Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique
Perched on Cacique, the cliffside peninsula overlooking Guanacaste’s secluded Playa Penca, the Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique is designed to offer privacy and expansive views. In addition to 148 guestrooms and 40 suites, the resort—slated for a spring launch—will also boast six dining outlets and a spa, which takes inspiration from the indigenous Chorotega culture.
