“The construction commenced in March [2011] and is 20 percent complete,” said Decameron Perú's business manager Marisol Chiroque.
She said the company plans to open the 133-room hotel on December 11 and build 167 additional rooms during the first half of 2012.
“The first stage of the project includes the main restaurant, two bars, an entertainment area, a convention center for 1000 people, a pool, a lobby and a kilometer-long beach,” she added.
The second stage will include the construction of two theme restaurants, two bars, a spa and tennis courts.
In February 2008, Blue Marlin Association, which comprises Decameron Hotels and Peru’s Nuevo Mundo, announced their plans to invest 65 million dollars in hotel projects in Punta Sal, Cusco and the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
Decameron Hotels operates 30 hotels and resorts in 11 countries in the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Africa.
