Great resort/AMERICAN airlines And cheap carribbe
Beautiful resort. Great food. Great staff. Cheap Caribbean guaranteed us a special room for our honeymoon. We were not given the promised room. The resort had no idea when we asked about the room.American airlines was horrible. Purchased trip insurance. Missed a flight. Cheap Caribbean knew nothing about our insurance and directed us to the insurance company, and would not help us rebook
My recent trip to Breathless was awesome. The staff is very friendly and attentive (always had a drink in my hand). The pools and beach are well kept. I loved that you had many different options of pools, especially if you want to avoid the “party pool”. The mini bar in the room was always refilled and house keeping did a great job. The only downsides to Breathless are the food and vendors. The food wasn’t good at all. Although they have many different options, I didn’t have one good meal the whole time I was there. The resort allows different outside vendors to come in and allow them to harass you while you sit by the pool. It was extremely annoying to have the outsiders come up and try to get you to sign up for one of their excursions while you’re just trying to relax. Overall great resort.
My best friend and I came here for a 6 day vacation and it was by far the best experience ever. The food was amazing, the rooms were amazing and a huge shout out to the entire E team and dancers. Blacky, Falcón, Jonathan,Venezuela, Scooby, Pikachu, Mr. Love and the rest of the crew made this experience amazing and it wouldn’t have been the same without you all!!! We will be back to join the party again. Until next time- Hasta Luego amigos!!!
Somebody went into our room and went through our safe that was locked. It was a real hassle to get them to open it back up for us to retrieve our passports and valuables. Not sure what if anything was missing however it did ruin our vacation.

No reservations are needed for the restaurants

Although this website responded to you that reservations are necessary, I contacted the Breathless Punta Cana resort yesterday. The representative to whom I spoke said that NO reservations are necessary. In fact, he elaborated and said they pride themselves on the "Three Rs: No Reservations, No Restrictions, No Wristbands!" Then he said he knows wristbands is spelled with a W, but the word still sounds as though it starts with an R! Very cute.

The only restaurant that you have to make a reservation for is Silk City but that's only because they are trying to fill the tables around the hibachi grills.

We stayed at the X-Hale club, and I wouldn't recommend it. You have access to the Strip Grille and Sofrito's...but they are only open for breakfast and lunch....and it is a long walk to the lobby where the evening restaurants/ entertainment is. The X-Hale club is closer to the beach, and the rooms are slightly larger.....in my opinion, not worth the extra money.

Exhale members get rooms closer to the beach, and breakfast is served in a bech restaurant instead of buffet for regular members, all other restaurants are available for all.

The entertainment team (E-Team) does an excellent job with the entertainment.

The outdoor theater had a Belly Dancing Show, A Circus, a Singer, and a Dance Review. There is a saxophone player / organist at the Wink bar, and a band that plays nightly in the Plaza.

They have the "E" team with Baby Blue and Sexy Jesus and they are amazing. They are on the beach at 11 am with games everyday and at the pool around 3 with games. They do great shows every night @ 9:30 (we didn't miss one) and go to the club to dance with you at 11.

We are currently at the resort. It has been very windy (red flags) everyday. It's tan/brown sand, but very soft and they did a great job with beach chairs, yoga platforms, beach 'beds' with curtains. In addition, they have an activities station that can arrange water excursions at a different location if the weather isn't cooperating at Breathless,
Hope this helps.

I've gone to Punta Cana twice in the same month.The first time i went was in the beginning of Dec 2015 and it was not windy was hot the second time was in the recently on dec 20 2016 and it was very windy.I have attached a picutre of the beach even tho it was windy i was able to enjoy the beach, but breathless has so many pools you can enjoy if anything and its right next to i Now Onyx which is small but nice and beautiful.

How is the food quality and service overhaul ?3 answers

The resort is rated 41/2 suns by Cheapcaribbean.com. website. For more information please contact the resort directly at www.breathlessresorts.com/punta-cana.
LisaCC
Many people (including ourselves) experienced stomach problems. There is a serious fly problem with the open air buffets, and the wait for the sit-in restaurants was 1.5-2 hours at night (could not reserve ahead of time). Only 2-3 sit down restaurants open each night, and they were not equipped to handle the volume of people at the resort. Quality in French restaurant was excellent (ate there 2 nights), while the Asia (hibachi) overcooked the food, as did the Italian. Buffet was 'average'. No food available from 11-12 and 3-6 each day, except Beachside Grill or room service.
TJD730
Food: plenty of choices and good hours that give you enough time to catch breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You will never be hungry, and you will never be unsatisfied. Recommend going to the French restaurant.
Service: phenomenal. Better than some/most american services. but BE NICE and they will equally treat you with respect.

Is it safe to drink mixed drinks with ice?5 answers
5 years, 66 months ago
Dkirk
The resorts do use filtered water when preparing food and beverages.
MariaCC
Probably. We did and tried to avoid drinking large amounts of tap water. We did not get sick but there were people around us that did. My advice with most visits to countries is to avoid when you can an be careful with uncooked fruits and vegatables that have not been peeled. I travel alot and think I have adjusted to this issues a bit but gettiing sick is no fun. When in doubt....bottled beer and bottled water.
wb62604
Yes. They claim they use filtered water for everything. We were there for a week drinking frozen drinks and never had any problems.

Yes if you get ice. They use purified water for drinks

What age is considered to be an adult?5 answers
Since this is an Adult Only resort... at what age do you start at to be considered an adult? What age is considered an adult in the Dominican Republic/Punta Cana? I have a 15 year old that I am thinking about bringing on vacation with us.
5 years, 62 months ago
Baby
Breathless is geared for adults only so in fairness to your 15 year old I would go to another resort which would have activities and vacationers closer to her age.
Taloula
To stay at an adults only resort all travelers must be at least 18 years old.
MariaCC
I have a sixteen year old and I would not take him here. It would not be fun form him. This resort is not for teens. The youngest people that I encountered were 21 and over. They have a sister resort called Dream's next door which is a family resort.
magnifico
I would not bring my fifteen year old to this resort. A few topless women on the beach and no carding for liquor that I saw.
dylem
This is not an appropriate place for a 15 year old. The minimum adult age is 18.

I don't think it will be a problem. Upon checking in, simply let them know your preference. The staff there are a pleasure to deal with and will work to accommodate your needs, in my experience.
gATL
While our Reservations Support agents can make the request to the resort on your behalf, requests cannot be guaranteed. The resort will do all it can to accommodate your needs upon arrival, given availability.
To make a request for your reservation, please call one of our Reservations Support agents today at 1.800.915.2322.
SamCC
My suggestion is to email the concierge desk before you book your trip and ask them how to make sure it will happen. You can post your question on their Facebook page and they will answer you to get that email.
Once we book, make your request again through CC and then email the concierge again, with your reservation number.
The kind of sofa we saw in our room was not a sofa bed type. There were three people in the room next to us - a couple and their mother or friend. We were in the Xhale area. I'm sure they all didn't sleep in the same bed. :)

You can just tell them your preference either by calling the customer service for this website, or let the concierge know what you're exactly looking for once you arrive.

7 or 8 and yes they have top shelf liquor
Chisel
they do not unless you upgrade which we did for $600 for 4 days
Russbecky
I believe there are 4 regular bars and 1 available to X-hale club only. I believe 'top shelf' is only available at the X-hale club bar. Many of the bars close around 6/7 pm and so after 7 I think the only 2 bar options are in the main building which was disappointing as we sometimes like to have a drink and take in the ocean view and that was not really an option at Breathless unless we had a drink in our room.

there are bars everywhere. yes,, they do have top shelf but you do need to request it.

Are call drinks (jim beam) included in inclusive or just well drinks? Is there a limit on alcohol included ?6 answers
4 years, 59 months ago
Kansas City, Mo
No limit, all drinks included, the problem is all alcohol is completely watered down.
Gretica
Hello,
Beer and liquor selections are subject to change. You may inquire with the front desk upon arrival regarding their most up-to-date selections.
CoryCC
All drinks are free, and you can get top shelf stuff. I didn't order any whiskeys or bourbons, so I don't know if they import Jim Beam or not. There is no limit on the amount you can drink either.
DreamOn
You can order anything you like, they have a great variety, though the quality is not there. There is no limit. There is only one wine of each that is included (one red, one white and one sparkling) and they are all very bad. If you want other wines, you'll have to pay.
Wanderergirl
They're included at no extra charge. No limits on the alcohol... as verified by the couple who obviously had too much to drink and got in a fight. :-(

I am not sure if they had Jim Beam being that I don't drink that. They did have Jack Daniels and there is no limit on alcohol that is included.

Yes! Me and my boyfriend brought our own gear and went right from the beach, you'll see a big reef near the main swimming area. Saw lots of cool fish and such! No shells there though so we dug up some rocky things

No complimentary ground transportation.
We booked our transport to the hotel from the airport/from hotel back to the airport through Amstar Transportation. We booked it through CC. They can also provide transport to the excursions of your choice. They have a section in the lobby of the hotel that provide information about ALL the excursion transportation you would ever want.
Suggestion: Book your transport through a reputable transport service. I heard about a lady who booked a taxi and she said it was not pleasant.
DaveDee
No they do not offer complimentary transportation.
VaSilky
It would be cheaper if you purchase transfers through cheap Caribbean. The average cab ride is approximately $70. The airport is about 45 minutes away. The hotel does provide transportation in between sister resorts.
There is plenty of entertainment on the resort, you really don't have to leave.
As far as attractions, purchase your excursions through hotel which will include transportation.
Jojogirl
no do not think so

No complimentary transfer. We always use Dominican Airport Transfer and do the private transfer due to location. Takes about 45 minutes.

What is considered casual and casual formal dress?6 answers
4 years, 58 months ago
Steve
Most resorts designate casual formal as having a collar shirt with slacks for the men and a dress for the women. However, all resorts are different and can change their attire requirements at any time. We suggest calling one of our Beach Experts at 1.800.915.2322. for further information.
SamCC
Just dress nice! They will let you in even if you are in shorts!
Tavio
Casual is basically your swimsuit with a shirt flip flops are acceptable
Casual elegance is considered khaki shorts (Bermudas) and a golf polo or nice t shirt. Formal is long pants dress shoes and a collared shirt. Golf polo or long sleeves are acceptable
Lukeb
Anything goes!
Jumbo
Go to the actual breathless resort website and look at each restarant. They tell you there. Here's an example from their website for KIBBEH:
Casual Elegance. Sneakers, tennis shoes or sandals. Dress shirts with short sleeves. Long pants or nice Bermudas required for men. No sleeveless shirts or flip-flops.
OR....
Formal. Long pants, collar shirts and dress shoes for men. Blouses, skirts, slacks or dresses; dress shoes for women.
JPTinKS
Casual - Basically anything. If women have a bathing suit, they want it to be covered with a wrap. Men - Shorts and a tee. No bare feet. They say no sleeveless shirts for men but I wore tank tops every day.
Casual Elegance - For men, anything except for flip flops and you must have a collared shirt. For women, any type of non-bathing suit clothing. They are honestly more strict on the men than the are the women.
Formal - For men, long pants, dress pants, collared shirt and dress shoes. Women - Dress and nice shoes.
DaveDee
Casual, you weren't allowed to wear cutoff shirts but casual formal was nice shorts, nice shirt(polo) shoes(tennis shoes, sandals, ect). To be perfectly honest, they really didn't enforce their dress codes

Yes, the resort will accept USD. If you pay with US Currency, they will typically issue you change in the Dominican Peso. It is highly recommended to use a credit card for major purchases as they convert the pesos to USD for you. But the local vendors will accept cash only in either US or DR currency.
KristenCC
US dollars. And you should know that you need $10 cash to get into the country!

What are resort coupons good for?5 answers
I'm looking the special offers right now and most of them include $200 in Resort Coupons. Is this a legitimate benefit?
4 years, 52 months ago
geegee
"$200 in Resort Coupons for discounts including $100 toward Spa Services, $60 toward Romantic Dinner, and $40 toward Bottles of Wine (see booking documents for details)"
CCGreg
if you use the spa, you can use the coupons
if you want a romantic dinner (extra cost), you can use the coupons
if you gamble, you can use the coupons
we chose none of these
bluegene
no - the resort coupons give you discounts on wine (of course you get free house wine anyways) and dinner on the beach (definitely worth doing with your spouse and that saves $60). Besides that, they are not worth much
bobbo44
I was not impressed with the coupons, they give you a TOTAL of $200 but they are divided into $40 here, $20 there...& can not be combined or used @ the same time.
protege242000
The $200 is legitimate. However, the rules make this benefit hard to get. The $200 is split up into smaller amounts ($10 - $40). Each coupon must be used separately and can't be combined in one visit. For example there are two $40 coupons for the spa. You would have to go twice to get the full $80 value.
The coupons are for bottles of wine at dinner (there is a house wine that is free - other bottles can be purchased like a regular restaurant), the casino, and the spa.

Breathless vs Secrets for quiet, relaxing?6 answers
Last year I stayed at Secrets Royal Beach and loved how calm and quiet it was -- it definitely didn't feel like a major party resort and there were lots of adult/senior couples, couples form Europe, etc. Not a bunch of young kids being obnoxious.
My travel companion is older and we're considering Breathless Punta Cana, but I'm concerned it might be too noisy or full of rude younger people. We want quiet and relaxing over boisterous party atmosphere. Should I stick with Secrets? Or is it possible to find quiet little nooks around the Breathless property?
4 years, 52 months ago
US
Breathless is one of the newest resort in Punta Cana, so it tends to attract more guests, than some of the other resorts, so it can have the tendency to get loud. With that being said there is a quieter and more relaxed pool and section of the resort which is close to the beach. But in the main pool area with music playing and daily activities and foam parties it can get noisy.
Secrets would be a more relaxed vacation for sure. Secrets Resorts are typically couples resorts and are much more low key than Breathless.
KristenCC
by the beach it is quiet
there is a quiet pool area towards the back of the resort
me and my girlfriend (59 & 57) like it quiet and it was ok
also, there are no children
bluegene
I am on my last day here. I am 42. This has been the most relaxing and quiet vacation ever. Get a swim up room and upgrade to exhale members. Worth the money and you are pretty secluded.

Breathless is VERY noisy unless you're in the xhale club, that pool and the beach is more quiet and the rooms are farther from the noise.

I'd recommend reaching out to the resort directly as Cheapcaribbean does not have access to sell spa packages or things similar that are offered directly by the hotel.
CCGreg
and xhale club membership is a great gift - if you request Marcelino or his team to take personally care of them. That will make it unforgettable.
The spa isn't great. Marcelino IS a gift though - will change the nature of the entire stay completely!
BreathlessMarchCustomer
The massages were very nice. I think the couples massage was a few hundred dollars. My sister surprised me with a photo shoot. The pictures came out fantastic!! The price to buy the whole photo disk was about $500.

The spa is a great idea and probably not included. I had a facial and a massage and it was wonderful! I also purchased some of the products they used. I would recommend a $600.00 gift certificate for 2 people, at a minimum. The atmosphere was lovely.

What is the additional cost for the Xhale club at Breathless?5 answers
4 years, 51 months ago
KC
This depends on when you are traveling and when you are booking. Please contact 1-800-915-2322 for further information.
CCGreg
Yes it's about $100.00 a night. Save your money it's not worth it.
Opex
You'll have to pay for most of the wines and premium alcohol in restaurants. They have an ok selection in the bars.
You will also have to pay 19% in taxes if you use the resort coupons.
Finally, you'll have to pay for the Spa, and for all tours. On the beach you have to pay $10 a day for a hobycat, and you have to pay if you want a cabana.
BreathlessMarchCustomer
700 dollars we didn't upgrade no need it was awesome trip
kari46
not sure of the cost but guessing 100-200 per room per night. I don't think it is worth it. the room is no different. You have a separate bar but the bars are not full. The one nice thing is you get a separate breakfast buffet (same food presumably) and service for lunch as opposed to a buffet or the beach grill. Save the money and order room service for lunch (order from the beach using your iphone app and show up in time to eat).

Can u go from the swim up pool from your room to the bar at the pool

No the pools outside the room are not connected to the main pools.

No. The swim up pools are almost like little rivers running along the front of the rooms. You cannot access the main pools from the swim up pools. I liked this, as it stopped all kinds of people from swimming around in front of your room.

While this resort is known for a vibrant day and night life, there is also the ability to relax as well. We recommend requesting a room far away from pool / activity areas for a more quiet experience. For additional advice please call 1-800-915-2322
CCGreg
The resort does have loud music and foam parties at one of three pool. Its kind of a party resort. When you arrive your greeted with "welcome to the party"
caribbeanventure
I would not call it a quiet resort. One of the main pools is quieter than the other, but both play music and games all day. We had lots of fun, but we were not looking for quiet...although I would not have minded steel drums as the music, but it was more party music.
flatcat65
No this resort is party, party all the time, there are a few pools you can escape to for peace & relaxation but for the most part there is something going on all the time

the current & undertow are VERY strong in this area & therefore they do not suggest to go out very deep. It is on the Atlantic ocean & the bottom is very uneven & a little rocky.

The swim-up bars and beach bars do close. You can have drinks at The Palms or Patois restaurants without reservations, open at 6:30.

For questions dealing with food allergies you would have to contact the resort directly to see what accommodations are available.
LizCC
I do not know about the food allergy options. However, I will say that you will have to speak Spanish very well in order to ask the restaurant staff and get a clear answer. I traveled with someone who does not eat pork and every time he asked for a different option for breakfast they didn't understand him and brought him pork anyway. I would call the resort directly and ask. The staff at the front desk speak and understand english very well.

There seems to be a big variety of foods.

Traveled with my boyfriend who cannot eat nuts or coconut and he had no problems - lots of options - I mean lots!!!

There is a really nice buffet where you can find anything you need. and even have some dishes prepared in front of you. I doubt they can alter any dishes in the other restaurants, but you are 100% safe in the Buffet restaurant. It's the nicest buffet I have seen in years. Not like an american buffet.
ChazMel
Take my advice, I have allergies also, soy, lactose and gluten, go to a US resort, these third world countries have no idea what allergies or intolerance is, I finally just ate what was on the buffet because all I got was a blank look every time I asked about these items.

I never saw any vendors on the beach but we actually spent most of our time in the pool so I can't say for sure. The resort does allow vendors to set up on the grounds on Sunday's which isn't bad because it does give you good opportunity to buy souvenirs without going to the hotel shops. The downside is, you can't just look without being pestered. But at least it's only one day.

richardrad
It cost a lot according to the couple we met who did it.. The rooms are bigger and closer to the beach, You can eat at the "steakhouse" but they said the food wasn't worth it, and you have access to a members only clubhouse (empty when we were there). I forget the amount they said but we were shocked by the difference. They said they would not do it again.
ampho
The exhale club is not worth it in my opinion. It is around $300 extra. Supposedly your fridge gets stocked with better drinks but that didn't seem the case when i asked other guests. You have access to another private part of the beach, but we went there on accident and no one said anything. You can eat lunch at one restaurant that the other guests can't. You have a personal butler (I would say that probably is a nice perk). I think you get an upgraded room, but the people we knew that had upgraded said their room smelled of mildew. You can enjoy just as much without it in my opinion.

It is a natural beach and YES, the snorkeling was amazing!! The reef is right out front of the resort. We saw so many beautiful fish, and found some cool souvenirs. You can use the snorkel equipment for $20. We went at least three different times. Very fun. The beach is gorgeous, and the sand feels amazing. It feels like that Kenetic play sand. It is spongey. Feels nice on your feet. You can also walk a good distance in either direction from the resort. The water is so gorgeous it looks fake. You should go!

CCGreg
The cost is about $100/day per person, I think. Contact Cheapcarribean and they can tell you. I would only recommend doing it if all 3 couples do it. We also traveled with 2 other couples and we were the only ones that had xhale and we really weren't able to use it. I would say it would be worth it, but only if all 3 couples have it.

Not sure exactly what the upgrade costs, but there are at least two restaurants that are exhale only.

How to become an Xhale member5 answers
How do you become an Xhale member? what is the extra cost for becoming an Xhale member?

Cleveland, OHIO
To be Xhale Club you must book into a room category that says Xhale Club in the title. The cost will vary depending on dates and what room category you are comparing it to.
CCGreg
We didn't join the Xhale club -- not worth it!
Weas
U have to upgrade to VIP status when u check in at the resort. Fees depend on the room upgrade but you can talk them down alot!!
Jennihitch
They offer it to you as soon as you get there. It starts at $80 a night per person but I met someone who said they got it for $60 a night per person. Your looking at an extra 500 for a week.
shanatim
I think it is just a matter of doing a room upgrade. If you look at the room types, the Exhale rooms are premium rates versus the standard. There is little difference in the actual room, standard pool view versus Exhale Pool view. The difference in price is to cover the upgraded service and amenities of being an Exhale member. The Exhale rooms are together in the same area with access to a lazy river private pool area. But basically mirrors the the same block of standard rooms across from it with an open lazy river pool.
Maximilian
you can upgrade to xhale when you check in, if you decide you want it.

Plenty of transportation option. You can contact the resort directly or book through cheapcaribbean or whoever your provider is. Or there are many private companies. We used Gobecon. It was about $120 roundtrip which is average. Some are around $200 roundtrip.

The best is to sign-up with CheapCaribbean for their round-trip transfers - otherwise around $70.00 cab fare.

Can anyone tell me about the all you can eat lobster dinner on the beach? How do I make reservations (I'm not arriving until Friday)? Cost?4 answers
I would really like to do this but am not sure if there is a way I can book in advance.
3 years, 39 months ago
Michigan
I believe it's $98 for a couple. Ask them when you check in and they will point you to the concierge who can book it for you.
Chambo
Cost for the dinner lobster is $50 per person. You do not need to make reservations in advance as they'll come to you and ask around the day before or the day of the dinner. You can also just make a reservation at the consierge when you arrive. It looked really fun and smelled great but we didn't get to try it.
Enjoy!
Perla
If it is windy or raining I would not recommend this experience. Cost is high but you may have a gift coupon to pay part of it. There is no credit for the included resort dinner that you will not have.
Recommend that you arrange this after you arrive as it would be weather dependent and not refundable and it is exposed on the beach with no cover or wind breaks. No problem reserving it on the day you choose based on favorable weather conditions.

it's only one day a week - I think Friday - but i was not there for it.

Yes, room service will bring anything you'd like, and are fairly quick about it

Trip is about 4 hours long. Def worth spending the day doing it.
Tuesday
We went. If you do it book your excursion online. We paid $150 person through Cheap Caribbean at the hotel/resort. It was not worth that much maybe a little less. The bus ride over was about 50 minutes. The Catamaran took you to a place where you could swim and find starfish that was pretty. The snorkeling is not that great before you get to the Island. Then another 2 hours on the Catamaran. The Island is beautiful, but nothing to do there. The food was horrible. Then you take a 50 minute speed boat back and another 50 minute bus ride back. A lot of traveling and beautiful Island, but nothing to do on the island.
Cloud2124
Yes, highly recommended. One of the highlights of our trip. Safe, Fun, Great large staff, the Lobster lunch included was fantastic, and the island was sensational...definitely do this while you're there!

Yes,we left around 7:30 in the morning got back around 7 pm it was an all day excursion.Beautiful water!!! We took a Catamaran there and a power boat back.They served beer,rum,sodas and snacks on the way there. We ate Lobster,chicken,pork chops,mahi-mahi and all kinds of stuff on the beach, while they served beer,rum and other assorted drinks while you are there at Sanoa Island it is all included.

It depends on if you want to party 24 hours a day or if you want the OPTION to party. The Xhale section is more private so I thought it was worth it. We also had VIP breakfast and lunch seating. Dinner is a free for all though. The liquor is better in the Xhale section as well as the drinks and bartenders seem to be better.

We had the private beach dinner and it was awesome. Steak and Lobster were excellent. The view was breathtaking and the service was also impeccable. It was worth every penny. But the menu was set. So if you don't like Steak and Lobster, then you can try to ask when making reservations but there was not a menu to choose from. We pre-booked the dinner before our trip on their website and it cost us $136. If you wait until you arrive, I believe it is $99 per person and if you have resort coupons, it will drop to $69 per person. Have fun!!

would be fantastic for honeymoon... there is one loud fun DJ pool party per day at 3 pm to 6pm in the main pool, but other than that it is not "overly" partying.. lots of quiet romantic spots.. and our own room balcony had its own jacuzzi tub that we took a bubble bath in. and the beds are incredibly comfortable. (I would imagine in spring break and summer perhaps the resort is more crowded , but end of Feb when I was there was not crowded at all).
TravelingisFun
My wife and I just had our 10 year anniversary at Breathless and had the same concerns before we went. Our trip ended up be fun and romantic...we actually had fun with some of the "parties" or activities throughout the day. At the party pool people were defiantly drinking and having fun, but it was not a gross spring break situation. There was plenty of privacy and quiet places throughout the resort when we wanted to get away.

How much to upgrade
to Xhale?

If you need any help booking, please call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.
TimCC
It depends - you can usually negotiate with the front desk guys, we got it for $80 off per night for 4 nights because it was my birthday.
missamyday
we were given prices ranging from $165 per night for an ocean view.....to $199/nt for ocean front. That was at check in.
cindymat
The upgrades depend on what they are trying to sell that day. We were offered the presidential suite for an additional 1500 for 7 nights. Then we were offered a different place for 560 for 7 nights. Finally we were offered a swim up, as that is what we had booked originally, for an additional 500 for 7 nights. We went to see both rooms (ours and the xhale upgrade) and decided we actually liked our original room better. The only things you get for xhale are a certain place to check in, which was a breeze at the main lobby; a special room to eat in at breakfast...but at the same buffet as everyone else..or I think they had a small restaurant as well, but the buffet is huge and pretty good; a special restaurant for dinner and a roped off place at the beach which anyone could probably walk in to if they really wanted to. We were quite happy with our non xhale choice.

It's different for everybody. Some people we met received upgraded rooms without asking, or if they asked, without paying. Some people paid up to $200 per night. The beach amenities are accessible to all, as is the club.

How big is the beach?5 answers
I'm torn between Breathless and Secrets. The Cheap Caribbean rep that I spoke with stated Breathless was a bigger resort, so bigger beach...Secrets was smaller resort, so smaller beach... I'm wondering if I choose Breathless will my husband and I be able to walk down the beach and find a secluded spot on the beach away from everyone or is every inch of the beach pretty much packed? I'm okay with a big resort and big crowd but it's kind of hard to have a romantic vacation if the only time will we not be surrounded by people is when we are in our room. I really like that Secrets offers a private beach if you upgrade but I'm leaning more towards Breathless.

Prob 400 yards across plus miles

the beach is huge and you can walk forever, past many resorts. But its pretty populated. I dont think you are going to find any secluded spots.

Chicago
Here is a handy guide to all the dress code terms.
https://www.cheapcaribbean.com/articles/article.html?articleId=147
JeannieCC
They say there's dress codes, but there's not. I saw people dressed formal, casual, hats, hoodies ... anything goes it seemed.
Allig
Nice shorts/Pants with polo or button down short or long sleeve shirt. They are not fashion police though, anything respectable would be fine.
Jim48
Sun dress for the ladies and dress shorts and collar shirt for the men
Kentucky01
Casual Elegance is nice shorts or pants for men and sandals or shoes and no sleeveless t shirts. You do not have to be very fancy just no tank tops or bathing suits in the restaurants in the evening.

yes, I saw some blue pool floats, also the pools had "built-in" chaise lounges so that you can lay in the shallow water. The pools are very well maintained and very large.

Yes. People get out early and reserve them. But there seemed to be many available all day long.

Excursions?3 answers
Do the excursions cost more money to book through the resort? I plan on booking a few but wondering if I decide to book any additional ones when I get there if it's going to cost way more than had I just booked it through CC to begin with.

Yes i found out they charge an international fee if you buy them at the resort.
We usually just book them through C.C. also

Book only via website or agent. It's much more expensive

Is there transportation to and from the airport5 answers
2 years, 27 months ago
Mike
This is not something that is included in the price, however it can be added on for an additional cost either at the time of booking or up until 48hours prior to travel on an existing reservation.
JeannieCC
There are a few options you have. A shuttle bus which is the inexpensive route but I'm sure is the longest. I strongly suggest a taxi because it is a 45min ride from the airport to the breathless resort
Niceguy201
yes you buy it when you make your reservations
Angelabrahma
My husband said that there was transportation from the hotel itself, but I had already booked Amstar. it was pretty reasonable for a van of 1-6. We had the van all to ourselves both ways. heads up..this hotel is about 40 minutes away from the airport. I suggest you contact the hotel itself to see about their transportation if you are interested. We found that the staff who need to interact with the public spoke English pretty well. Have fun!
rocky627
Through Cheap Caribbean - yes! Very easy. Just go right to your transportation and do NOT stop at the booths. That is where we were tricked into giving 20$ for an excursion deposit, that we never got back!

Vegan Options?5 answers
Are there many dining options for vegans? I stayed at the Secrets resort in Jamaica and I ended up having to eat more vegetarian options rather than strictly vegan.

If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.

What is the ocean water like? Is it light blue and clear?5 answers
Can you walk out a bit before it gets deep?

Marty
Yes. You can walk about 35 yards before it's too deep.
Kdyoung
The water is blue and clear, and you can walk out a little bit for it gets too deep.
JeannieCC
The water was very warm, clear and blue. One end of the beach I could walk in to my shoulders (I'm 6'4) and still see my feet. The other side had coral reef so you couldn't walk out as far, but you could snorkel with the free gear they had and see cool ocean life. The sand was soft and white as well.
Ab18
Yes to both
Ann26
Directly connected to the resort, it was not blue and clear. There was a lot of brown seaweed but they continuously try to keep it clean. You can walk out maybe 10 to 15ft before it gets deep

No need to rent a car. Shuttle will pick you up and drop you off

Dominican Plus Transfer has always been great for us.
Bammer1968
There is a shuttle available at an additional cost, this can be added at the time of booking or up until 48 hours prior to travel on an existing reservation by calling in to 800-915-2322. Renting a car is an option but not required, this can be done at the airport.
JeannieCC
Before we checked out with Cheap Caribbean there was an option to pay for a bus/shuttle to get to the resort. It was totally worth it, but I can't remember the exact price- I want to say around 10-20 USD, but it was nice to not have to worry about it once we got there. Cheap Caribbean also mentioned the bus/shuttle in subsequent emails, so if you haven't bought it you still can.

Book the shuttle on the website. A taxi costs $70 - 80 for two people

Distilled water is readily available on the Island.

Dasani water is provided in the rooms and throughout the resort

All water served to guests is bottled water shipped in. All ice is made with bottled water. They also serve Dasani bottled water. I brushed my teeth with the Dasani bottled water just to be safe. Tap water is fine to bathe in, just do not drink it. I did not get sick at all after being there for 8 days.

Weather in December/January5 answers
I am considering a trip in either mid December or early-mid January. How is the weather during these times? Windy or rainy?
Is the ocean still warm and somewhat calm here? We would like to snorkel and do other activities in the ocean.

The average temperatures and precipitation are below. As for wind levels and the ocean, this can vary from day-to-day. It does not tend to be any more or less windy than any other time of year, and as for the ocean, this would be the same thing.
December average high: 82°F average low: 72°F average precipitation: 3.1 in.
January average high: 81°F average low: 71°F average precipitation: 2.6 in.

I just returned 12-12-17 and the weather was great, very warm no rain gets a little windy at times though. Ocean great for water activities
Zion12
Hi!
I am here right now in breathless as a guest. It is mid january.
Not a place to snorkel. The ocean is a bit rough for most people probably but because we are on the Atlantic side, the ocean isn’t as clear as well. There is no Cora reef here to there is no sea life visible . You want to go to the Caribbean side of the island !!! This is where they filmed “pirates of the carribean” . The water is calmer, more reef and more sea life.
The weather is great. It may rain for a hour at most and then it stops. It’s tropical weather so it’s usually humid and sunny. Rain is no problem here really! Hope this is helpful!
I just left a review for the resort, my name is Salena. I am 24years old. Look for my review. I would honestly give this resort a 2/5 over all.
Salena
I just got back a week ago - traveled in mid-Jan. Weather was great. Hot, humid, and yes a bit windy, but nothing crazy. Rained a couple of times, but like 15 minutes per day, and then the rest of the day was fine. I highly recommend taking a vacation like this at the beginning of the year (mid-Jan) - great way to start the new year!
Luliezeo
I have been to Punta Cana in December before. The weather is usually pleasant and the water is most usually warm. Hard to say for sure that God won't change His mind.
The Caribbean sea is usually calm, the Atlantic not always.

The Dominican Republic continues to grow as a major tourist destination due to its beautiful beaches, rich culture, and abundance of available activities.
Imagine: the water you are standing is so blue, you can't quite believe it's real. Then, as you pad across the soft sugar sand on the way to your hot stone massage you are besieged with passing winks and adoring whispers from attractive, beguiling strangers - who aren't creepy. You like them. After your spa treatment, you savor the blessings of Latin Criollo gourmet cuisine, then look at your watch, and smile: it's only six more hours until the foam party.
