    "The hotel will have its own restaurant, a bar and 20 large suites with transparent acrylic walls facing coral gardens that can be lit up at night. "

    Sounds like a cool place to stay, but wouldn't lighting up a reef like this mess up the ecosystem? Seems like most living things depend on X hours being dark and X hours being light...

    Not too bad as the night critters would simply stay outside the halo, but on the other hand the lit rooms at night would give a sight seeing night dive a whole new meaning!
