Territory
Hotel Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa 5 * was opened in 2014. The territory in her, as the photo shows, is quite large. The map also shows the neighboring hotel - Nau Onyx. Although it is not part of the Braceless Resort & Spa, you can freely go there, spend time there and even have breakfast in its restaurant. In Dominican hotels, the territory is often divided into zones for ordinary guests and VIP guests. The hotel and Nau Onyx described by us are also no exception. In the latter there is "Prefred Zone." And when you check in at Bralessless Resort & Spa, you are immediately offered to make a surcharge for accommodation at the Exhale Club. What privileges this gives - we will tell later.
The hotel consists of two long, perpendicular to the sea three-story buildings. Between them passes the life of ordinary guests. Two pools, eight restaurants, a tennis court, and sports grounds are concentrated in this space. The VIP guest area is located on the outside of one of the buildings. It focuses more on relaxing vacations. For especially lazy guests, golf carts run around the hotel. But tourists say they rarely used them, because the distances here are small. The whole territory is landscaped and well-groomed.
Number of rooms
As noted above, the huge Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa is divided into two zones. Non-VIP guests are located in both buildings, but in those parts that are closer to the sea and away from noisy bars. The rooms for ordinary guests are called the Allure Suite. They are divided into categories depending on where the windows go - into the garden, pool or ocean.
The rooms on the ground floor stand alone. These suites have spacious terraces with sun loungers and direct access to the pool. And the upper rooms are all with balconies. Suites for guests of Exhale Club are also divided into categories depending on the type of windows: the pool and partly the sea. The ground floor rooms also have direct access to the beach. Especially worth noting are the more expensive categories of “suites”: “Master” (with direct ocean views, a terrace with sun loungers, a spacious living room and two bathrooms) and “Presidential” (to everything else, there is also an equipped kitchen and dining room).
What's in the room?
To realize the luxury of suites, let's analyze the content of the cheapest category of rooms. Tourists say that all rooms of Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa are fully consistent with the five-star status of the hotel. Firstly, reviews often mention stylish design - bright, rich colors of the walls, mosaic on the ceiling, original architectural details. Each room has a jacuzzi on the balcony (or terrace). A hairdryer, a safe, a minibar, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, air conditioning and a ceiling fan, bathrobes and slippers - all this you expect to see in the "five".
But the rooms have something beyond the usual set. For example, a device for drying air, because in the tropics of the Caribbean it is very humid. Drinks and snacks from the minibar are replenished every day. And the bathroom amenities are not simple, but Gilchrist & Soames. The furniture is complemented by garden furniture on the balcony, scales, an iron with an ironing board and other pleasant things.
VIP privileges
Now let's see if it is worth upgrading the service at Exhale Club. The rooms for such guests have not only a more advantageous location, but also a number of other advantages. This is increased comfort, a pillow menu, premium linen, luxury cosmetics, richer filling of the minibar. These rooms are cleaned twice a day. Guests can use the services of a butler.

After lunch, they are treated to tea and coffee with elite desserts in the VIP lounge. Check-in to the rooms takes place for them out of turn, at a separate reception. If for ordinary guests only local drinks are poured in bars for free, then foreign branded drinks are available for club members.
