Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa

Great resort! Beautiful beach, staff were so hard working. ( we tipped well as they busted their tails in the hot sun) Food was good everywhere we ate . Loved our waiter Armando at the culinarily restaurant, the food and service was so good we ate there two nights in a row!! Perfect table service attentive but not annoying, can’t say enough how impressed we were! So many choices at the breakfast buffet . Fresh cooked grouper at the beach grill that was to die for melt in your mouth! We were in the exhale club and butler Willy was very good, did some special things for us, champagne and chocolate shoe to drink it out of! Was a treat. He was very friendly and available by WhatsApp. Room was always cleaned and stocked daily. Furniture is original and has some wear and tear , patio and swim up pool was lovely. Definitely going back !

This was one of the best relaxing vacations I’ve had in a while. This resort had great people and great vibes! My boyfriend and I had our first vacation together and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Every employee was super nice and super helpful. Always had a drink in my hand and the rooms were incredible! All of that and a great price!!

We traveled to Breathless in the beginning of February with another couple. We have traveled a lot, and only been in the DR one other time over 15 years ago. This place is huge. Our day would start out working out in the workout room, which was top notch.. I liked the small room with hand weights and ball and mat as I follow someone on Youtube and this was a perfect option for me. There were two levels, one had treadmills and other machines and the top had many weight machines. Then we would head to Breakfast which was fantastic, Rudy quickly became our favorite waiter and all the staff was top notch. So many options for breakfast. Then we would often stop at the coffee shop for a coffee to go, which is a great little shop if you enjoy specialty coffee. Then to the beach. There are many chairs and covered huts to choose from. We did often put towels down but you could didn't have to get up at day break to get a good seat, many choices. The beach is beautiful, some rocky parts, but some other places for swimming. My husband and friend were able to do some snorkeling off the shore with equipment from the resort. They loved the staff at the dive shop. There is a great wait staff on the beach also. I have been places where wait staff on the beach is scarce.. not here.. They had a beach bar we ate at everyday, great choices, but several other places to cons from if you wanted more. We then would go back to the beach ( plenty of endless beach to walk). We would head up to the large pool, there were many seats around this pool and a bar at one end where there was always things going on. My only complaint with the pool was there were not enough floats to go around. Otherwise this was a great option if you are not a beach person. Then around 4 we would head to the Fun Pool..( like I said this is a fun place). This is where music was always pumping, drinks flowing. There was a foam machine a couple of days. Just a great place if you like a more active place. People were very friendly. We would head back to the room and clean up for supper. The room was nice, not great, we had some trouble with figuring out the thermostat, it was often too cold, but we go that figured out, the plugs in our room where loose, so drying my hair in the bathroom was a trick because I had to hold the plug in and try drying it, Needless to say I did find another plug in the room that worked. The TV would not shut off, even though I mentioned it twice to staff.. and supposedly they fixed it.. Not a big deal once I figured out how to find a music station, mute it and then it didn't keep me up at night. It's pretty cool how it has a hot tub on the deck... Yes all of them.. otherwise the room was large and staff so nice. There are many choices to choose to eat supper, you have a great bar in the front building if you want to do drinks first, but we had the option of the resort next door and could use their restaurants also. This was one of the best choice of restaurants we have been to and the food ( especially the meat (which can be iffy) was good). Then if you are still going the nighttime entertainment would start around 9, there was a large area to sit, a stage and great entertainment. Again also great wait staff, you never were in need of a drink. At this point we were done, they did have quite a night club, but we never went. We meet lots of great people and really had a fun time. ( We were there during the Super Bowl and they had a great party with many large screens around the fun pool. They know how to do it right! )

Clearly meant for the party central visitor. Rooms outdated with old furniture and modern fixtures. Not meant to stay in room except to crash in the middle of the night. Not romantic at all. Do not upgrade to the swim in swim out because it isn’t. Have to walk 10-15 feet to swim in a canal of water. Food was good but 2or3 of the restaurants closed every night. They clearly want you to use buffet options. When I go back to DR, I will try something different.
