Jules’ Undersea Lodge - Key Largo, Florida
When guests visit Jules’ Undersea
Lodge in Key Largo, Florida, they discover that the name is
no marketing gimmick,
and it's not your a hotel, like
Embassy Suites Orlando, that
you may be accustomed to.
Just to enter the Lodge, one must
actually scuba dive 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea.
Jules’ really is underwater. Diving through the tropical
mangrove habitat of the Emerald Lagoon and approaching the
world’s only underwater hotel is quite an experience. Even
from the outside, Jules’ big 42 inch round windows cast a
warm invitation to come in and stay a while, relax and get
to know the underwater world that so few of us have even
visited.
Entering through an opening in the bottom of the habitat,
the feeling is much like discovering a secret underwater
clubhouse. The cottage sized building isn’t short on
creature comforts: hot showers, a well stocked kitchen
(complete with refrigerator and microwave), books, music,
and video movies. And of course there are cozy beds, where
guests snuggle up and watch the fish visit the windows of
their favorite underwater “terrarium”. Jules’ Undersea Lodge
manages to reach a perfect balance of relaxation and
adventure.
Guests sometimes describe their visit to inner space as the
most incredible experience of their lives. One couple
decided on a career change after visiting Jules’ Undersea
Lodge, and they now operate Aquanauts’ Dive Shop. Another
couple named their baby after Jules’, when they later
discovered their recently conceived child had accompanied
them in their wonderful adventure in undersea living.
