Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Party or Relax

My husband and I just returned from a week stay at breathless. The beach here was beautiful and you could go for long walks daily. There were many pools to choose from some being the quieter pools while the other was the busier pool with music blasting all day. There was a mixture of people of all ages, singles and couples. The room was okay definitely needs some updating and more furniture ex. couch or table and chairs especially when you decide to order room service. The bathroom was lar [... read more]ge with large shower. Do not get a ground floor room unless you want to get woken up every night from people walking back from the Afterdark bar which is opened until 3:00am. We were woken up on several occasions to people yelling in the hallway. This doesn't happen in a couples only resort. The food was good, but not exceptional. The service was very good and the employees work hard every day and some have multiple jobs. The employees is really what makes this resort survive. We couldn't make reservation for supper however some of the waiting time was really disappointing. The entertainment was good and especially the beach party/Fire show, but unfortunately the pool party was cancelled due to rain. Lots of entertainment throughout the day on the beach/pool if you like to exercise. The drinks were watered down including the wine which surprised me for a 4+ resort. This was really disappointing. This was our first time at a resort with singles usually we do couples only (not to be critical but The excellence Resort/Secrets Resort). In the future we will be going to couples only resorts. This was not as luxurious as we had hoped, but still had a good time.

Breathless Cabo San Lucas: Nice Resort

This is a smaller resort without the massive pools or grounds of some of the bigger all inclusive resorts in the Mayan. It is located right at the marina in Cabo. Only minutes away from shopping, restaurants and bars. The resort is very nice. All of the food in the restaurants was excellent. Do not go here if you want a great beach experience. While you can swim in this area of Cabo, the beach area is small with no outdoor bars, etc. The average age of the crowd was around 35. Not a crazy atmosp [... read more]here but younger crowd for sure.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Second stay/ wedding week

This was a our second stay at Breathless Punta Cana. Our first stay was April 2015. We chose Breathless as our wedding destination because we loved it so much! The hotel is clean, the staff are friendly, and the food is awesome! We stayed in the ocean front master suite which was stunning. Our guests also had a great time. The only thing we noticed a decline in, from our initial stay, was the entertainment department. When we went two years ago we knew so many staff by name and even befriended o [... read more]ne. We noticed we hardly saw anyone around from the entertainment team. Also, several people ate burgers there and were sick. They were raw in the middle. The wine is also not good so don't stay here if you are a wine enthusiast. Other than that, it is a beautiful resort. I love the décor here! Our wedding was fantastic. I was overly impressed by the buffet dinner at our wedding reception! I highly recommend this resort! You can party if you want or enjoy piece and quiet if you want. upgrading to exhale was worth it to us so we could access the exhale pool and have upgraded beverages.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Breathless resort

we went to Breathless resort on April/07/18 for our daughter’s wedding. Loved the resort, food, cleanliness and staff. Highly recommend this resort. Only thing I did’t like was their wine, but made due, took some down with us.

Breathless Riviera Cancun: Perfect Vacation

We arrived at the hotel Mid afternoon and were promptly greeted with champagne and cool towels. We stayed on the xhale club which was perfect for those wanting a quiet area. Loved every minute and would definitely return .

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Beautiful resort

The hotel, grounds, pools, food, beach, restaurants were absolutely amazing. The staff was there to help and ensure your trip was perfect in every aspect. Great nightly entertainment which was well orchestrated and very entertaining. This resort has thought of it all. Beautiful beaches with lots of seats, service and amazing atmosphere.

Breathless Riviera Cancun: Great resort

This resort has everything you want good food and entertainment three pools to match your mood ...the party pool was mostly self absorbed selfie takers but the other pools were very good atmosphere Food was good and the restaurants being open till 11 have a decent chance to go to dinner after a hard day of relaxing

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: 4 night stay, 4 different rooms

The grounds were beautiful, the beach was amazing, and the staff on the grounds were friendly. In contrast, the front desk staff was terrible. We learned that "we will be there in 5 minutes" translates to: "wait for an hour and then you will have to call again". Malfunctions with the air freshener in our room kept us awake until 2am while staff ineffectually tried to fix it. Unfortunately for us, terrible service from the front desk and substandard hotel rooms resulted in our desire to never re [... read more]turn to this particular resort.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Amazing Resort and destination !

We got here and were greeted by friendly staff , the room was spectacular although the upgraded ocean front view was expensive is worth every penny for first time vacationers to a resort ! Tons to do with events every day and evening , lots of pools wether you want to party or somewhere quiet there is a place for every mood. The food is great and they cater to you so good your never without ! The rooms were well kept and clean and the overall impression is very well maintainted and keep t up  [... read more]! Over all we were very impressed and highly recommend Breathless ! I'm sure we'll be back to this one !

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Enjoyed our stay

First of all the above picture is not what our room looked like! Our vacation was over 9 days, at Breathless, Punta Cana. The trip from the airport takes about 50 min to arrive at hotel, check in was quick, a brief attempt to upcharge to a “better” room, starting at $90 a night and then when we said no, he tried again at $60, we still said no and he gave us a “free” upgrade, which was what we were getting anyway. A king bed, 2nd floor room, pool view, or courtyard view. Our room 1236, w [... read more]as directly across from main pool where after day in sun we were able to watch the end of day activities! There are time share salesmen but we managed to avoid them,we were not interested and they left us alone, we did say a few white lies to not have to endure the talk and pitch for the package. The room was clean, worn in areas, bed spread or throw at end of bed had stains on it. One chair to put suitcase on, ample storage and closet space.They provided robes and slippers which we used, nice and soft terry cloth. Air and fan in room worked well. The shower and bathroom could have used some grout work, shower slow to drain, needed to turn water off during your shower to insure it didn’t flood. Toiletries are provided, manly smelling, good for males not females. The towels are thinning, we asked for bed linen to be changed by housekeeping, and she did, left her candy everyday and room was nicely done. We met the daily bar fridge restocker, Willy, who was awesome! He took the time to meet us, we found out about his family, and even when he was not stocking and just in hotel, he smiled and asked if he could get us anything, always smiling. We only had to call for coffee and water on first day, but after we met Willy, never again. Also at al la carte dinners, they have a staff member ask if everything was acceptable in your room, if you needed anything, request turn down service or anything else that you needed for room, and by time you returned from dinner it was done. We went to all al a carte dinners except for Sian, we were fortunate to meet Nicholas at the beach BBQ,on our first day, and he then arranged our first al la carte at the Culinaria, he was our server and he made sure the dinner was outstanding, and for rest of the vacation we went where he recommended, and was working, and we were not disappointed, had great dinners every time. Only the second time at the Italian did I have a meal which I sent the appetizer back, and then also had a terrible entree, could not eat it, the server was rude, not our Nicholas, so it was disappointing. We ate breakfast at the buffet every am, great variety. We ate lunch at the beach BBQ, lots to choose from, great burgers, paninis, fries, pizza, salads, fruits, ice cream, never went hungry. The beach drink servers were fabulous, Ariel and Ricardo need a big raise, as they walk miles on the beach bringing you drinks, water, and smiles. Beach is beautiful, can walk for miles in any direction, “shopping” vendors up off beach, there are areas that are public beach, so need to be careful. The resort is lively, pool entertainment is theme based,nightly entertainment varies and they post a schedule daily. The only complaint or concern we had was that although it is an adult resort, 18+, there were very young students at the evening entertainment, from the sister resort Now, who were there drinking, “watching” show with 2 Mothers of the teens who were not great role models at all, who were also drunk, not interested in anything other than picking up the entertainment staff. The “young” adults were loud, swearing and pretty much behaving like idiots, and security did not really do much to stop them that evening and again the next day on the beach. The self indulgent rich spoiled kids, who have obviously no regard for manners or how to behave in public without their parents. So for that reason I would probably check to make sure that the minimum age for a resort is 21, when I stay somewhere again. Or perhaps the resort should not allow minors to attend adult evening shows, as they were adult theme, and stay off the beach where they could not be served, put bracelets on the underagers is a start. All in all, a great party atmosphere, good restaurants to eat, no reservations required, be prepared to wait a short time, great beach, make friends with the waiters and be pleasant to the staff, they work hard, and in turn they make your stay memorable.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Amazing !!!

To be honest, I’m never a guy to like to review on hotels or staff, however, this hotel is beautiful, staff is amazing, food is good, entertainment vibe is wonderful. Staff on the beach are amazing. Ricardo, Ariel, Anyelo, Samuel, Wilken!!! Great people !

Breathless Cabo San Lucas: Mixed feelings

There is no better location in Cabo. A two minute walk to town, incredible view of the ocean and marina and a beautiful beach. The food was good but not up to other Breathless high standards. Limited nightlife at the resort, plenty in town. It claims to be a singles Mecca, it’s mostly a couples resort with bachelorette and bachelor thrown in.

Breathless Montego Bay: Very High Tech, Modern Resort

This Breathless resort is very modern looking and very upscale. It has all of the amenities you would look for in a 5 star hotel. It has only been up and running for just 1 yr. First the room, it has modern upscale styling to it with the latest amenities. The room has power operated drapes and a power operated privacy screen, if you prefer, that covers the three sided glass shower that goes from floor to ceiling with two large rain head shower heads. Hot tub on the balcony. It has an array  [... read more]of modern subdued led lighting some in different colors. The in- room safe and fridge are hidden/blended in behind cabinetry that flows in the room. The only issue is the in room safe is just off of the floor which makes it a bit difficult to get at the things at the rear of the safe.You may have to get on your hands and knees to reach them. There is free wifi throughout the resort with a tablet in your room for your use. A 65 inch TV is in the room as well. The beds are comfortable with which appears to have hybrid mattresses. The views are very nice. We stayed on the 4th floor of the 5 floor hotel. There is a 6th floor, (Roof) which has a bar, pool, hot tub and restaurant on it. The best views can be had from the 5 th floor which is for exhale club members and the 4th floor as well as some 3rd floor rooms. The first and second floor rooms are considered tropical views although all rooms face the pools and waterfront. The Breathless resort only has 150 rooms, which is a nice size. There are several pools. There is the main pool which is large and a smaller one between the large band shell structure which is where they have a foam party every day at 3.00-5.00 pm. This one is off limits and only used for the foam party. A hot tub beside the main pool is available. There is also a pool on the roof of the hotel with a hot tub as well as previously mentioned.The pool area is quiet during the daytime until the foam party starts up and then it become loud and the Tech music starts up. Guests from the Secret St James and Wild Orchid can join in the foam party which can get large at times. The restaurants on site are the Cuisine restaurant off the main lobby which is very good, which also has the breakfast buffet. The waiter we had was Mark. He was excellent and was eager to please and very dedicated and experienced. There was also the restaurant on the roof which served East Indian food at supper and Mediterranean food during lunch. Also there is a restaurant off the main pool called Fish Nets which had seafood. One night there is a special dinner there, called Chef's Surprise, that we were invited to at Fish Nets which included a 9 course meal. You don't know what you are going to get to eat. It was great food prepared by the chef. He explains everything during each course. If you are lucky enough to get invited to it, take advantage of the opportunity. Security is high here. You don't get in or out of the resort unless security sees you and asks your room number and where you are going etc. They are at the Skywalk entrance which is a covered bridge/walkway that joins the Breathless resort to the St James property. Security, also is all over the place watching. People at the Secrets locations with the Preferred designation can visit the complex at any time for meals etc., while the basic accommodations from the Secret property have to wait until 9.00 to visit. Breathless guests can access the Secrets property at any time for the beaches or the many restaurants on the Secrets' property. At the end of the St James Secrets Preferred property there is a Hard Rock Cafe for food and party atmosphere, if you choose, at your expense. Once again you have to go through Secrets security. Overall, very nice and very clean property. (They even scrub down the sidewalks every night.) It is about a 15-20 min drive from the airport. Breathless Montego Bay is a real 5 Star property, not a "supposed one". We have been to Breathless in Punta Cana and it doesn't measure up to this one. We have also been to Secrets St James MoBay 4 times as well. These properties in Montego Bay are very good as they are one of the best places we have been. We have been to many, many different properties all around the Caribbean and Mexico etc and this is our favorite one. That's why we have been coming back here this many times.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Resort for Younger Partiers

The resort is nice, clean and well laid out. The xhale club beach front room is amazing. The staff awesome. It is very much a younger persons' "party" atmosphere - lobby is like a night club. So if you are there to relax it's not the place for you (but their sister location next door is). If you aren't - lots going on, especially in the evening (not first class entertainment but definitely a party) and at the "party pool". Food was "okay", not great, not bad - many restaurants to choose fr [... read more]om - seafood/steaks limited. The best thing I can say about this resort (having been to the DR 14 times) is that the staff are top notch and service same.

Breathless Riviera Cancun: Foamy Fun

Lots of action (if you want it it). Beautifully clean resort with amazing staff. Always joking and having a good time the staff seem like they really enjoy what they do which is refreshing. The restaurants were awesome and we were able to visit each one. We never ate at the buffet in the evening but I'm sure it was good as the breakfasts were great. Foam party was lots of fun (ask my husband lol). We are older but fit in just fine and didn't fine it over the top. We had one loud night due to rud [... read more]e neighbors but the front desk staff moved us immediately without question. Great experience ☺😊

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Fun Resort

The hotel, staff, food, grounds were all fantastic. I'm not one to complain about being on vacation. Some restaurants were closed during the evening. So we just ate at Spoon the buffet. There was a party pool and quiet pool. I enjoyed the entertainment. I found the staff to be extremely friendly. I would recommend.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Amazing resort

Everything was excellent. Very courteous staff. Rooms are very clean. The resort to me is a five star plus. This was the best food and entertainment we have ever had in the Dominican. We would certainly go back to this resort again.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: This is a beautiful well kept resort

On arrival we were promptly taken care of.Unfortunately when we got to our room it was on the ground floor and I had specifically requested not to be on the ground floor. The front desk promptly took care of this and we were given an upgrade to a third floor room overlooking the beach. The room was well maintained each day. The restaurants that we went to were very good and the food was excellent. Hotel staff were very courteous and friendly and were constantly checking to ensure that everythin [... read more]g was going well and that we were enjoying our stay. My only disappointment was the beach area as the water was rough pretty well every day, so we could not go into the ocean as the "red" flag was up.The beach itself was nice for getting the sun as they had lots of beach chairs and activity. We did make up for it when we went on the day tour to Saona Island and the Blue Lagoon. That made up for not being able to swim at the resort beach...All in all, it was a very enjoyable vacation and I would return to this resort.

Breathless Cabo San Lucas: Breathless left me speechless

Breathless was equal parts good and bad. The good: very clean everywhere, restaurants are better than most all-inclusives. The bad: no water sports, nightly entertainment is non-existent despite what they say, staff will rudely ask for tips (even though all gratuities are meant to be included, as per Breathless advertising).

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Breathless Resort!!!

My husband and I just got back from Breathless Resort and Spa Punta Cana celebrated our 15th year wedding anniversary. When i booked our trip I upgraded it to xhale club with swim up pool the room is beautiful but complained after 2 nights because our room is at the end beside alley way where workers loading and unloading their stuff. We went to the club and spoke to Gilberto he was very helpful and go beyond. We ended up upgrading our room to exhale club master suit ocean view room 2394...one  [... read more]of the best room at the resort paid extra US$500 with Gilberto's help we got a discount yes, for me its worth it..its a luxury room with 2 bathrooms, huge living room and king size bed and 2 jazzucci inside our room and at the balcony. We treated like King and Queen...bed made twice a day with a surprised every night with chocolates, champagne etc...and fridge is fully stocked everyday. We got calls every morning if we needed something and to make sure everything is OK. Gilberto, you are amazing, thank you very much for making our vacation so special. Also, our butler Papa Eudi...thank you very much for everything you did for us....and the surprised you did on our last night was unforgettable..you guys know how to treated your guest so special. I also need to thanks Black Armani for a great pool workout...you rock man. Also to Martina for always giving us a welcoming smile and for cooking my calamari as requested. Its a fun fun place...my husband and I had a great time...from day 1 new years eve to the end of our trip. It was one of our best vacation together...great memories for the two of us. I also like that you can walk in to any restaurants when you are ready to eat and not booking in advance. Food is awesome more than i expected except the Japanese restaurant food was OK. We only eat once at the buffett which they have great selection as well and for lunch since we upgrade it to xhale club we have a choice not to go eat at the buffet for lunch. This resort is a party place day and night but also there's a place for those who choice to be in the quite place. At night if you like boom boom music...you'll love it not my kind of music but again you don't have to be there. All in all this resort I'll give it a five star.
