Hilton’s luxury portfolio in the Caribbean and Latin America has expanded with the debut of the Costa Rica Punta Cacique.

Perched cliffside and situated along the shores of Playa Penca on Punta Cacique, the 148-room, 40-suite resort offers views of Costa Rica’s stunning Northern Pacific Coast.

Along with its elegant service and curated local programming and adventure offerings, the resort says it “invites travelers to immerse themselves in the essence of Costa Rica and embrace the allure of the ‘Pura Vida’ lifestyle.”

Guests will have access to six unique and regionally inspired dining experiences, world-class amenities to include a multi-level pool, a dedicated kids and teens club, an expansive fitness center and spa, wellness rituals and activities, and versatile meeting and event space. A secluded stretch of beach along miles of oceanfront is just steps away.

"We are thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique, a significant addition to our presence in the region. This property marks the debut of the brand in Costa Rica and offers guests an unparalleled level of luxury and our signature Waldorf Astoria hospitality,” said Danny Hughes, president, Americas, Hilton. “We look forward to welcoming travelers from around the world to discover Costa Rica’s rich heritage, vibrant culture, and natural beauty.”

Dino Michael, senior vice president and global head, Hilton Luxury Brands added, “The opening of Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique marks the premiere of the brand in yet another world-class destination. From the many considerations in its architecture and design, to curated guest experience and food and beverage, this property is embodying the next era of the Waldorf Astoria brand and our considered growth this year and beyond.”

To celebrate the opening of the resort, for a limited time through May 31, 2025, guests staying three nights or more will receive 20 percent off their stay along with a $500 resort credit or $1000 credit for a suite stay.
