We had a great time at Breathless Punta Cana! The food was amazing: from the salad bar with seafood to the desserts with endless options. The buffet usually had most of the specialty restaurants' dishes available. So it was super convenient!
We stood on the Xhale side, room 4148, it was very spacious, but somewhat bare. Low key felt like we were in a hospital. Never really used the "swim-out" pool, but the proximity to the beach was prime. Xhale came with a free beach bag and access to a top-shelf liqour lounge.
The property is beautiful, but the grass was a bit dry here and there. Very clean, and the lit incense near pathways really creates a relaxing atmosphere. We had fun feeding the fush and the turtles in the ponds.
The Rock and the Fire shows with outside-performers were amazing. However, the house e-team often looked tired and/or annoyed. Every time they did a Breathless dance before each show/game, the girls especially looked like they hated their job and didn't wanna be there. I'm not the one to tell anyone to smile, but in this case - it is literally in ur job description: u r the e-team, u r here for the guests' entertainment. Smile.
The beach was amazing - we walked it for miles. The vendors will give u a better deal if u offer them Coca-cola and/or American candy.
Negative: our floaties left by the pool were stolen. We were late to pick them up one day, & they went missing. Our concierge Kelly was unable to track them down.
Still 10/10 vacation, would recommend.
