Poseidon Undersea Resorts: This is my every nine-year-old dream come true.
Kind of like this, but cooler. And like this, but real. Via Boing Boing.Currently in the final design stages, Poseidon will be the world’s first sea floor resort complex. The resort will be a unique, intimate and exclusive, five-star destination providing the highest possible levels of luxury and service. Poseidon’s guests will experience a marvelous ambiance of comfort and camaraderie that will not soon be forgotten.
For those who have dreamt of visiting their imagination’s wildest destinations; traveling to the moon, reaching the summit of the most forbidden peaks or exploring the mysteries of the ocean depths, Poseidon will be a reality you will truly appreciate.
HYDROPOLIS: Yet another undersea hotel. [sigh] They're getting so commonplace these days. Hydropolis is structured in three elements: the land station, the connecting tunnel, and the submarine complex. The land station is the reception and welcome centre for the hotel's guests. The connecting tunnel is the lifeline of…
NOAA's AQUARIUS: I found this via this Boing Boing article about a surgery experiment they're trying tomorrow. Aquarius is an underwater ocean laboratory located in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The laboratory is deployed three and half miles offshore, at a depth of 60 feet, next to spectacular coral reefs.…
The Aquapolis: I'd be so much more impressed if the passage quoted here (from their "Overview" page) didn't contain five spelling and grammatical errors. "The Aquapolis will be the worlds first underwater resort. Built at a cost of $1.3 billion, Aquapolis will be unlike anything on earth. Using…
It's cool, but the name carries with it really nasty connotations. But only if you've seen the movie.
CNN will have a field day when it springs a leak.... The horror.. the horror!
What about Hydropolis, buolding has started and it should be finished in 2006 in Dubai. Poseidon say on their website that they have location under consideration.
Well Hydropolis will be ready by the end of December 2006. The crazy thing is they are only expecting that the room rate will be US$500 per night. it is so value for money.
The Poseidon predicts the room rate will be US$1,500 and Jules Lodge one more underwater hotel which already exist in Florida are selling their rooms at US$350 per night

ok ?
Yeah, Diferent rate different facilities provided
lets take from the expensive one that Poseidon which provide the extra room facilities that others do not have such as fishfeeder, jacuzzi to fit the moods and connection tunnel to the beach.
When we looked at Hydropolis, the marketing strategy method they used are trying to persuade and encourare consumers to use the others hotel facilities rather than the room facilities. We can see that also that they have the museum, open air stage, the research labotory which make the consumers come out to the room and explore it !! but exploring it, isnt it the consumers need to spend money ? therefore, room rate is low
Jules, different with the others it used to be a marine research centre mainly open for the consumers who really like diving and also the competition, if Jules put the price at US$500 so what do you think the others perception compare to Hydropolis ? In Jules, you just need to really dive down but the others such as poseidon and hydropolis you dont need to make yourself wet !!
Hydropolis has been cancelled. They anticipated building it for $450 per square foot at a $500 million total. Poseidon will cost $1800 per square foot which is a realistic price from people that build submarines for a living.
When they figured out Hydropolis was going to cost $2 billion, they abandoned the project. You can keep 22 UW rooms full at $1500, but not 220.
I WANT 2 GO DERE 1 DAI. HOPE IT WILLEH BE FUNZ
