It will be a case of fish and kips at the Blue Reef Aquarium this week for one lucky visitor who will get to spend the night sleeping among the fishes.
The popular seafront attraction was picked out alongside The London Dungeon, the Eden Project and Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium as one of the places tourist most wished they could spend the night in.
In a survey carried out by online h
otel booking firm www.laterooms.com, customers were asked to name places they would most like to stay in.
Blue Reef ranked in the top ten and therefore one lucky voter will be given the chance to bed down among the coral this weekend.
The winner, who will be selected in a prize draw this week, will be given a guided tour of the attraction with the guest of his choice.
The pair will then be treated to a slap up meal for two served in the underwater tunnel - no doubt attracting envious glances from the sharks patrolling overhead.
After the meal there will be a private stingray and shark feed session before the guests retire for a night in their underwater bedroom set against the backdrop of a giant tank.
When they awake they will the be treated to a breakfast in full view of the nearby Hastings beach before being left to explore the Old Town at their leisure.
Jessica Reading of LateRooms.com, said: "To be able to offer the Blue Reef Aquarium as a hotel room is a fantastic opportunity.
"This really is a once in a lifetime opportunity, sleeping with the fishes and getting to experience the Blue Reef Aquarium in private."
Blue Reef Aquarium's Drew Cunliffe added: "Not many people can claim to have woken up to an array of beautiful fish and tropical sharks.
"We have an amazing variety of sea life at Blue Reef with our displays taking you on an undersea tour; from the British coastline to faraway tropical reefs and we are proud to be able to show them off in such a unique way.
"With everything from giant crabs to seahorses and stingrays we are sure our exclusive hotel guests will have plenty to keep them entertained."
