Back here in August 2024 revisiting reviews for a potential upcoming vacay
Every single video I watch of yours, you get better at talking to the camera, better edits, better locations! Love this channel!
Agreed with most of the review but for a couple of points that made me think that it may come down to which room you get. Firstly was the wifi. We found it to be the best we've ever experienced. The speed was incredible and we could stream easily. Second was the room. We quite enjoyed the decor and our TV was much larger than yours. I do agree that the furniture should be replaced/upgraded and the dampness was an issue. The bed was insanely comfortable!
But again. Overall your review was spot on!
So true about your review. We love the nice beach here compared to other resorts but only the room is bother us.
Just watching this as I wait to board my flight to Breathless from Nova Scotia. Thanks for the great info!
Stood there in 2019 and sheesh we partied the whole week!!! The crowd was young and that foam pool party was second to none... love the reviews man God bless
Great experience video and review. I enjoyed it and it was fun to watch.
I was really worried you were going to hate this property 😃
We are booked here with friends for the end of April and I'm glad to see your opinion lines up with most I have seen. Overwhelmingly positive. I think we got a much better price going at the end of April, because I didn't feel it was expensive versus other similar resorts.
Hi popeboy, how was it? I'm thinking end of April coming up. Was the weather nice?
so proud of you for hitting 20k subscribers!!!
Congrats on 20k! Thanks for your in-depth review.
Thanks James. Its great to get an honest review of the experience at a resort. It would be nice to see you review resort in Bali. My wife and I do a lot of vacationing and had an amazing 2 week trip through Bali. The island has so many amazing resorts with varying price ranges. Look forward to see were you go next.
Thanks for this. I’ve been wanting to travel to somewhere outside of Cabo, Cancun….Mexico and because of this video, I think I’ll just stop k to Mexico. Just came back from majestic elegance costa mujeres. Plunge pool suite….the BEST time ever!
I loved this hotel when I went a few months after it opened. My room was ground floor swim up with the party pool straight ahead. Upgraded for free. The party pool actually had a foam party going when we arrived for St.Patrick’s Day and it was a blast. Foam party every day. The room was gorgeous and clean. Food definitely wasn’t good but when everything else checked the boxes I don’t care if the food is good and I got a deal since it was new working out it’s kinks. Met great people and enjoyed the bed with the deck on top at the beach on the exhale side they had. My friend and I got to kite surf for free cause he said we were pretty lol. Hot tubs were always hot. Regular pool was gorgeous. Drinks were yummy. I brought cards against humanity game and had fun with guests playing. It’s only resort we thought about returning to but my guess is it won’t live up to the first trip. I have my eye on Riu Republica to party and then La Catalonia La Romana to relax.
We loved Breathless!!!! Just returned early March
Just returned from Breathless today. Your review is mostly bang on. I would argue that Culinaria is the second best restaurant but maybe you didn't eat there. But your negatives are 100% correct. If you require internet in your room then go somewhere else. It is virtually non-existent in the rooms. Wifi was better at the Xhale Club because it is apparently supplied by an outside company so an additional reason to upgrade. The rooms are showing their age for sure but functionally they are nice. The other big negative for me was the lack of chairs everywhere. Forget about a seat at the beach or the pool if you don't get there well before 6am. Very frustrating and easily fixable. Lastly, as an FYI, the buffet at Dreams Onyx is much better than Breathless so it might be the only reason to hop over there. Cheers!.
How was the food there overall?
Just returned today from Breathless Punta Cana, your review is spot on, don't be disappointed you did not get the Ribeye , it's mediocre as well, we also selected XHALE, our room really nice. The musty smell is still noticeable. French Restaurant is the best by far Keep up the great reviews
Great video. I love RIU properties. Breathless is usually $800 to $1000 more than RIU. I’ll keep my extra cash and stay at a RIU lol
Have you stayed at RIU Republica? If so what do you think of it?
@@Jiggy609 it is amazing!! I went two weeks ago
@@mindytran2211 nice!! I ended up booking Royalton Chic for my birthday in December!
I’m at breathless now. After the 3rd day you learn your way around. 1st two days your overwhelmed by people trying to take your money and sell you stuff. Once you can get passed being nice to people and saying no you’ll have a good time. My wife and I are are in our mid 30’s and this place had both the young and older crowd which is cool with me. We tend to get along with the older crowd more than the college kids. So that’s fine.
The beach is nice with friendly workers and beach goers. If you can get past the seaweed you’ll be fine. It is actually a ecology thing so they take care of it on the beach.
The restaurants tend to get very crowded at evening time so get there quick If you want to eat quick. If you get there at 6:30-8 you’ll be waiting. Yes menus don’t have that much selection. But it’s a all inclusive. They aren’t going to wine and dine you till no end. Let’s be real here. The pools are cool. Not much in the aspect of crazy slides or thrill seeking. They have volleyball nets. It’s really just a place for relaxation. But be prepared to spend your nights in a room that is literally a cave. You hear everything going on in the hall ways. Example: cleaning staff, drunk people waking you up at 2am. If you’re into beer there is only presidente beer. Mixed drinks are endless. This is my first time to Punta Cana. First real vacation spot was Hawaii so there’s no comparison. I really like that everyone is nice. There’s no fights over stupid stuff. Everyone is friendly. If you don’t know Spanish (I don’t). There definitely is a language barrier. But once you get to learn that they try their hardest to speak English you get past that. For people coming here for the first time I say don’t be the victim of the people trying to sell you everything for crazy crazy amounts of money on the beach. Even the 100$ voucher that is offered by what you think is part of your hotel stay. It isn’t. You’re not entitled to it unless you sit through their presentation. You have to sit through a 1 hour or so ordeal of hotel people trying to sell you a vacation package. If I can do it again I would listen closely to their very fast Spanish speaking salesman just trying to make commission on a sale and take it with a grain of salt. Don’t be a victim unless you really are into the packages. Once you get past all the bs your vacation will begin. Enjoy!
JUST came back from Breathless & I agree with a good bit of this.
The biggest thing I can agree on is the food. The Breathless Burger is definitely mediocre compared to the Ribeye. The Ribeye was so good, that we went back on our last night just to have it again. Also, if you go back, definitely catch the nighttime pool party. I think you'll enjoy it more than the other nighttime events.
You saved me money from booking Exhale. I'm now doing just doing the value driven Allure amongst my party group.
Love these videos, can't wait for you to get back to Vegas!
To Vegas ??? Nahh
Very lively hotel and very different than the others
I was there this month and yes, we had some issues with the rooms, we were a big group and all our rooms were humid, wifi was horrible, food was average and drinks not the best. I liked the pool and beach was clean.
We just got back from majestic mirage yesterday! It was perfect for us as a couple and I agree the shows were excellent… we’ve been to 2 other all inclusives! Thanks for helping me pick and plan my trip!
was it mostly quiet? i heard it's not very lively !
@@LA-ir7dl we thought it was excellent as a couple but definitely not a party resort!
Headed to Dreams Onyx in 2 weeks, Excited/Afraid to see your review. Glad my Wife and I aren't staying at Breathless for a week. Looks fun for 3-4 days but a long week would be tough.
I can’t wait!!!!
Loved the video...looking forward to more
Well that summed it up bluntly. 😀
You NEED to go to Hyatt ZIva or Zilara Cap Cana! Juzt to tell you that their room service it's unique!!
Appreciate the review! Heading there on the 27th!
Your content is great James! Keep traveling and reporting in!
The preferred pool at the onyx is the best pool in Punta Cana you should have went there and the shared water park between the two resorts
Also the preferred method your butler walks you right into the restaurants while people wait for over an hour wait or more when you want to eat at 7pm you eat at 7pm with the butler
Also my group is used to going to Temptations in Cancun, but opted for Breathless Punta Cana this year. The party scene looked underwhelming to me.
Good review. We might be going here
New to your page and I’m hooked!!! Great content and you get straight to the point. I would love to see a review of Dreams onyx which I’d right next door to Breathless. ( they do have an adult only section)
I am about to go here for a bach party and can’t wait! Haven’t been away from my kids in years 😂
Can you please go to temptation Cancun 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I’d love to see your input
GOD BLESS YOU JAMES. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIEND. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. ( I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WYNN/ ENCORE, BELLAGIO AND PALAZZO/ VENETIAN. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING! 🙏
i loveeeee riu republica it's so freaking lit lmao
Thanks!
Wow I went in 2019 wi-fi was strong had a seperate access point near my room and speed test was around 40mbps.
I used my streaming device on the TV even had some remote meetings. Was really surprised how the quliaty of room and wifi experience was for you things have changed for the worse it seems
Thanks for sharing awesome videos! What camera are you using? Video looks great! 👌
Would love to see your iberostar review. Going to be there by the end of april
The one in Jamaica is superb in comparison
I just returned from vacation at Breathless. I agree about the menu selections. I also didn't think the drinks were too good. You have to upgrade to Xhale in order to get a Corona beer. Otherwise everything was great 👍🏾
Great review and very helpful, thank you. Did the Xhale upgrade improve your room choices at all or is that "package" just for upgrades around the resort?
My wife and I are going here because we booked so late and the Hyatt branded property we usually stay at in Jamaica was not available for points. Breathless Punta Cana was far and away the lowest points per night cost in all of the Caribbean so I'm just trying to set my expectations at that value.
Was thinking of going here or chic cancun! Really don't want to feel out of place. Is this place mostly older middle-aged 50 plus couples! Would something like Chic Cancun be a better choice for a solo traveler?
Check out Exellence El Carmen !!!
I think I would book Excellence over this place plus I hear they only play techno which is a no go for me
@@nikkib6604 thank you for this, I had no idea.
If I remember correctly Breathless is a purchased property, so the bones of the place are very old and outdated in my opinion. I saw that when I walk thru it when I stayed in the resort next to it
Nice video
Hey Thanks so much for this video. I’m looking for a spot to go for my sabbatical or fellas only trip and a few people recommended for my 50th. You kept mentioning RIU. For a small group of guys looking to have a good time would you recommend this place in June? Any other recommendations would be appreciated. We also wanted to be conveniently located to local gentleman’s bars and lounges in the city as well.
Can you do Montego Bay next
Hey man great video. Any shot at all you could provide the shuttle service you used? Is it better to just flag down a cab or? Lol help. First time going to DR
Some folks stay at Onyx as it is cheaper and then venture over to Breathless.
Is it worth upgrading to an xhale room? I'm going in a couple weeks and I'm contemplating upgrading my room to the xhale tropical view but after watching this I'm not sure if I should 😂. Advise please!
Great review, thanks. Which all inclusive would you recommend two couples 55+ that like to party and love good food go to for 5 nights in February that won't break the bank? Eastern side of Mexico or Dominican Republic or anywhere else 4 hours or less flight from Philadelphia.
Its Kir royal. Not kill! Hello, I really enjoy your videos. Would be fun if you could talk about the quality of the house wine at each hotel.
James is build like a 29 year old so that's where he should party with. Us 46 year Olds will do 4.5 staring hopes of not being around the young jersey shore crowd that have hard body's and hard habits.
After doing Cancun I'm looking forward to Ala Carte dinning in South Beach or JW Cancun. I want service!
What I’m noticing you have to be really picky when booking an all inclusive resort
What resort for adults is the best ?? I want a quiet tropical vibe..
Luv your videos:). I’ve been to CHIC! Can’t wait for your review. Deciding between Jamaica, again, or DR…so far Republica is on my radar because of you. Can you do a Jamaica series?? (Iburostar Rosehill or Hyatt Ziva)
Hey! How was Chic? Good food? Beach good for swimming?
Was wondering your feelings on Chic. Might be going there for my 50th next year
Dominican resorts generally have poor maintenance. Resorts are basically good few years after opening then after you can see broken thinks that nobody repair
Hi loving your hotel reviews, have you been to any Cap Cana hotels, we are looking to go to the Dominican Republic soon, we are lively 60 plus years not looking for boring/over the top hotels but good food quality accommodation etc any recommendations.
Thanks
Jonathan
Sanctuary Cap Cana is nice
Excellent video. Im looking for an all inclusive for my bday this july turning 33. would like some R&R and party. So basically i should check out RIU for my age group?
Can i upgrade to xhale club upon arrival for the duration of my stay?
Request can you do a video about the best drinks to get
Hi, I really enjoy and apreciate your videos. I'm planning my Honey Moon in Punta Cana, where do you suggest us we should go? Our budget is usd 2.500 for 1 week. We are thinking about Iberostar Grand Bavaro. Thanks a lot! Regards from Argentina.
Stayed at Dreams Onyx and loved it ! Much better than Breathless. Breathless was not tropical at all.… very modern
Thank you love the video, and details. We were at Dreams Royal in Punta Cana in March 2022 loved the Beach, resort and service but did not like the buffets very small , didnt like the food. Which resort would you recommend for an amazing beach and food? Would love to hear your choices. Thank you
Probably Majestic Excellence. Did you pay for the preferred club at Dreams Royal and if so would you recommend it?
so which Punta Cana adults only all inclusive would be your overall top rated and why?
We need to round up all of James fans and petition him to go back to Miami Beach and stay at " the 1" i think this will be better than the mia.i beach edition hotel.
But yeah after watching this I appreciate Miami more for the feeling g of renting a car and feeling safe to dine off property and to have my custom drinks. I plan on spending 150.00 a day at the pool. And if we ever can get James to back to 4 star with 4 star expectations look no further than the Nautilus south beach. MA that place is sweet. Then you can walk to prime 112 steak house and enjoy the A.C.
You still need to go back to Riu Republica before you leave the country... Friday and Monday pool partys.. Sunday night pool party... Weds night Neon Party... Sat night Beach party..... I would go there 6 nights from Weds to Tuesday and get the best of everything. Yes.. Reason there are more 40 + at this compared to Riu Republica is cause of Price.. younger 20s-30s can't afford to spend as much as 40+ but I'm sure you know this already!
Can you do Dreams Onyx?
Hi! Thank you for your great video! Do you have any suggestions or videos you could point me to; looking for Dominican republic.whats most important is Gorgeous swim up room, BEAUTIFUL beach as we will be spending the majority of time at beach and pools at hotel..not major party scene. Were 50 just fyi. Want to walk in room be blown away..accorse same with property and beaches..I appreciate your help! Thank you Lisa
1. Rooms had a strong unpleasant odor of mildew.
2. The room's ceiling had a sewer pipe leak - clothing was damaged and have a disgusting odor of Urine.
3. Jacuzzi was dirty.
4. Black bugs were coming out of the overflow drain in the bathroom
5. Extreme UNPLEASANT service received by staff (which was perceived as racist behavior). It has been well documented, that there is a profound and entrenched problem of racism and racial discrimination in the Dominican Republic, affecting Afro-Dominicans and especially Dominicans of Haitian descent and Haitians. (My sister-in-law is Afro-Dominican and my husband and brother-in-law are of Haitian Descent).
6. We were offered WARM champagne at breakfast
7. My sister-in-law was told by restaurant staff that she should've spoken Spanish to receive a request
8. Staff didn't offer champagne to us; however, guests at the table next who were Caucasian were politely offered champagne.
The behaviors demonstrated by the staff is an absolute and direct result of the racist culture that is woven deeply into the fabric of the Dominican Republic. Therefore, I will NEVER (emphasis on NEVER), return to Breathless, Punta Cana or the Dominican Republic, I refuse to spend money to be treated poorly. The staff is in dire need of diversity training. They should be made to be aware of the importance of treating all guests with the utmost respect regardless of their skin color or hair texture.
Hey James Cool, can you report what kind of music the DJ is playing. I look for the Dominican music vibe the times that I have gone a Resorts in DR, I was disappointed that the only music playing was America music. It will be helpful if you add this to your reviews. Thank you!
I’m opening a nightclub in May next to Breathless hotel where Coolist was I’m planning to play of kind of music from every background including local music so wherever you In 🇩🇴 come enjoy yourself you won’t be disappointed plus I will be one of the residents dj at the club.
Except the large pool, nothing had a WOW factor. To me, you seemed mostly underwhelmed. I am totally shocked you gave this a 4/6.
Can you give a couple recommendations on where you would suggest instead
If you are preferred at Dreams can go to the exhale side?
We've done Breathless, Cancun (4) times, but have never done Breathless, Punta Cana. My wife likes to go topless, so between the (3) pools...(1) pool is designed as topless optional. People around that designed pool are respectful to (All) the women that are topless. Does Breathless, Punta Cana have a topless optional pool?
Did you have the upgraded room and private pool? You said you had the basic room so I was jw.
hey love your vids whats the best way to book a trip to DR best bargains for unta cana please help
What's the top 2 family hotels you'd recommend in punta cana ?? Thank u
What is the face mask situation right now in Punta Cana? The mandate got lifted right? Are they still taking your temperature everywhere or they got rid of that too? Thank you!
When are you visiting Paradisus Grand Cana?
Hey! Do you recommend breathless or chic? Going with my girlfriend, we are 30 yo! Thanks
Is The Nook included or extra money?
Did they reopened the upstairs dance club and lounge ?
Excellent video, really well done. We check in this March 31st, 2022 for 7 days. Have a few questions for you, do you have an email addy??
Is that the xhale section or the allure section?
I feel like you only talk to us in your room. I wanted to see you interacting in other areas.
How was covid down there ? And is there any shortage of food?
The resort is Beautiful however there are most certainly some ugly aspects of the resort which I think should be mentioned.#1 when first checking in we automatically became part of a Time sharing pitch. #2 We go to the Caribbean area solely to swim in the sea. Although the beach has a pristine appearance there are many treacherous rocks beneath the surface.#3 Breathless Dose not have it's own Gym.The Gym thats shared with it's sister resort is too small to accommodate two resorts.#4 This should not be a issue but it can ruin a vacation experience. Although It's not fair to many of the wait staff because there are more great service workers then a few that refuse to provide service when not tipped not to mention menacing stares. Just a few of these encounters can make anyone question why did we spend so much money for this level of service. Top shelf alcohol is rare if at all. We found that the food was very good btw. Thank you for posting this video.
@hey Coolist I don’t know if you had the chance to visit the plaza behind breathless while you were there that’s where I’m opening the nightclub in the plaza right behind breathless so whenever you comeback you are more than welcome to my nightclub the nightclub is espect to open In 2 weeks of May.
Hey! Is this still there?
James my flight last month to Cancun from Tijuana was 150 round-trip 4.5 hours non stop. My question is the DR head and shoulders better than cancun. I stayed at secrets the vine and want to do you JW Marriott non all inclusive next time I feel the need to leave the country.
Just wondering how do you get a deal being a single not a couple price this does stop me from travel as a single is so much more in price.
I wonder as well this same question
How much did you pay it seems cheap on apple vacations for 5 nights.
Anybody know the on-site activities available?
How were the drinks? Strong?
How good is the internet down there?
Go to serenade
Is there a gym
