Welcome to the Waldorf Astoria in Costa Rica

The Waldorf brand is synonymous with a high-end experience for a reason.

Cliffside Views & Secluded Luxury at the Waldorf

The Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique is a premium resort perched on a dramatic cliffside in the Guanacaste region, offering spectacular views of the beach, ocean, and the surrounding tropical forest. Located just 17 miles from Guanacaste International Airport in Liberia, the property provides a secluded luxury experience while maintaining accessibility to the region's attractions.

The resort features rooms and suites designed by acclaimed architectural firm Sordo Madaleno. All accommodations offer floor-to-ceiling windows that invite natural light and showcase the stunning surroundings. Rooms include high-end perks such as private balconies/terraces, soaking tubs, or private plunge pools. The interior design incorporates natural tones and organic elements that create a serene atmosphere reflecting the resort's location.

Explore Fine Dining and Wellness Treatments

Dining options include six distinct venues, each with its own concept. La Finca, the signature restaurant, offers a menu blending Costa Rican tradition with contemporary techniques, featuring locally caught seafood and grass-fed beef prepared using time-honored methods. Tico-Tica serves an all-day menu that highlights premium grilled meats and seafood.

Additional options include Peacock Alley Bar for craft cocktails, Buena Nota Bakery & Coffee Shop for fresh pastries and local coffee, Vida Pool & Grill for casual dining, and the Copo y Cono Ice Cream Shop for artisanal desserts.

The Waldorf Astoria Spa offers a comprehensive wellness program with treatments inspired by Costa Rica's biodiversity. Facilities include specialized therapy rooms, relaxation lounges, a sauna, steam bath, and whirlpool. The fitness center features advanced equipment, a movement studio, an outdoor yoga area, and a dedicated fitness pool.

The resort offers direct access to the secluded Playa Penca with amenities provided for a beach getaway. Kids and teens can enjoy supervised clubs with age-appropriate activities. The concierge can arrange local adventures including visits to national parks, jungle excursions, volcano tours, and water sports.

The property includes over 10,000 square feet of event space with advanced audiovisual equipment and catering services. Accessible amenities are available throughout the resort, and the property is pet-friendly with some specific policies in place.
