Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique

The northern coast of Guanacaste is the best destination in Costa Rica for a luxury beach resort vacation, and the Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica delivers a chic new take on the beachfront hotel experience. The resort’s privileged location on Punta Cacique – only 40 minutes by car from the international airport in Liberia – allows guests to transition from travel-mode to vacation-mode in the blink of an eye. Overlooking the calm waters of secluded Playa Penca, water lovers can count on plenty of opportunities for stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, casual snorkeling, and more.

Dining at The Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica

In typical Waldorf Astoria fashion, the brand’s Costa Rica resort centers its epicurean experience on local culinary highlights. The hotel’s signature dining experience, La Finca, uses seasonal trends and regional specialties to inspire its ever-changing menus.

For breakfast and lunch, check out the hotel’s all-day Tico Tica restaurant or grab coffee and pastries at Buena Nota Cafe. For small plates and casual cocktails in a chic lounge setting, start your evening at Peacock Alley. Be sure to catch a sunset with a glass of champagne in hand from The Terrace – the perfect place to enjoy Costa Rica’s balmy nights, refreshing breezes, and ocean views.
