Breathless Riviera Resort & Spa | An Honest Review



Breathless Riviera Resort and Spa is located in Riviera Maya about 20-30 minutes from the Cancun Airport. We stayed from June 26-29th 2022 and upgraded to the Xhale Club. This all inclusive resort has a definite party vibe and checks off a lot of the boxes that we love about a resort but had 2 main issues that would cause us not to return. #breathlessrivieraresortandspa #allinclusive #cancunmexico

The first was the beach. The sargassum was very bad when we were there and we were not able to spend our time in the ocean. Although the beach itself is very clean and you could sit and enjoy the white sand. The pools were large but the water was very warm. I had to cool off in the beach shower to get relief from the heat. Definitely watch the whole video as we go into detail about each category so you can make your own decision if this is the right resort for you!

  1. Hello! How strict were the dress codes for the formal restaurants? Long pants for men means slacks? Or are long jeans fine? And for women, short dresses okay? Going in 10 days!

  2. Booked here in November with girlfriends, is there an area to escape the crazy partying if we want to ? We like to lay on the beach – can we soak up the sun ? We want to party but not sure we’re up for all that craziness – making me alitlle nervous. Been to many secrets but this is my first breathless. And was trying to decide between here and soul cancun. Any input ?

    Reply
  3. Is this resort okay for friends or is it more of a couples resort? Looking for a resort with the nightlife but hoping to meet like minded people on our stay and enjoy the resort meeting new people!

  5. Great review. I have been to this resort 8 times. Always Xhale. So bad to see they have downgraded many perks they used to feature
    1. Martini bar used to include belvedere not smirnoff
    2. Hydrotherapy was complimentary every day not once per stay
    3. Their top vodka was Belvedere and/or grey goose at Xhale club and some times at some bars
    4. They used to hand out a yellow ticket to obtain a complimentary Veuve Cliquot champagne bottle at the Xcelerate pool!
    5. All xhale suites (excluding swim out rooms) featured a jacuzzi tub in the bamcony
    6. Xhale used to have a quiet pool access
    Thanks to this review I will not be going back

  6. Secrets is def your speed.a little more relaxed and the service and luxury is their signiture.. try Secrets Royal Beach Dom Rep. A group of us couples went there in August 2021

  7. My husband and I are in our 70's but still enjoy having a great time. This resort may be a little much for us because of the partying. Can you recommend a Secrets Resort that you think would be good for us. Thanks in advance. We went to Secrets Montego Bay in April of this year and loved it.

  8. I went to Secrets Akumal with my husband for my birthday last year and the beach was gorgeous! beautiful resort. Its about an hour away from the airport thought. I will be here for a conference on Monday I am staying at both Secrets and Breathless Riviera Maya. Great review, thank you so much.

  9. Great video. We go to Cancun every year and are struggling to find a perfect fit. Breathless looks like it turns the party up to 10, we are looking for more of a 7.5.

  10. I’ll be visiting breathless for the first time next month, and this review is super helpful in knowing what to expect, so thanks for this review! Very thorough, detailed, and helpful! I searched forever for a resort that was fun and upbeat, but not too crazy. Couldn’t find it, so Breathless was the next best option in my search lol 😅 I guess we’ll see how it goes. Thanks again!

  11. we have been to secrets maroma beach, akumel, playa mujeres……. and another I am drawing a blank. Secrets are the bomb. I am scared to try another resort after the experiences we have had. We stayed a rui and it was NOTHING like secrets.

    Reply
  12. If you didn’t ‘nitpick’ how would you let us know any key factors that we, your viewers, might appreciate knowing? I feel like you are very fair in your reviews in saying that something may not be an issue for some, but personally just wasn’t for you. This is a vacation channel—I am thrilled you give all the tips and possible negatives. Thanks for doing this!

  13. Thank you so much for your in-depth review. So helpful. Wish we had found you before we booked but we will go in with a positive attitude! What I'd like to know is the exact excursion you took to Cozumel. What company, what it offered, cost and any other info you can provide. We really want one day of better swimming water!!! Please help❤️

  14. Good review exactly what we experienced. Upgrading to exhale not worth it!! Same alcohol in exhale club as throughout the hotel. And the website did say we had access to secrets. Yet we were told NO when we got to the hotel. The staff and entertainment group was the best thing. I’ve stayed at a breathless Punta Cana, and was allowed, full access on at the other hotel next-door dreams.
