Today, a lot of people are also gathering here to see sea turtles and dolphins. Besides, a lot of materials used to build the hotel were recycled stuff. This hotel has thirty one rooms. It costs US$ 180 per night to stay. Ice Hotel The rooms here are named after colors, so you can expect it to sound like a rainbow when you hear the staff talking about their rooms.
