Stylish Puerto Vallarta hotel caters to gay couples and singles
Casa Cupula Gay Friendly aims for high style in the lushly landscaped Olas Atlas (or Zona Romantica) neighborhood. Within walking distance of the gay beach in Puerto Vallarta, the quaint property impresses with details, from art-filled suites to a romantic restaurant whose menu spans the globe. Due to its size -- just 15 rooms and six suites -- the property maintains just the right amount of intimacy for a romantic weekend. Guests can unwind with fresh margaritas by the pool, book spa treatments for couples or work out in the gym.Casa Cupula Gay Friendly Rooms
- Deluxe Queen Room
- The Deluxe Queen Rooms offer a more economical yet luxurious way to enjoy Casa Cupula. While a bit more cozy than our standard rooms, you can spread out and enjoy an incredible 180 degree view of Puerto Vallarta or of the Bay of Bandaras from shared covered terraces. This plus the view of the gardens, fountain and access to the gym has made the Deluxe Queen rooms favorites of many guests. Two Deluxe Queen rooms are located on the Owner's Villa property a few steps from the Casa, while the third is located on Villa Sevilla's second floor. Luxurious appointments and attention to detail make Casa Cupula's rooms special. From our fabulously comfortable Dream Beds to in-room stereos and minibars we offer every convenience. Thoughtful touches like hair dryers, huge soft towels and luxurious bath products will pamper you.
- Deluxe King Room
- Modern design, luxurious appointments and attention to detail make Casa Cupula's rooms special. From our fabulously comfortable Dream Beds to in-room stereos and minibars we offer every convenience. Thoughtful touches like hair dryers, huge soft towels and luxurious bath products will pamper you.
- Greenbelt Jr Suite
- A uniquely tropical experience awaits you in this suite which lies on the Greenbelt Terrace surrounding the Private Residences. The Suite has 800 sq ft. Designed by Architect Rene Ortiz in a modern Mexican style, this suite feels warm and comforting from the moment you enter. The loft-style bedroom with king-size bed is separated by huge sliding doors with onyx panels, so the whole space can be joined loft-style. The great room includes breakfast bar, living room, kitchenette with stainless steel appliances and granite counters, smooth ceramic cooktop, microwave and a frig. Enjoy a movie on the Home Theater system with 37" LCD Screen. Cocktails or a private dinner made ensuite, or simply enjoy the tropical breezes and ocean view. Plus a pullout full bed for sharing. The bathroom features a shower for two with inlaid stone and handcut onyx trim. A full custom-designed double sink and vanity plus WC are decked out in onyx trim.

terrific oasis
Super friendly staff, very casual but respectful. Some people warn about the walk - it's a VERY short walk to the beach, and nice to be away from the loud crowds. Tina, the concierge (manager?) is terrific and full of good advice. Strongly recommend, and we'll most likely go back. Restaurant is v good too.

Honeymoon in Mexico
We went to PV for our honeymoon. Our room was very large with a spacious covered, outdoor, veranda that overlooked Banderas Bay and the beautiful sunsets. The room had a surround sound system to play our ipods and the bathroom had a huge, mexican-tiled, sunken shower. The staff were ultra friendly and the restaurant on site "Taste" was one of the best meals we had in PV. Also, the on site gym was hands down the best I've ever had in a guest house or hotel. Every room is unique and very nicely decorated. The location affords amazing views from its mountainside location although the walk into the town center is down a steep hill and a two block walk along a curving highway without pedestrian sidewalks. Our air conditioning unit was a little noisy and had a tough time keeping up with the hot PV days in low season but we would not hesitate to spend our next PV vacation at Casa Cupula.

AWESOME gay hotel!
The staff is awesome as is this hotel. It's very unique and every room is different. The staff greets you at the taxi upon arrival, helps with any questions, complimentary drinks, food, etc. Beautiful views of Puerto Vallarta. The beach is a 10 minute walk. There was nothing we could have asked for more. Whether you are a group of gay friends or couple you will love the atmosphere. Also the place has DVD players in each room and excellent WIFI! Remember those 2 things!

The view of the Pacific was fantastic. The staff-go Tina and Oscar were amazing. Oliver was super helpful. The whole atmosphere of the hotel was conducive to a great time. The location was peaceful, but the fabulous attractions were within walking distance. 5 stars.

Paradise Found @ Casa Cupula
Casa Cupula is a class act. Everything about it exemplifies excellence. The staff, the rooms, the pools, restaurant and common areas, and the other guests. If you want to boat or zip line or go on an excursion, the concierge is awesome. We have stayed here multiple times and already booked our next visit before we left. It is like heaven on earth. The rooms and grounds are so nice you don't want to leave them. When you do leave, it is a very short walk to old town PV or the Blue Chairs area. Thank you to the whole Casa Cupula team for creating an oasis for us.

Don't let the name Daquiri Dick's turn you off. It is an excellent restaurant. Ask to sit outside, there is a lovely view.

Casa Cupula is absolutely the BEST! We were spoiled and did not want to leave. The property is fabulous, the view is stunning, the location is perfect -- but most of all, the staff and other guests were incredible. We felt like we were at home among friends. Will most definitely return to this little piece of Heaven on Earth!
