US$292,000 or RM1.2 million is no doubt a huge amount of money. You can use it to fund your kids' college education, buy a new condo or even purchase a brand new luxury car. But this is also the same amount of money that's going to cost you for a night at Lover's Deep in St. Lucia. It is a one-of-the-kind hotel set in a luxury submarine (yes, you read that right) that goes underwater at a certain depth. Which means you get to witness the aquatic life from the comfort of safe and airtight windows. Every part of the submarine hotel is as luxurious as it gets. Those who book the honeymoon package can look forward to the specially-created aphrodisiac menu, with the likes of Russian caviar and chocolate fondant.
