Not the first

Key Largo has an underwater hotel. It's called Jules Verne's Lodge. It's incredibly expensive. You have to have much too much money to even consider staying there.

I checked it out a couple years ago, but couldn't dive it because someone was still there from an overnight stay.

It is in a scummy looking lagoon (oops, I mean mangrove habitat) about a 1/4 mile south of the bay-to-ocean cut in Key Largo.

That hotel is the Burg Al Arab. Also very expensive.

I can't be sure, but I think there's an underwater restaurant (requires a short submarine ride) somewhere in that area, too.
