Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa

I would recommend going to the breathless. The service was way better than i could have ever imagined. Very attentive and courtious. Service was very knowledgeable, the resort was very clean. The burgers from the Barefoot grill were the best without a doubt. Beach was beautiful and well maintained.

My group of eight had an awesome time at Breathless. The staff was amazing, especially Ricky, Scooby, Chocolate and Betty Boop. We loved all of the activities and all of the food and dining options.

This is a great Adult place to stay, Never have to leave the resort, great pools with swim up bars, great beach for snorkeling, good food & best of all... the people are great! Lots of fun, entertainment & overall great service. Super clean as well. Never did I feel scared or threatened. I felt very safe & comfortable! I would recommend & will be going back!

My wife and I traveled as a couple and this is only the 2nd all inclusive vacation we have taken. We arrived slightly before check-in time. We were immediately helped and the check in process was very fast. We received a 3rd floor king bed exhale room overlooking the main pool, but we did not get any of the exhale amenities. This was fine beause we didn't pay for any exhale upgrades either. They immediately tried to sell us on their "welcome breakfast" so we could take advantage of the $200 in resort coupons. **Read the fine print on the resort coupons and you will see they are only good for $10 here and $20 there. You can't use them, for example, for $200 off the spa treatments.** We declined the breakfast and coupons because we were not interested in purchasing into the Unlimited Vacation Club membership. We also read reviews that this breakfast has been known to take a couple hours. No thanks. The next two mornings we were also approached to attend their breakfast. We needed to be rude in order for them to stop asking us. The sales pitches were very off-putting. The resort should be nice enough to sell its own memberships, not pushy sales people. The room was exactly as advertised. We did not have any musty smells or humidity problems in the rooms. We brought damp rid just in case and after 6 days there was hardly any water collected. We didn't have any issues with bugs in the rooms or outside either. The air conditioning worked just fine, but was limited to 68 degrees. The only trouble we had with the room was the TV didn't work, but who comes here to watch TV? In any case, we called and they had it fixed within an hour. We didn't have any issues with our room safe or theft as others have mentioned. We locked the safe with nothing in it to see if anyone tampered with it throughout the week. We locked our valuables in our suitcase. The safe and suitcase were never messed with all week. The drinks here were fine, but they don't really have top shelf liquor choices. If you ordered a drink from the bar it wasn't watered down and they made the drinks with ample alcohol. If you want more, just ask for a drink and an extra shot (it won't cost extra). If you ordered drinks from servers, they might take up to 15 minutes to get them to you and some of the ice is melted. I think this is why people complain about watered down drinks. Newsflash...it's hot outside and ice melts. If you want it fresh, walk to the bar yourself (ask for Kelvin, He's the best bartender on the property). The pools were nice. Large enough to relax in relative quiet or hangout in the crowds by the swim up bars. There is generally music playing at the main and freestyle pools, but we never thought it was overly loud. There are missing tiles throughout the pools and I did get a couple very minor cuts. Just be careful about sliding your hands and feet along the pool edges and you'll be fine. The beach was nice; however, the seaweed people have mentioned is definitely everywhere. Breathless tried to keep up cleaning it, but it certainly wasn't the pristine, white sandy beaches people expect. Drink service on the beach was very good (shout out to Mario). Possibly because tourism is down right now due to the American media. Servers were constantly coming around and bringing fresh drinks. Not sure if the resort is filled to capacity, you would receive the same level of service. The food was hit or miss. We had some good meals and we had some mediocre meals. Nothing was terrible though. Breakfast had great, made to order, omelletes. The barefoot grill was ok for a quick bite while not leaving the pool / beach areas. The nook cafe has good coffee, but the serving size was only about 3 oz. My wife and I both did have some stomach issues at the end of the trip; not sure what caused it and I'll spare the details. Maybe we should have paid a little more attention to how long food sits out at buffets and whether it was cooked properly. The entertainment shows were just ok. They mostly consisted of poorly choreographed dance routines with scantily clad dancers. Very high school-ish. The spa building is under construction right now so they are offering spa services in a make-shift spa area consisting of empty guest rooms. All in all, we had a great trip. We were able to relax in quiet places or hangout in the "party areas". We never felt unsafe (security was everywhere on the property). The other guests and staff were all very nice.
