What the new Waldorf will look like.

Waldorf Astoria is opening its second resort in the Caribbean Basin next year, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

Following the Waldorf Astoria Cancun, which first opened its doors back in 2022, the brand is set to debut a new resort in Costa Rica. 

The beachfront property, set on Playa Pena, will have 148 rooms, 40 suites and six different dining concepts. 

The property, called Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique, is opening in “spring 2025,” according to Hilton. 

Other amenities will include several different pools, a fitness center, a yoga deck and what Hilton calls a “thoughtfully curated wellness program that includes mindfulness practices, fitness routines, holistic therapies and native rituals.”

According to our research, the hotel is accepting bookings for stays beginning May 1. 

So what will the resort cost? 

An ocean-view king room will cost you about $1,526 per night. A corner room with an outdoor soaking tub is priced at about $1,547 per night, according to Hilton’s web site.
