Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique

One of our new favorite Waldorf Astoria properties! Absolutely stunning location surrounded my nature and ocean views. Rooms are spacious with beautiful views and typical Waldorf Astoria amenities. Our concierge Carlos and the concierge manager Lorena took extremely good care of us throughout our stay and made us feel very welcome celebrating a birthday vacation. The resort is very safe and walkable and bellmen are always available to provide rides by golf cart. We appreciated the help of Vernon and Esau! Our favorite part of the resort was the many mostly complimentary activities available every day on the resort such as kayaking, snorkeling, yoga. You can have a wonderful vacation just staying on the resort. The SPA was beautiful as well and we enjoyed relaxation massages on several days. Charlotte and Yandra took amazing care of us guiding us through the SPA amenities and experience and Kleidi was a wonderful massage therapist. The fitness center was extremely well equipped with all high end Techogym equipment and open 24 hours which we always appreciate. Compared to many other international Waldorf Astoria and other luxury resort properties we were very impressed by the continental breakfast selection with lots of options and amazing selection of fruits! Karla took wonderful care of us every morning and remembered our preferences. We hope to visit this property again soon!

The attentiveness of the staff was amazing from the minute we arrived until the minute we left. We felt that everyone truly enjoyed their job and wanted to please their guests. We were graciously upgraded to an ocean view with a plunge pool. We can’t recommend this room type enough! It was nice and private and we loved the pool in the morning while it was sunny and warm. The property is spectacular and the grounds and pools are pristine with plenty of day beds and lounging options. Be prepared for lots of stairs though! Food was delicious and service was impeccable. We really loved breakfast which is free for Hilton Diamond(maybe gold too). So much food including fresh juices, coconut water and Mimosas! I also recommend the chicken and waffle sandwich from Tico Tica…not sure what kind of sweet and spicy magic that was but I wish I knew how to replicate at home! The rooms have high tech lighting options including motion detector night lights. We do wish there were more hooks to hang robes or wet suits. Lastly, don’t miss out on the afternoon service in which they bring 2 beers or sodas and yummy tortilla chips/hummus.They usually brought it around 4:30pm. We highly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to return!

The hotel definitely lives up to its 5-star reputation when it comes to cleanliness, comfort, and service — everything felt polished and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the rooms were spotless with great amenities. That said, one night the food was a bit disappointing — not bad, but definitely below the standard you’d expect from a 5-star stay. Also, the overall atmosphere was extremely quiet. If you’re looking for a lively or social vibe, this might feel a little too calm or even boring at times. Perfect for anyone who wants peace and relaxation, but maybe not ideal if you’re hoping for energy, entertainment, or a memorable dining experience every night. The staff was great from the front desk to house cleaning with the amazing turn down service. The views from the room were amazing and property was clean.

The food at La Finca was very good, I definitely recommend going. As a hotel, the Ritz is more beautiful and impressive, although the Waldorf is also nice and it just opened a few months ago. If you prefer something more surrounded by nature, I think the Ritz Necajui is the best option.

It was an amazing experience, I went with friends and the service provided was amazing. The rooms, bathrooms, and social places were clean and beautiful. It has direct access to the beach and the view is amazing
