Located in the village of Moin in the Limon Province at the entry to the Tortuguero Canals, the new facility will be dubbed Casino City Caribe. The project is being led by Vancouver architect Patti Rao through his firm Patti Rao Project.
The complex will comprise three hotels with a total of 264 rooms, 219 apartments, two convention and cultural centers, a marina and helipad, a wellness center and spa, a business center, an entertainment center and three casinos.
It’s expected that the construction will create some 150 jobs through construction and as many as 1,500 once the whole resort is up and running. Construction is expected to take place in three phases, with the final one scheduled to wrap up in 2027.
Rao told the local press that Moin was selected because it was seen as an area with untapped tourism potential, particularly within the ecotourism segment. This lines up, of course, with the inclusion of casinos that will be looking to attract poker and gaming enthusiasts.
Rao already has the title deed from the construction zones to the inalienable area of the coast that connects Tortuguero with the Caribbean Sea. The mega construction, which includes seven real estate projects, will be designed for visitors from different countries to approach at any time of the year.
