Did Mark Twain visit Nicaragua other than the 1866 trip?

I visited San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua last month and the Victoria hotel there has a "Mark Twain's
Suite." They do not explicitly say he stayed there on their website but it is implied and someone
there told me he did. There are also traveler websites that claim he stayed there but no scholarly sources.  However, two sources say the hotel was build in 1900 or 1902. I think he made a later
trip from New York to San Franciso but took the Panama route. But was there another trip?
Perhaps on the way back to NY? The detail is needed for a story.
