Small Beach, Loud Pools, Great Staff and Restaurants

Mary K on Jan 10, 2026

Not very easy to walk the beach. Rocks, seaweed (which they do a VERY good job raking and removing every day and many times a day!). You couldn't walk either way very far. I didn't feel comfortable swimming in the area in front of the resort whatsoever. Two pools, both very noisy. One should be chill and the other loud and crazy. Wood smoke from the pizza bar by the beach usually wafted over the pool area and was not very desirable (like a constant campfire all day long but the pizza was amazing!). Moved to the beach due to the smoke and loud music for most of our stay. Abishair was an awesome server around the pool and beach. She was very attentive and paid close attention to her customers with a friendly smile. Manuel at the buffet was great as well. Strange that the buffet is closed at night and surprised that the other restaurants can handle the capacity. We were always there when each restaurant opened and never had an issue waiting for a table but heard that the later you go for dinner, the longer the wait. Overall, OK stay but will not be back, sorry!

NYE W/DJ DAAM

BobbyGodsey (Austin, Texas) on Jan 10, 2026

Thank you Breathless for bringing in a top DJ for the NYE party. DJ Daam was brilliant and kept everyone on the dance floor. The fireworks were amazing and dancing 2025 away under the stars was spectacular. The staff everywhere at Breathless Riviera were so friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding at the breakfast buffet and the French/Italian/silkcity sushi. The entertainment at the pool parties and on New Year’s was so fun and energy was great everywhere. We loved the guest dj at the pool party on NYE also. The nighttime themes/entertainment/ and nightclub keep the fun going as long as you want. Don’t forget to go to the Nook (24 hour coffee shop) for late night ice-cream/cookies/panini‘s. Thanks for starting 2026 off right @breathlessriviera. Outstanding staff: Valerie/Ramirez/Omar/Wilberth/Esther/xavier/Fernando/Cesar/Ricardo/Lusein/all the hostesses at the restaurants/Greg/Luis/ everyone made our experience better!

Breathless Exceeds Expecatikns!

Shane O (Palmas Del Mar, Puerto Rico) on Jan 10, 2026

This resort goes above and beyond with service cleanliness activities and food/drink. Have been to at least 30 all inclusive as and hands down the best. I would say that this is a place to come for great experience and a good time. If you want quiet couples hangout not your best choice I would go the secrets next door and come over to breathless when you want to have some fun. Had my wife and 3 college girls and we loved every minute of it. Such a fun but safe atmosphere.

Over priced under value

valentinob89 (Windsor, Canada) on Jan 10, 2026

This resort ranks a 4 not a 3...but the beach is what kills the score. My wife and I came here to celebrate New Year...I will break this down fairly...the Hotel itself...smaller nicely laid out 8 out of 10...buffet decent 7 out of 10...a la cartes decent 7 out of 10...Japanese was good at 8 out of ten but I am a bit pissed at the up charge of $50 usf each to get a table....coffee was gross in the room 3 out of 10...room itself nice 7 out of 10...staff...awesome 9 out of 10....pools...on average 7 out of 10 ... Spa...very expensive but good 6 out of 10
