Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique

Hilton (Waldorf Astoria) · Oceanfront resort · Punta Cacique, Playa Penca, Guanacaste (Pacific coast)

The first Waldorf Astoria in Costa Rica and Central America, opened in April 2025 on the headland of Punta Cacique overlooking Playa Penca. The 188-key resort pairs 148 rooms with 40 suites, all with ocean or tropical-forest views, alongside six regionally inspired restaurants, a multi-level pool, dedicated kids' and teens' clubs and a 17,000-square-foot spa and fitness center. Dining runs from the all-day Tico-Tica to the brand's signature Peacock Alley bar. It sits about 25 minutes from Liberia's airport.

Why we recommend it

A polished, family-capable grand-hotel alternative to the peninsula resorts, bringing Waldorf Astoria's service culture to the Pacific coast with one of the largest spas in the region.
