Fodor's Expert Review Casa Cúpula

This popular, up-to-date boutique hotel is located a 10-minute walk from the beach and the Zona Romántica, catering largely to a gay and lesbian clientele. Most guest rooms have terraces with wonderful views of the sea and the surrounding neighborhood. Suites have kitchenettes, washer-dryers, separate living and sleeping quarters, and a home-theater system. All the rooms are classy, restrained, and individually decorated. The airy, shared dining room–lounge is comfortable and welcoming; the rooftop terrace with infinity dipping pool is lovely. The property is open year-round, but repairs and maintenance take place in August and September and can get noisy.
