Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique occupies a cliffside position above the Gulf of Papagayo, the first Waldorf Astoria in Central America and set apart from its neighbouring Papagayo Peninsula resorts in its own private enclave.
Eight ocean-facing pools cascade down the multi-level pool deck, giving the property a distinct sense of scale for a Guanacaste resort. It earns its place for that combination of cliff-top setting and genuine privacy, without other resorts in sight.
Known for: beach, ecotourism, wellness.
Guanacaste is a sprawling coastal region in northwestern Costa Rica known for its pristine Pacific beaches, consistent surf breaks and lush dry tropical forests.
