Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa

The lack of quality by this place speaks volume. The food taste as if they have just been heating it up and then leaving it out to sit out. I have never been more disappointed in resort dining. I chose to not eat certain meals because the food is actually that bad. The room was nothing interesting. The hot tub did not work when we arrived but someone leisurely came up to fix it. Our rooms were cleaned daily which was nice. The alcohol is bottom shelf/watered down. I still have a headache from the time I was there. They also have outside vendors come to the resort to sell you things. The vendors harass you at your own resort. Is that not crazy? The time share people are also equally aggressive. I cannot believe I had a horrible stay at a resort.

An all inclusive that doesnt take reservations isnt a first but multiple hour waits each night forcing you to a buffet is unacceptable and the staff is what I would call less than caring or responsive The one restaurant that did provide a pager for when your table was in fact ready was a breath of fresh air after having literally walked to sister properties and experiencing the same thing Wife and I dont drink beer which was stocked in the room and were told that if we wanted Vodka we could drink all we wanted downstairs at the bar....Why am I treated differently than other guests because of a gluten allergy ?.....Again..no answers or concern There is one ATM on the property and it was "broken" for the duration of our stay necessitating the use of the "bank" on the property itself....with an 18% fee to obtain money Getting something as simple as ice seemed to require three signatures

Adri Hernandez,Lizabeth,Emilio,Eli’s,Yrani,Juan,German,Yuderi, Margarita, Stephanie, Carlos are just a few of the great people at Breathless that go out of there way everyday too make your stay special . There are many great resorts in Punta Cana but Breathless has the best people taking care of you. So it’s easy for me to return for my 10th vacation at Breathless. Food and service is the best Along with all the employees. Thank you for another special vacation I will return. Jose paid me $5.00 to post his picture I wanted $6.00 HaHa.

Booking thru CheapCaribbean.com was so easy and efficient. They took care of everything, flight, resort, and even transfer to and from the airport. But the resort left a lot to be desired. Starting with the food. The first night we arrived (which was Christmas Eve), we were told me needed to make reservations at one of two restaurants that were serving a 5 course meal. It was not very impressive. We left feeling underwhelmed. We later heard other guests mention that they went to the buffet and it was amazing. But we were never even given that option. We are at the Asian place next and were equally underwhelmed that we left before dinner and just thought we could order room service instead. My husband ordered a steak that was too tough and the vegetables tasted like they had been frozen. I ordered a pizza and the dough was undercook. The next night was at the French restaurant and it was very good. I ordered the grilled lobster so we could use the voucher we received on our “tour” (see below). Next was the rooms. Our ceiling fan was so loud and noisy and we had to tell 3 different people before someone was finally sent to fix it. He worked quickly and did a great job and it was quiet after that but then we realized the light didn’t work! We called twice about getting the light fixed but they never showed. So we never did get that fixed. I mentioned that CheapCaribbean.com was very good, but when we arrived the first thing they booked us for was a “tour” of the resort. The girl said she wanted to meet us for breakfast and then go on a short tour. She asked us how long we usually take for breakfast and we answered 20 minutes. We thought we would be out of there after 20 minutes but it was a timeshare presentation that took over 90 minutes. I was wasting good pool time since it was actually nice weather and as soon as the tour was over, it got all cloudy and overcast. (No, I’m not blaming CheapCaribbean for the weather, but I am blaming them for wasting my time! The only useful things that came out of the tour were the voucher and we learned about the neighboring resort NOW Onyx. The restaurants next-door were much better than at Breathless. We ate over there twice. But because NOW Onyx is “family friendly“, I literally had a kid sneeze into my food from about 10 inches away. Again, I’m not blaming CheapCaribbean for that, just sharing my experience. We liked being at an Adults Only resort (no yelling, crying, or sneezing kids). We didn’t really partake in any of the nightlife because we were there to relax. We loved that it was all-inclusive. And we really loved the beach. The sand was perfect, there were so many chairs available: in the open or under the thatch huts/palm trees, but the food and drinks were not great enough to make me want to return.
