Marriott to Build New Hotel in Nicaragua

Marriott Hotels is planning to build a new lodging facility in the Nicaraguan Pacific coast. The 250-room establishment with an in-house casino will take an initial investment of $50 million. Sources close to the project told Caribbean News Digital that $5 million have already been poured into the new resort, most of it for groundbreaking works. The new colonial-style hotel will be located in the municipality of Villa El Carmen, some 22 miles northwest of Managua.
