Breathless Cancun Soul: Celiac Disease warning

We recently stayed at Breathless Cancun Soul Resort & Spa from April 28 to May 5. Overall, I would describe the experience as mixed. There were definitely positives, but also several issues that significantly impacted the trip. The resort itself has a great location, clean, modern design, good energy, and many staff members genuinely tried to be helpful. We had previously stayed at another Breathless property and had a very positive experience, which is why we booked this trip with fairly hig [... read more]h expectations. Unfortunately, one of the biggest negatives was the Unlimited Vacation Club presentation experience. What was initially presented as a 90-minute breakfast presentation ultimately became a multi-day process involving more than 10 hours of meetings, discussions, contract review, cancellation research, and follow-up conversations with managers attempting to retain the sale after cancellation. The amount of vacation time consumed by this process was far beyond what we expected and became a significant source of stress during the trip. Another issue was that during the final two days of our stay there was active construction taking place directly outside our room in the hallway, including persistent drilling noise until approximately 4 PM daily. We were never informed in advance that construction would be occurring during our stay. While we understand maintenance and upgrades happen, some advance communication would have been appreciated, especially at a premium adults-only resort. The most concerning issue involved gluten-free dining consistency. My wife has celiac disease, and we repeatedly communicated this throughout the stay. Staff did attempt to help, however the handling and understanding of gluten-free options appeared inconsistent across restaurants. For example, on our first night at Spumante, my wife ordered the Fungi Risotto which was marked gluten free. Two nights later at Fish Nets, she ordered another risotto dish also marked gluten free, only to later be told the risotto was actually not gluten free. At that point, it became clear that she had likely already been exposed to gluten earlier in the trip, as she had been experiencing symptoms consistent with gluten exposure. This resulted in illness, medication being required, and ongoing stress around meals for the remainder of the vacation. To be fair, we fully understand that there is always some level of cross-contamination risk when traveling with celiac disease, and this is something we routinely manage successfully both at home and while traveling elsewhere. The concern here was less about the existence of risk itself and more about inconsistent information, education, and understanding surrounding menu items that were specifically identified as gluten free. There were still enjoyable parts of the trip, and many staff members were friendly and worked hard. However, the combination of the prolonged sales process, construction disruption, and gluten-related issues significantly impacted what was intended to be a relaxing vacation. I would recommend the resort to travelers who enjoy a lively atmosphere and modern property, but I would strongly encourage future guests to be aware of the vacation club sales environment and to ask detailed questions regarding dietary accommodations if gluten-free dining is important to them.

Breathless Riviera Cancun: Amazing resort

First time at an adults only resort and it was fantastic. Staff were extremely friendly and anticipated our needs very well. Food and drinks and overall atmosphere of the resort was fun and upbeat. The night club and the entertainment were both refreshing and consistent, which was nice because we always had something to do.

Breathless Cabo San Lucas: Amazing Resort

All around great resort. Large rooms, Clean, attention to detail, food awesome, the staff very accommodating. Location is absolutely perfect, walking distance to everything...Medano Beach, downtown, shopping, overlooks the marina., Strongly recommended.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: 100% recommend

Everything you wanted and more. The room was huge and amazing. Food was 5 stars and the drinks keep coming. You are steps away from the blue water beach with relaxing spots to be in the sun or not. Would go again

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: I didn’t want to leave….

March 5-12, 2026. My first visit to a resort. We were greeted by Alex our concierge, He proved to be amazing and made our trip so relaxing… A daily update on what was available, his hours and we saw him everyday. Next visit I will definitely request Alex. There is so many choices of restaurants… the French restaurant had the best steak.. The donuts in the Strip Grill for breakfast are the best donuts that I have ever had. I would love the brand or recipe..(hint). Unfortunately we had a v [... read more]ery windy week, so we couldn’t go deep sea fishing. The beach is wonderful, I could have just sat enjoying the sound of the waves, pelicans and the people enjoying the waves. No Sargassum, very few people selling on the beach. If you just say no they do not bother you. I would recommend paying the extra for Xhale, the Xhale lounge is amazing and the staff are fabulous. If you have the opportunity to see Sam (singer) at the lounge. He was amazing. The rooms were big, very clean and well taken care. Thank you Manuel.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Wonderful resort and beach

Traveled with my sister, brothers and their wives and some friends to celebrate various occasions. Wonderful resort with fabulous buffet at Spoon for every meal - tons of options beautifully presented, especially the dessert station. Great and helpful staff everywhere - activities people, wait staff, housekeeping, groundskeepers, etc. Best meals at French restaurant, Coquette, and Culinaria (continental). Room was always clean, good size w 2 double beds, big bathroom with huge shower, double sin [... read more]ks, separate toilet..we had garden view. Beach was great and could walk in either direction for over an hour each way..Breathless is in a bit of a cove so waves were less predominant than other resorts we passed, and very little seaweed/sargassum. Windy so only parasailing going on for a couple of days, but very sandy. Reefs not far out from shore so some people were snorkeling. The party pool was a party pool with younger crowd, but main pool closer to the beach was quieter. If you choose Pool View for a room, might want to be sure it's facing the main pool, as very noisy on the balcony if you are opposite the loud party pool during the day. Was great to have access to the Dreams Onyx, especially for the lazy river and slides. All in all, an excellent experience and surpassed our expectations.

Breathless Cancun Soul: Beautiful ocean view

The room was beautiful and an ocean view,which was an upgrade. We were treated well with decent service. The food in the restaurants were also delicious. We were at the French/mexican and buffet. The room was very clean when we checked in. Maintenance was reasonable some improvement on general cleaning like floors/bathroom area could have been more detailed. When we checked in I felt pressured with the sales girl Andrea. We hadn’t eaten and had an early flight. It was not the time for sales. [... read more] We just wanted to eat and nothing was available till 6:00 pm accept the coffee shop.

Very clean,wonderful staff and excellent variety of food! Beautiful beach,lots of activities to do. Lots of restaurants to choose from too. Entertainment was top notch and loved their costumes! Would go again.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: 5 star resort

The resort is beautiful. Staff very helpful and seem to be happy at their jobs. The common areas are well maintained. The pools are very clean. The beach area is great, lots of chairs and space, clean. The buffet is incredible. Some of the restaurants are great, a couple need some attention. The rooms are clean, well maintained, stocked, comfortable. The only negative would be to avoid weeks of college break, the resort is overrun with large groups of college students.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Beautiful resort

Everything was perfect From the people to beach ⛱️ And Everything in between!!! Having access to dreams onyx the family side was great. The Waterpark with the slides & lazy river..restaurants was an added bonus.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Amazing Resort!

Absolutely no complaints about Breathless Punta Cana. Far exceeding our expectations. The food is delicious and a wide variety of options. The resort is very clean. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. The beach is quiet and serene if you like peaceful vibes. The pools are more high tempo if that’s your thing. There is something for everyone at Breathless Punta Cana

Breathless Riviera Cancun: A Vacation to Come Back To

We found everything to be clean, upkept and pleasing to the eye. The rooms, grounds, and restaurants were beautiful. The food was better than most all inclusives, the entertainment was fantastic! We definitely recommend and would return.

Breathless Cancun Soul: Great Resort

This is the second time we have been here, so we obviously thought enough to come back. This was largely because of service from Daniel in the buffet and service from the entire pool club from XHale...simply outstanding. They recognized us from last year and those are the things that make you feel you are coming home! All good, but, hopefully, one suggestion, for xHale members, why not leave beepers in the lounge so they can put us on the dinner wait list and give us a beeper. Then we don [... read more]'t run up and down It seems easy...hopefully it is! I know it was a different guest list this year with people switching from Jamaica. We had girls fighting beside us and they took it into the hall...it was a disaster. The next night it was a huge party in the room. You can't vet your guest list but security needs to take it seriously and be there faster.

Breathless Cancun Soul: Breathless cancun

This was our second visit to this resort The main difference was there was a very different clientele, mostly guests original headed to Jamaica. We were in the Exhale wing and for three nights we had fighting foul mouth females We don't feel that the front desk personal should be asked to rectify this very volatile situation This happened from 2am each morning. Very annoying to say the least

Breathless Cancun Soul: so good!

I loved it here - the service was amazing and the resort was extremely clean. I truly think it was well done. The food options were great, the rooms were clean, the pools were well kept. Drinks were slightly watered down.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Beautiful site and courteous staff

The place is really well kept, staff speaks very good English. Food was excellent including the coffee. Very clean rooms, but it is somewhat of a party place. One needs to escape to the beach to have some quiet time outside between 9Am to 6 pm. The entertainment was really loud in the evening and very modest in the quality of the performance. I had to ask to review the sound quality since you can hear high level of bass (distorted) up to the beach. And with in 2 days the issue was sol [... read more]ved.

Breathless Cancun Soul: Nice resort

The resort was nice, and as usual the staff and the people of Mexico are truly wonderful. The facilities are very nice as are the restaurants. The French was not open during our stay so I can’t comment on that. The rooms were nice and cleaning staff did a great job. Beach was nice but not private, so very busy. Save your money on booking the exhale upgrade package, approx. $800. Per room as in included vertically nothing. All in all, a nice place. Enjoyed my visit.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Amazing Place to Visit

This is a must visit place to go. The rooms are comfortable. The swim out room was worth the upgrade. Everything is beautiful and upkept well. The staff are all wonderful and friendly. Food was amazing. Visit the French and Strip for a la carte restaurants for sure.
