Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa

This was the first vacation we had in 10 years and it was well worth it. We stayed in the xhale club pay off the resort which I thought was worth it. It was more peaceful and the views were amazing. The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The two bartenders in the xhale bar Gerson and Levi were awesome to take to and never let your drink go empty. At the pool, Urbano, the waiter, was just as efficient at making sure you always had a drink. The spa was beautiful and the hydrotherapy was so relaxing thanks to Alexa. Overall we had an amazing time and can't wait to go back for sure.

We stayed in room 2194 which was an Xhale club beachfront room. I enjoyed the extras that Xhale provided although my wife wasn’t sure it was worth the extra cash. The room had three separate areas - bedroom, living/dining room and the bathroom. All separated by heavy duty roller doors so if one of you wanted to go to bed earlier the other could be in the other room and not disturb. Also a second toilet/shower room off the living room. Jacuzzi bath indoors and private veranda area with another jacuzzi bath. I love a jacuzzi and used the indoor one daily (sometimes twice!) and the outdoor one a couple of times during the stay. The restaurants were good and we mainly ate in the Xhale breakfast area (allows for table service as well as the buffet), Xhale lunch area (we mainly had table service with lovely beach views) and then at dinner we moved round the restaurants. The French restaurant was my favourite. The entertainment at night was decent and varied - the shows from the entertainment team were lively and good to watch. We had a couple of bigger nights out and having the casino and club added to these nights out. We also enjoyed walking to the neighbouring resort which had a sports bar with pool table and also during the day the flumes and lazy river were also good. The extra restaurants to choose from gave even more variety. We like Mexican food and enjoyed a couple of meals in that restaurant. Day trips on the island were memorable - monkey park, jungle buggies and zipline park all great. Luis, our butler, was very helpful answering questions and he sorted us out with a beach cabana for a day instead of some other extras that we weren’t bothered about getting. All in all, would definitely recommend Breathless for a relaxing, fun and lively holiday with plenty of variety.
