Well... I thank all the people that responded to my request, I finally
found the place and contacted them for more info. and all is set :-)
I'm receiving lots of mail though from other people interested in this
place, therefore I'm posting some of the things i found in the brochure:
The Hotel is called "Fantasuite Cantebury Hotel", and this is a list
of what they have to offer :
o Geisha Garden: The mystery of the Far East surrounds you in this
luxurious Oriental fantasy. Furniture in rich black
lacquer, elegant eastern art and a whirlpool in a
Japanese garden complete this fantasy from the land
of the rising sun.
o Pharaoh's Chambers: Explore the eminent majesty of ancient Egypt
from your own private pyramid with sacrophagus water-
bed. Bask in the large, tiled whirlpool fit for a King.
o Northern Lights: Take the chill out of any night in this cozy igloo
for two. The deluxe 10-sided waterbed comes complete
with AM/FM stereo. The large, tiled whirlpool surrounded
by mirrors, overlooks a serene, arctic landscape under
the warm glow of the northern Lights.
o Jungle Safari: Escape into a custom made bamboo jungle hut complete
with waterbed draped in mosquito netting. Enjoy the
sights of the wilderness from your private whirlpool
hidden deep in banks of jungle stream.
o Space Odyssey: Travel the galaxy inside a recreation of Gimini space
capsule! The 10-sided waterbed comes complete with AM/
FM stereo, TV, VCR and video games, all inside the cap-
sule. It even features a "moon crater" whirlpool.
o Sherwood Forest: Robin Hood and Maid Marion designed this forest
hideaway. The bed is actually nestled among the
branches of the trees! Enjoy your favorite show from a
TV mounted in the upper branches or unwind in a shimm-
ering whirlpool to soothe your cares away.
o Queen Anne: A king size waterbed with a canopy and a whirlpool by
mirrors and a unique sunken bath. Truly a unique suite,
all in the charm of merry old England.
o Arabian Nights: In this romantic fantasy, sleep in a Sheik's tent
with a 10-sided waterbed, overhead starlight mirror
and AM/FM stereo. Outside your tent, view the desert
oasis from the luxurious, tiled whirlpool spa.
o Caesear's Court: Behold Ancient Rome from the splendor of Caesar's
villa. A marble whirlpool surrounded by columns and
mirrors rests outside a secluded bedchamber with king
sized waterbed hung with silk drapes.
o Riverboat Gambler: Live the adventurous life of an 1890's paddlewheel
card shark in this suite from a bygone era. (Diamond
Jim would be envious!) :-) It features red velvet
decor with slot machines, expansive mirrors and a
whirlpool big as the Mississippi.
o Cinderella: Fairy Tales do come true! This plush, horsedrawn carriage
comes complete with modern amneties, including TV and VCR.
Or relax in the comfort of Cindrella's "glass slipper"
whirlpool.
o Cupid's Corner: Beware of Cupid's arrow! this romantic setting is
perfect for that special occasion. Heart-shaped water
bed, mirrored ceiling, stereo and cassette player are
complimented by lots of hearts. Every day is Valentine's
Day.
o Hawkeye Tailgate: This is an Iowa sports fan's dream come true! black
and gold are predominant colors. The downstairs is a
football stadium carpeted in astroturf while upstairs is
a basketball court where a customized bed awaits you.
This "hometown" favorite is dominated by a big screen TV
and features a truck tailgate upon which to enjoy your
pre-game meal.
o Henry VIII: A two-level suite fit for a king. It features a wet bar,
Big screen TV, wood burning fireplace and private poolside
balcony. Upstairs, a queen sized canopy bed and an oval
whirlpool await your pleasure. This suite is dominated by
Henry's favorite regal color... Purple!!.

Anyone who has tried the fantasy hotel in Iowa, or any of the others,
please post. Do you recommend it? How much does it cost? Is it well
worth it? They all seem to have a waterbed and a whirlpool... Is the
"fantasy" motiff really done well?
Thanks! Email or post.
