4BR Villa in Puerto Vallarta

Silvia

Excellent, 2 months ago

Host sent a detailed email with great information prior to our stay. Attentive to our flight arrival for a flexible check in, earlier than the 4:00 pm listed. Some one helped us check in and walked us through the property to tell us how to work amenities. Readily responsive through messaging! Would stay here again!

Host Response

Muchas Gracias, Silvia. The staff realizes the importance of in-person hospitality and your review highlights the appreciation of those efforts. Have a great summer!

We’ve stayed at Daniel’s place before, and choosing to book it again says everything. The home is exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Daniel is a fantastic host who communicates well and makes the entire stay smooth and stress-free. We had another great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again the next time we’re in Puerto Vallarta. Highly recommend!

Host Response

Thank you, Alejandro, for staying with us again - our first repeat guest! You and your friends are great, and I hope I'm not pushing my luck to say I hope we see each other again one day. Have a great summer.

We were very excited for our stay and the amenities, however, there was an unfortunate issue in the neighborhood that caused the electricity to go out. We were without power for 2 days. While we understood it was something out of their control there was definitely things that could have been done to ensure we were okay during that time. Aside from saying they had reported it and there was nothing else they could do about it, they did NOTHING. They could have offered some candles/flashlights, a cooler for all of our food that was going bad in the fridge. There is a full team with access to the property, but no one could be bothered to check on us. We weren’t expecting them to restore the power since we know it was out of their control, but some care for us in this situation would have gone a long way. We were abandoned and disregarded during a very difficult time. It was hot and unbearable, we were forced to use our phone for flashlights with no way to charge them. Terrible experience.

Host Response

Though infrequent, Vallarta does experience power outages, but they typically last only a few hours and waiting them out is sadly the only remedy. This outage, however was unprecedented. Neighbors and business owners were so outraged that they organized a protest against the electric company responsible, and on June 3 that company began replacing overloaded transformers and rewiring all affected areas. Are there concessions we should have offered during the blackout, absolutely, would we if asked, of course. We apologize for any inconvenience during your stay, and truly regret not insisting you take advantage of AirBnB's emergency support center for more immediate solutions. We will consider this experience a template for execution in the now unlikely event that something like this ever happens again.

Great apartment. Daniel is a very attentive host, and the whole process was hassle-free. I recommend it to everyone in the Airbnb community.

Host Response

Thanks Larissa, It was our pleasure hosting you.

Overall, I would give this Airbnb a five-star rating. First of all, the home itself is absolutely beautiful. The architectural design is stunning, and I loved the decor and color palette. The rooftop was definitely a highlight, offering incredible views of the jungle, beach, ocean, and city. It was truly phenomenal. My group and I (there were eight of us) had an amazing stay. The home was very spacious and perfect for a group like ours. We’re in our 20s and 30s, so we were able to handle the steep hill leading to the property, but that may be something to keep in mind for others. The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Communication was excellent throughout our stay. They were especially helpful when some of our friends arrived earlier than expected. They kindly let them in and made sure they had access even while I was out, which we really appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend this place. It’s quiet, beautiful, and in a great neighborhood. The local dogs and cats!

Host Response

Thanks for the five-star review, Ivette. You highlighted all of the elements and amenities that we put effort into providing for our guests, and we are pleased that you appreciated those efforts. The local dogs and cats gave your group a five-star rating as well.

We had a lovely time staying here. The house was beautiful and the views from the rooftop even better. Super close to downtown. That hill will get you tho. Would definitely stay again.

Host Response

Thanks so much, Symone. We realize you had many options for accommodation while visiting Puerto Vallarta, and we are glad you chose to stay at Casa Cavernicola. The team, the house, and yes, that hill, will be here to welcome you back if you head down this way again.

Loved staying at Casa Cavernicola. We spent so much time on the rooftop enjoying the views of the city and Zona Romantica. Everything was spacious, air-conditioned, and charming. That hill is no joke, though! We definitely got our cardio but it was worth it for the views!

Host Response

Much appreciated, Justin. The team and I are pleased that you all enjoyed your stay and we look forward to the opportunity to host you again.

Amazing place and the hosts couldn’t have been any better! The place is in a great location (yes up a hill but it’s totally manageable and can easily get Ubers up). I can’t say more about how great and attentive the hosts were!

Host Response

Gracias tocayo. You got to Casa Cavernicola in a roundabout kind of way, but you got there, and it sounds like you enjoyed your stay, and that's the most important thing. Thanks for staying with us and thanks for the kind review.

Casa Cavernicola is a gem. We really put the house through it's paces as we spent more time there than originally planned due to some unexpected events. The facilities are great, the view is spectacular, and the apartment manager was very responsive even when plans had to change. Worth saying, this is Mexico, and it's a real Mexican neighborhood. Yes, there are chickens crowing and dogs barking. The hill is a doozy. There are also friendly smiling faces in the street daily, dogs that like a good head scratch, and billion dollar views at the top of that hill. Don't come here expecting the Ritz, but if you want better than Ritz views, a family neighborhood, and a great location at a fair price, I'd recommend Cavernicola to you.

Host Response

Well Grant, to say you had an unforgettable vacation is an understatement. Thanks for understanding the challenges that some developing countries occasionally face, and for recognizing the beauty of the local working class way of life.

Stayed at this property for a few nights with friends. Overall, it was good value and the host is responsive and has a team of co-hosts who you interact with at one point or another. The location is walkable but the slope up to the house is extremely steep and cars even struggle getting up. The grocery shopping service is convenient, but wish digital payment instead of cash was accepted!

Host Response

It was our pleasure to host you, Rey. Thanks for pointing out the payment for services inconvenience. It has since been remedied for future guests.

Overall while a little off the beaten path, very affordable, with good views of the city. This is a high value location. The host was very responsive to our requests, including doing a grocery run for us on a holiday (at a rate more affordable than what can be found on Uber Eats). They also were willing to allow us to drop off luggage pre-check in. The rooftop grill was a nice touch too. There were some noisy animals nearby but we were provided earplugs and a white noise machine. Other opportunity for improvement would be turning the keypad locks so digital pins can be used.

Host Response

We made the switch to key entry for all locks a couple years ago. The jungle is not kind to all things battery-operated. But thanks for staying with us!

The hosts were amazing. Very helpful and checked in on us, especially going. Into the holiday when many stores might be closed. The location and view were nice. Close enough to walk but not in the middle of everything. We really enjoyed the time and space enough for all 8 of our family that travelled to this holiday trip. Thank you Moises for all your help!

Host Response

I'm glad you and your family enjoyed a Feliz Navidad, and happy to hear that my team of Christmas elves made the season bright. Happy New Year John.

Our group loved Daniel’s place. Very easy to communicate with and responsive. Beautiful view and relaxing spaces. Well appointed with all the amenities we needed. It is a steep hill but small price to pay for the view. We would love to stay next time.

Host Response

You made my day with your review, Dave, muy amable. We sincerely hope to see you and your group whenever you head this way again. It was our pleasure hosting you.

The house is great lots of amenities the washer and dryer was awesome to have. The location is great lots of restaurants nearby. My only complaint is that I had no idea the house was on top of a very steep climb. Walking up was tough especially if you have any physical problems. It’s good exercise, but I did have house mates that struggled to walk up. We uber mostly even the cars struggled.

Host Response

It does state that the house is " in the steep hills of the Alta Vista neighborhood" in the property description, but I suppose the reality of that doesn't fully set in until you are there in person. We appreciate your honest and detailed review.

This home is very spacious and comfortable, easily fitting up to 8 people. The beds are cozy and the bathroom and living rooms are luxurious, not to mention a spectacular view from the rooftop. The location is amazing, located about 10-15 minutes from the beach and Zona Romántica. The hosts are also very flexible and kind, and showed us around the entire home when we got there. Be prepared to trek up a steep hill on your way back. The only major issues we found with this place were the 2nd floor shower not working very well and the neighbor's dogs (across from the home) being very aggressive-- several times as we left or entered the AirBNB a dog would come very close to us and barking-- not a huge deal for us but something to be wary of.

We had an excellent stay at this beautiful home in Puerto Vallarta. The property was perfect for our group and equipped with all the amenities we needed. The location is stunning and convenient for exploring the area. Our co-host, Moises, was helpful and responsive, making the experience smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Host Response

Thanks so much for your kind review. On behalf of Moises and the rest of the staff, we enjoyed hosting you and your group and hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer.

I have stayed at many places in Vallarta, and this one was one of my favorites. From check in- check out it was so easy. As other reviews mentioned it’s a steep walk up the hill but a very cheap cab ride up. Walking down was a breeze! The house had everything you’d need to have a fabulous stay. I hope to stay here again in the future!

Host Response

Thanks for taking the time to review Casa Cavernicola. We're so happy you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to the opportunity to host you again the next time you visit beautiful Puerto Vallarta.

Excellent, 1 year ago

The house and the view are 5 Star. The host was very responsive, very welcoming, and accommodating. The only drawbacks are the steep hill getting up to the place and most notably the roosters & possibly the most annoying neighborhood dogs of all time barking non-stop everyday at 530 am… trust me- it will wake you up… bring ear plugs. Otherwise - this place is incredible. Had a great time.

Host Response

Thanks for submitting your review, and we are pleased to hear your stay was mostly enjoyable. Not sure why you didn't help yourself to the earplugs we provide to every guest and/or use the white noise machines that are next to each bed...trust me- they'll help you sleep through just about anything.

We had a great stay at Casa Cavernicola! The place was gorgeous with a nice view. The neighborhood was a bit loud as there are a lot of stray animals. Dogs barking and roosters crowing throughout the day made it difficult to sleep, but they do provide you with a white noise machine which is a nice touch!

Host Response

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and sincerely appreciate the private feedback. Without input from first hand experiences we would be unaware of what areas could be improved upon, and we encourage all guests to share if so motivated.

Casa Cavernicola was incredible! My friends and I enjoyed everything it had to offer including the welcome gift baskets! Hosts were super nice, very easy to communicate with, they even helped get us a round trip transportation with a grocery stop! Highly recommend this home if you want to have the best experience. Offering a beautiful home walking distance from all your needs, an amazing view on a hill ledge, and the best service from the hosts! 10/10

Host Response

Moises, the staff, and I are pleased that you and your friends enjoyed your time in Vallarta. Kind and detailed reviews such as yours that highlight an appreciation for our efforts energize us to provide that same level of service to future guests. Thank you.

Incredible stay! Place is great and Moises is so helpful with everything. Makes the trip stress free and so fun! Would definitely stay again!

Host Response

Another shout-out to Moises! Thanks for submitting your kind review and for recognizing Vallarta's best co-host. Hope to see you soon.

The house was great and well appointed. There were great views from the rooftop deck. The beds were very comfortable and I slept well. The hill up to the house was quite steep but we would walk down and take a cab back up for about 100 pesos. No problem. Lots of animals around the neighborhood but it really didn't bother us that much. I would definitely rent again.

Host Response

Thank you Shane, We're glad you all enjoyed your stay and we look forward to the opportunity to host you again one day.

We had a great time, the house was beautiful, Moises and Elvis were both very welcoming and responsive to any questions or help needed. We loved the house being located on a hill that overlooked the city . Our only complaint was not having more time there. I would stay here again and definitely recommend

Host Response

Coming home from vacation is always a bitter pill, but find some solace in the fact that the city and the house will always be there whenever you decide to return. Have a Happy 2025.

We had so much fun at this beautiful spot. We nicknamed it the Barbie Mansion for its beautiful 3 story infrastructure. The plunge pool, tiki bar and chaise on the top level make for the perfect outdoor lounge on those hot Vallarta days. Also there is air conditioning in all the rooms which helps with the humidity. The beds and linens were also very clean and comfortable, all of us experienced a deep peaceful sleep every night. Moises was extremely responsive to our questions and was also very kind! The hill to the apartment is pretty steep at the very end but if you’re able to make it up, the view is amazing. We hope to come back next year!

Host Response

I guess I can see the Barbie comparison, minus all the pink of course. We're so pleased that you and your group enjoyed your stay and we will be ready if and when you decide to visit with us again. Enjoy the holidays.

The Villa was super nice with amazing rooftop and a private jacuzzi. However, the villa is located on a top of a steep hill, and it was difficult to walk there. But it is worth it for the views. Super comfy beds too! During the night earplugs are recommended due to the barking dogs and noisy roosters. These were provided by the house. Also drinking water was available.

Host Response

Thanks for taking the time to write your review of Casa Cavernicola. It really means a lot, and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you and your friends again one day.

We really enjoyed our time at Casa Cavernicola. The host was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. It was comfortable and convenient and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted within the Romantic Zone in about 15-20 mins. The view from the rooftop is a great way to watch the city as the sunset.

Host Response

Thanks for taking the time to write your review of Casa Cavernicola, and thanks for mentioning my cohost in particular. He truly is the best in town.

Absolutely loved our stay at this stunning villa in the hills of Puerto Vallarta! The house is nestled in a scenic jungle, offering breathtaking ocean views that made every moment feel magical. The serene rooftop plunge pool was the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. The host was incredibly responsive and even came by within 10 minutes to resolve a minor issue with the safe. The combination of luxury and natural beauty made this place feel like Beverly Hills meets the Amalfi Coast. Highly recommend for a perfect getaway.

Host Response

We 're pleased that you enjoyed you stay. Thank you for your kind review and for including Casa Cavernicola among two of the world's most desirable travel destinations.

Daniel’s place definitely lived up to the hype. We had an amazing time there and the view from the roof was amazing. Moises was also very great and helpful- he was there to greet us during our arrival and had great recommendations. Definitely would recommend 100%! Thank you for making our first trip to PV so enjoyable.

Host Response

It was our pleasure to help introduce you to the beauty and warmth of Puerto Vallarta.

Great Airbnb with one of the better views in town. Walkable but bear in mind a substantial hill to access it. It was a nice way to burn off all of the calories you’ll inevitably consume. Moises was incredibly welcoming along with a few others who helped show us the house and provided many great recommendations. Would recommend anyone to stay here, easily one of the coolest Airbnbs we’ve all stayed at.

Host Response

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and that you found a way to interpret the steep streets as almost beneficial. You are not the first to prefer communication through the app only. We understand and respect any trepidation about giving your personal contact info to someone with whom you have no prior business dealings, and we will put more of an effort into stressing that going forward. Thanks again, Erik. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

I had a wonderful stay at this property! The host was incredibly communicative and responsive, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. The property itself was tidy and well-maintained, with all the amenities in perfect working order. The air conditioning units were particularly appreciated during the warm days. Overall, a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

We're so glad you and your group enjoyed your stay, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to submit your review. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Dan

This house was truly the nicest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The house was massive and the decor was very cute. The AC was also great. The rooftop terrace and pool was my favorite part of the house. My friends and I enjoyed spending a lot of time up there swimming and taking in the view. Moises was also able to arrange for a private chef experience where they grilled for us on the rooftop while we swam and hung out. Truly an unforgettable experience. The only things that were maybe “cons” were: the hot water would run out fairly quickly for a house of 7 leaving some of use with freezing showers; the dogs and roosters in the area bark a lot (but I’m pretty sure this is most of zona romántica); and throughout our stay, bugs started showing up in the house (could maybe be avoided if you make sure to keep all the windows and doors closed). Regardless of these cons, we really enjoyed our stay!

We stayed here for my birthday and I was the most lovely trip! The house was gorgeous as were the views. Daniel and Moises were super responsive and very attentive. One night the power went off due to a storm and ended up being the issue of the city power, but Moises was over super quick to help us out even late at night. Would highly recommend them for your next trip to Puerto Vallarta :) Thanks so much for having us, we had a blast!

Host Response

Thanks for your patience and understanding, Jillian. In the summer months the increased demand for electricity to power everyone's A/C can cause service disruptions, but they say they are working on improvements. We're happy to hear it didn't dampen spirits too much. Thanks for visiting Casa Cavernicola and have a great summer.

The place was beautiful and they were really helpful! The private chef made delicious meals for us in the rooftop overlooking the view as well :) We had so much fun and had SO MUCH SPACE! So many rooms with the most comfortable beds ever! The only thing is bringing your luggage up the steep stairs so try to pack light or a smaller luggage if you book here. Us girls had a little hard time with that and the construction noise was super loud in the morning and we couldn’t go back to sleep around 8am. Overall, we had an amazing bachelorette experience here!

Host Response

Thanks for visiting Casa Cavernicola. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to the opportunity to host you again one day.

Incredible Airbnb, such a beautiful house with great amenities, the kitchen space was great to cook and we loved lounging on the terrace upstairs with a bbq. They even provided coffee and fruit and a welcome bottle of tequila which was a lovely touch. The beds were so large and comfy we slept so well! Moises our host was super attentive and even let us check in early and check out late, he was so friendly and responsive to all our questions. The location is excellent a 10 minute walk into town where all the restaurants and bars are and about 14 minutes to the beach. The view was stunning. Do not hesitate to book this Airbnb it is a special place. Thank you for everything.

Host Response

Thank you, Anna-Rose, for your kind and thoughtful review. We know you had many choices of accommodation in wonderful Puerto Vallarta and we're so glad you chose to stay with us. Have a great summer, and we look forward to the opportunity to host you and your friends again one day. Dan

Daniel’s place was perfect and Moises was very helpful every step of the way. I was very impressed with the decor of the place, you can tell a lot of attention was spent to make sure the home felt as such. The place was at the top of the hill but we had no issues getting Ubers / cabs to take us up. 10/10 would stay there again.

Host Response

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, Brett. It was an effort to stage the house and I value your appreciation of that effort. We hope to see you all again in the future.

Excellent, 2 years ago

Absolutely wonderful stay. Daniel and his team made check-in and check-out easy and were extremely responsive throughout our stay. They gave great recommendations on places to eat at and things to d. The house was incredible. The rooms and beds are both very comfy and elegant. Washer and dryer are a life-saver. The neighborhood is authentic and neighbors are friendly. A taco stand and grocery market are 2 mins away. The rooftop area is such a fun spot and the pool was extremely relaxing to hang in and around. The view was unbeatable. It is about a 7-10 minute walk down to Zona Romantica which is where I would recommend you spend most of your time. The one thing I would mention is the house is located at the top of a very steep hill, but Ubers back from downtown cost less than $4 USD and were available at all hours so the hilltop location was a positive and not at all a negative. Highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta. I know I will for sure be coming back

Casa Cavernicola was such a great find! It is well-appointed, relaxing, and affordable. I was most impressed with Daniel's cohost, Moises, who was on-site, incredibly communicative, and accommodating. He reached out a week in advance and assisted my group with transport and stocked the house with groceries for a small fee! The highlight of our stay was ending each night on the rooftop, swimming in the pool or gathered around the outdoor kitchen . The house was a respite away from the bustle of the beach. The hills were filled with roosters among other animals; however, each bedroom is equipped with a white noise machine and ear plugs should you need them. I would recommend Casa Cavernicola to any of my friends and would definitely stay here again!

Host Response

I shed a little tear when I read your review, Taylor. You are very kind. Moises is a godsend. I wouldn't be where I am without him and people like you who appreciate all his hard work. You are welcome back any time. Dan
