Overall we were thrilled to stay at Casa Cupula The entire staff was friendly and helpful. We had a suite which was clean and very spacious with a great view. Lots of room amenities. The pool parties were incredibly enjoyable. Breakfast was tasty although service was slow (45 min to get breakfast served). Location is on a steep hill and not safe to walk as there is no sidewalk so plan on taking Ubers. Great value since we got a special seasonal discount. Highly recommended.

I've stayed here twice and it's definitely my go to spot when visiting PV. The staff are incredible. They're friendly and super helpful. The rooms are quite nice, and I love the location. It really feels like you're up in the jungle (just barely) with tropical birds as an alarm clock. The pool area has incredible views, and if you stay for a few days you'll find plenty of quiet time mixed in with their busy pool parties. The minibar was also thoughtfully stocked with plenty of normal options plus gatorade if you wake up feeling it from a late night out. Walking down to the pier is short but steep, less than 10mins. There's a pharmacy and Oxxo nearby as well. Best to uber back at night, but it works out to like $3 US from zona romantica. I did have a minor maintenance issue and they were on it in under 5 mins. The service is what sets Casa Cupula apart. Well, that and the infamous pool parties of course.

I can't say enough nice things about Casa Cupula. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The property beautiful and well maintained and the rooms very comfortable and unique. The hotel is a few blocks from the Zona Romantica but its a little bit of a challenge to reach. Several steep blocks above rhe Zona.

Stayed at Cupula For 10 days and the facility was nice, clean and seemingly well maintained. The rooms were large and a decent selection whether you want it to be in the middle of the action or somewhat away from the noise. However, they fell short on service on several different aspects. The pool was closed twice for a full day once was for an employee party once was for decorating for a paid event. In my opinion both could’ve been done in other ways not to inconvenience the paying guests. To make things easier for me I use them to schedule my transfers, which came at a premium. Details were lost and not followed up on. My opinion seek out transfers or rides in other ways. The facility is located somewhat away from the city center and the ocean up on a hill. Geographically it’s not far however it is quite a walk including many stairs.Not really conducive for less mobile people or people who don’t want to walk for whatever reason. When asking for them for a bit of personal service, it seems the standard answer is no although they referred to themselves as a boutique Hotel. They call themselves clothing optional however I would consider “clothing optional light” as the resort is not fully clothing optional. It is very limited on where you can be nude And events can be held with mixed genders where Which caused nudity to be restricted outside the immediate pool area. Other than the main pool area, there are signs posted everywhere that bathing suits are required. Most of the action is from locals or other people from other hotels coming in. Which leads me to believe that most rooms are left of vacant. Which just restricts the social aspect for most of the time that you’re there. The gym was small it adequate for most needs. It just has the basics which was OK for a short period of time. They have three pools one large two very small As well as one Jacuzzi. Only the large one is heated So the infinity pool on the roof can be a little chilly at night restricting the use when you think you would use it most. Did you have food on site which was adequate nothing stellar. Food potions were fine. Expanded options would be nice since you are somewhat remote.

Just retuned from my second visit to Puerto Vallarta this year and always stay at Casa Cupula…a stunning oasis away from the maddening crowds. The hotel is located on a mountainside with stunning views and a short walk to the beach and/or nightlife. Their Vista King room is awesome and fully stocked with food and drinks. The king bed was outstanding and I slept very soundly every night. There was no loud music or traffic to impede sleep. View of the mountains was incredibly peaceful and you have a very large balcony to enjoy it. Restaurant offers a varied menu with a beautiful outdoor balcony overlooking a lush mountainside. Pool area was relaxing with bar drinks and food served daily. Many pool events available for entertainment should one be so inclined. Overall, a truly wonderful experience with an outstanding staff that caters to all your needs. Shuttle car also available for short hops at no expense…though tipping is appreciated. Will be back again in another six months.
