Looks cool, worth $15000 per person for a week...I doubt it, but still a nice view.

if you click on The Resort, Undersea Suites and read through that..."Fish will glady interact when they are fed with the push of a button from your control consule..."

ugh, i can just imagine some unknowing rich guest with an itchy trigger finger.

seems like a nice idea...but i dunno...

Thinking the same thing.

This would make one hell of a trip though.

[sac-bobme]

I think its cool BUt

if its real why is there no real video of the damn thing?

[reefman13]

They have a virtual tour......

[Sarcophyton874]

Ya I would also like to see REAL photos and video of the place.

[PRINCE_NAMOR]

My biggest concerns would be earthquakes, and leaks..... Isnt Fiji in an earthquake zone?

lol yes it is...

[Fishfreak218]

you guys are not reading everything!!! They say on the website that there is only going to be a certain amount of food per day so as not to polute the reef. although i doubt it would cause much damage in the ocean.
also it isnt built yet!!!! they are still getting permits and clearing the island...
honeymoon? it'd be cool to be underwater lol

[drummereef]

Wow, I'll have to follow this. Very interesting.

There is a "underwater hotel" just an hour and a half south of me, in key largo. they are all very expensive but i'd sure love to go stay a night in one.

:eek1: AMAZING!!!! Well, this is where I'll ask my husband to take me on our 20th Anniversary. That will give us 7 years to save.

[Nano Chris]

Looks awesome, a trip for 2, $30k? I would build my dream tank for that.

Ryan What is the hotel called?

[Aaarrrggg]

Wowy wow! One day... one day...
Thanks for sharing Phillybean!

I just realised... it's kind of like a terririum for the fish to keep us in! :D

[pressthebutton]

whoa....i got chills watching that. what a vacation that wuold be, id never get to sleep wathing the reef all the tme.

[poppin_fresh]

As soon as they have a price drop to be competitive with Motel 6, I'm totally there! I dont really like the idea that the fish can watch me in the hot tub though... I'm kind of shy.

[Nicholas89]

For 30K (like i'd go alone?) I'd just build an increbible tank at my house. But thats still freakin awesome.

[melev]

I'd like to see how they can construct that without damaging the nearby reefs. :rolleyes:

The theory is awesome, very futuristic ala James Bond, but the reality is usually less than ideal.

Guys, there's no actual footage because the damn thing isn't even done yet! They are pretty clever about getting the marketing out before it's even done...never even saying anywhere on the website "COMING SOON"! The only way I know is I see they will start "booking guests in early 2009". So it wont even be done for another 2 years...
I bet the reef outside won't even look that good....
And I am sure the feeders will be state of the art, where you can only press the button so many times in a certain time period. I.E. only release a pre-programmed amount of food.

Because the room pods are assembled elsewear and sunk into place. Same with the unit that connects them all. Im sure there would be some damage as the anchor it all down but wouldnt be that much.

They do have some photos of the island resorts being built.
