Heres another. Opening November 15. Costs a bloody fortune, though a portion of the dates are sold out already .

Glass floor seems unique.

I actually don't understand why it took so long for it to pop up in other areas outside MLE/BOB. It's not like the OWB is patented...

Ground in Caribbean isn't suited for it.

Because of storms?

A bunch of aspects are necessary. Shallow calm water, certain makeup of earth materials.......
It's only a matter of time until they make it realistic in other locations like Hawaii.

Oh haha. They may be overwater but I wouldn't dip more than a toe in it. Also, if you're not a DVC member good luck booking, never mind how expensive it is if you are able to book.
I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

the OWB suites are way too close and not private. Anyone swims by any day at any time. And what keeps anyone from scuba diving under your personal bedroom's glass floor at night?

like I said

What "experience"?
The seclusion? Yes
The luxury? Yes
The beauty? Yes
The OW bungalow? Nothing really except some cheap knockoffs unless you want to head to Bermuda

I opened this thread just to see what kind of mangled grammar was being used in the subject. I actually tried to guess for a minute before opening it.

It could be helped just by adding some punctuation such as:

Crazy, On-Water Hotels

or even

Crazy! On-Water Hotels!
I'm a bit late to this party, but I would go with "Crazy-on-water hotels!"
