jules Undersea Lodge in Key Largo is a one-of-a-kind hotel. It is completely underwater! It sits on legs at the bottom of a 30-foot-deep lagoon, completely underwater. To check in, you have to scuba dive and enter through a hole under the hotel. This hole leads to a "wet" room where you take off your wet clothes and dry off.
The underwater hotel is comfortable. There are books, videos, hot showers and also phones so you can keep in touch with people on land. Each of the two bedrooms has a big window where you can watch hundreds of fish go by. When you wake up, you may see an angelfish or parrotfish watching you. "It's a moment you'll never forget," says Ian Koblick, an underwater scientist. For special occasions, the hotel gives you the red-carpet treatment. A chef can scuba dives to the hotel and cook a special meal for you. A birthday cake or flowers can also be delivered.
A control room on land monitors the hotel at all times. It pumps fresh air into the hotel and keeps water out. You can explore the ocean attached to a long line, which provides a limitless air supply. But if diving is not your cup of tea, you can relax inside the hotel.
Yes, you'll pay through the nose for a night at Jules' Lodge ($325 per person) but you'll have a ball. "To live beneath the sea was once just a science fiction fantasy. Now it is a reality," says owner Dr. Neil Monney.
