Most service was outstanding. Especially pool and Spa. Housekeeping was poor. Food was spotty. Resort is beautiful. Well maintained and safe
This resort is definitely a party place, but there's areas where if you just want to relax and not party too much on a particular day you're there, they have places for that, too. This resort is super clean with a very friendly and accommodating staff. There's lots of activities to keep you busy if you so choose.
We were a group of 8 and we all agree that the food at the resort was our only disappointment. It lacked flavor, spice, a little zing, and just overall the taste wasn't there! Our soup at the hibachi was the most flavorful dish we were served, and we dined at all the restaurants. When you sit down to dine and enjoy a meal, you should not have to reach for black pepper and, unfortunately, we did just that time and time again. Desserts were good, but nothing that left a memorable impression.

Is there a topless pool or beach area?11 answers

Sacramento Ca
This is a new resort that has yet to open. If you have any questions regarding a topless beach, please contact the resort directly.
TimCC
None at this resort.
DiamondDentist
No, I did not hear of any such offering. This is a top quality company and they would probably not risk alienating American families by offering this feature. I personally would not be offended but would not bring my daughter to a topless beach.

Directly from CheapCaribbean:
BEACHES AND POOLS
This swingin' joint is nestled on glistening white sands between the Caribbean Sea and the Lagoon of Bahia Petempich. If you tire of the sand, (as if you could ever be), check out one of the resort's three happenin' pools. Topless sunbathing is permitted at the activity pool. Oooo la la.
POOLS
Take a dip in one of the resort's 3 pools, including a party pool, main social pool and a private pool for Xhale Club guests. Bar service available at the pools. And, topless sunbathing is permitted at the activity pool.

You have to have shoes, shirts and tops to eat in the restaurants. Is that what you are asking? I don't think your required to have a swimsuit to go the beach or pool but could be wrong.

While the amenities received may differ, the resort staff will treat all guests the same.
SalCC
Yes, rooms seem nicer, we had a Jacuzzi on balcony. You also get access to the Spa Sauna's and the Mediterranean restaurant, "Kibbeh"
borirena
Not a lot of difference. The main difference is it's much quitter at the xhale pool and xhale has and air conditioned bar. It also has another restaurant and bar by the pool no one else can use.
Forrest123
We srayed at Allure and we thought it was great. I wouldn't recommend unless you want a quieter place. More away from the the parties.

How is the beach at this resort?? Is the seaweed still a problem?5 answers
We are wanting to book a trip in September 2016 and would love to check out this new resort. I do have concerns about the seaweed. Last year we stayed at El Derado in July 2015 and the seaweed was so bad we never even got to enjoy the beach or clear blue water. Before booking this year I wanted to ask about the beach here at Breathless to see how it is. Please update me when possible.
Thank you!

Beach conditions5 answers
Will sand be brought in? Review of other resorts near say the beach is unswimable due to extreme rockiness. Went to Secrets PM last August and while resort was beautiful the beach and ocean in that location was not. What can we expect at Breathless beach?
3 years, 47 months ago

Not sure about the sand importing, however the resort next door (Excellence Riviera Cancun) has a great wide beach with fine, silky sand. Does not contain too many rocks and is very swimmable.
CCGreg
Yes it is to rocky. Better beaches out there. My peeve as well. I am a beach chick too.
newchick111
We went out in the ocean off of our resort, it had some rocks but was not terrible and definitely could get passed it..... However there was a lot of seaweed
Kate83
The water was beautiful and clear, the white sand was very soft and cooler than I expected. They cleaned the beach daily for the sea weed and debris

The beach there was perfect according to management they don't lay sand

I wasn't impressed with the beach at Breathless Riviera Cancun. Beach is very small (and a manmade beach). Water was not clear. I didn't go the beach at all! Stayed at the pools all the time.
twaingirl
It is a nude beach in front of desire.I went to there for a better beach. Karisma azul is next north and has a good beach too. That is what I did.
newchick111
I went into the water. There is a 10-15 foot band of sharp rocks a few feet out in the water. Once you carefully walk past these rocks, the sand is nice.
SpinachChin
The water was nice. There were some rocks and seaweed but the resort did a good job of cleaning up the seaweed and they showed us where there were no rocks. You could see to the bottom, the water was very clear.

upgraded mini bar
upgraded room service menu
pool just for those that upgrade. It is the only quite place on the resort
Forrest123
Quiet rooms (no loud dance parties at pools near your room!) Quiet pool only for people staying in Xhale rooms. By quiet pool, I mean there is no loud music playing or possible rowdy drunk people...lol! The quiet pool DOES NOT have a swim up bar, but there are waiters/waitresses constantly checking on you at the pool to bring you drinks--very nice!! You also have access to outdoor restaurant (Kibbeh). Kibbeh has a lunch menu and is right next to the quiet pool. You just need to wear a coverup over your swimsuit for lunch.
twaingirl
Nothing except not being able to eat breakfast there. The lunch menu is very limited. Anyone staying at the resort can use this pool. Don't bother paying extra for a swim-out room. No one uses them, and most are in the shade.
ConBon
The Mediterranean restaurant Kibeh is for Xhale members only, it offers a delicious sit down breakfast if you want to avoid the buffet rush in the morning. Lunch and dinner are amazing here as well and you have the ocean and the amazing Xhale pool as your view while you dine. The hydrotherapy treatment at the spa (about $125 per person value) is included with your Xhale room as well. Amazing, do not miss out on this!! And of course you have your own private lobby with bartender and full liquor options.

what is required to wear for casual/casual elegance and formal, at Breathless Rivera Cancun?5 answers
3 years, 43 months ago

They are more strict with the men when it comes to the dress code. Unfortunately pants and a collar shirt is required to dine at some of their restaurants. However you should consider another resort. The music is very annoying
MichaelG
We have a great chart outlining some guidelines for this here: https://www.cheapcaribbean.com/articles/article.html?articleId=147

Men casual is shorts and sneakers
Men casual formal is long pants
Lisav124
Collared shirt, pants, shoes for men
dress, skirt, pants, nice top for women

Some of the restaurants require men to wear long pants and no flip flops. We didn't pack appropriate clothing so we couldn't go there.

STLtraveler
Yes they do
TraceKisses
Yes, but this is not a family resort so this would not be the place to get married if you are inviting children. I'm not sure that they even do weddings there. This is a party resort.

Pants shoes and shirt. No swim wear and flip flops. However the buffet is open 24 hours with any attire
Malann
It's on their site: "Casual Elegance - Sneakers, tennis shoes or sandals. Dress shirts with short sleeves. No sleeveless shirts or flip-flops."
The only resturant that's formal is Coquette, which says "Formal. Long pants, collar shirts and dress shoes for men. Blouses, skirts, slacks or dresses; dress shoes for women."
goddessnike13
people are actually dressed nice for dinner , I over packed and was glad that I did, there where some in shorts and nice shirts, but suggest nice clothes for dining
blacksheep
My experience was that the dress code is SUPER loose. At the fanciest restaurant we saw them let people in with tshirts and jeans. I think jeans and a nice button down work for most, bring a pair of khakis and you're good for anything else. For women, pretty much anything that isn't a bathing suit is ok.

Yes, it's glass.
TwinCities
Yes, but there is a curtain you can pull
FunintheSun74
Yes but you do have a curtain if you like to block it off
Michael11228
Yes. The showers are in the middle of the room. There is a curtain to block it from the bedroom but if anyone wants to go in the bathroom they see everything going on in the shower.

They have floats
SandiB
They have a limited supply and yes you can bring your own.
Regez
Resort provides pool floats.
RachelR
We saw some floats in the first pool (the xhale club pool) but they appeared to be provided, not brought in! They were those blue pool floats, not blow-up floats. I think they would be ok with it! The resort is all about fun and providing anything you need/want to get to having fun!

What does ROH actually mean/ get you?5 answers

stick
ROH stands for Run of House. It essentially means whatever room is available when you arrive is the room you will receive. It typically will mean a base/lead in room category.
CCGreg
RUN OF HOUSE IS A TROPICAL VIEW ROOM BUT WE ASKED FOR UPGRADE AND THEY GAVE US AN EXCELERATE OCEAN-VIEW SUITE ON THE 3RD FLOOR AND WE WERE VERY PLEASED THE EXCELERATE ROOM IS OVERLOOKING THE PARTY POOL LOUD MUISC UNTIL AROUND 6PM OR 11PM ON WEEKENDS THE PICTURE BELOW IS OUR UPGRADED ROOM THAT WE GOT FOR FREE BASED ON AVAILABILITY. JUST ASK POLITELY AND THEY WILL HELP OUT THERE ARE 526 ROOMS I BELIEVE AT THIS RESORT SO YOUR CHANCES ARE GOOD FOR AN UPGRADE
RIXTER
It got us one of the best available rooms.
CTMG
ROH means Run of the Hotel......meaning a room based on what is available.
r0semary
Standard room. Nothing different than what's offered to anyone else. You can always upgrade if your not happy

2 pools for "regular guests" 1 pool only for VIP guests
Macgyver
NO THERE IS AN EXCELERATE POOL (PARTY POOL WITH DJ IN THE AFTERNOON TILL 6PM) AND A CHILL OUT POOL WITH ACTIVITIES LIKE VOLLEYBALL IN THE POOL YOU CAN USE EITHER POOL. THE 3RD POOL IS FOR EXHALE MEMBERS ONLY SO YOU MUST BOOK AN EXHALE ROOM TO GO TO THAT POOL BUT IT IS THE QUIET POOL AND NOTHING GOING ON THERE
RIXTER
There are two pools available one is a party pool in the other pool is a little bit more quiet. There is a third pool but that is for the club members and it's completely quiet. If you're going to breathless you're most likely going for the party anyway so we never even cared to be at that third pool.
Nicsat
The only pool you can not use the Exhale pool you have to upgrade to this. Not worth the money.

They had a variety of top shelf liquors. However depending on the crowd and bar it seemed like not all were stocked equally.

TimCC
All Top Self Booze! Don’t see what you want on display, ask for it.
MJC007
Grey Goose, Belvedere, Crown, Johnnie Walker, Don Julio, etc. You can get top shelf if you ask for it. I thought the liquor was a bit watered down though
MidTNG8r
Yes, but you have to ask. Not sure what is actually in the bottle however, but top shelf labels.

You get a room on the quiet side of the resort. You also get access to the Xhale pool, Xhale bar that has top shelf liquors, and the Mediterranean restaurant Kibbeh. You also get hydrotherapy services in the spa every day if you wish (sauna, steam room, cold tub, hot tub). It was $50/nt for us to upgrade and it was well worth it we thought.
DanielleD
We originally booked the Allure side and arrived at the resort at 4pm. When we got to our room the music from the "Energy" pool was so loud our room was shaking. We went down to front desk to ask if this was normal and how long to expect it. Never really got a good answer. They offered us an upgrade to Xhale side for $50/night, which we took to be safe. Much quieter on that side plus you get access to an extra pool, the Mediterranean restaurant and a premium bar (along with a few other minor things). We were happy with our decision, although spent much of our time back down at the Allure side (on the beach to have some music). It's VERY quiet on the Xhale side, in fact we were "scolded" in the hot tub for having conversation too loud. BTW, the music on the Allure side is turned down at 6p and is only a true party a few days each week. if we had been told that, probably would have stayed over there!
MidTNG8r
It gets to access to a private lounge and private pool area. The pool is key. The "fun" side is loud and more appropriate for the younger crowd. The private side is for those who just want to relax. You can go to both if you upgrade so you won't be missing anything.
