Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique
Playa Penca hotel near Liberia, Guanacaste
About
Set along Playa Penca in the Guanacaste province, this hotel is in the Punta Cacique area near Liberia and the Papagayo region. The address places it on Ruta Nacional 159, about a 3 km marker from the main road, which makes it a practical base for travelers moving between the coast and Liberia area. Guests choosing this property can expect a full-service hotel setting on the beach side of northwestern Costa Rica, with access to both coastal activities and regional road connections. For travelers planning time in Guanacaste, the location is useful for beach stays, day trips, and airport-linked itineraries. Playa Penca is part of a quiet coastal area compared with the larger resort zones nearby, while Liberia remains the nearest major city for services, shopping, and onward transport. For current room types, amenities, and booking details, the hotel website and phone line provide the most direct source of information.
Property Highlights
This property sits in a coastal stretch of Guanacaste that links Playa Penca with the Punta Cacique area and the Liberia road network. Its main advantage is location: close enough to Liberia for airport and city access, while still positioned for beach stays on the north Pacific coast. Travelers looking for a hotel base in this part of Costa Rica will find a large-brand, full-service setting rather than a small local inn.
