  • The 3rd and 4th nights, we ended up eating at Bluewater grill on the Dreams side. We enjoyed it so much the first time, we came back the next day. By far the best meals of the trip. 1

  • The resort is located in Uvero Alto, which is about 45 minutes north of Punta Cana International Airport. It's a bit further than some resorts in the area, but that drive is worth it. Uvero Alto is quieter, less crowded, and the beach here is stunning. 210:34
  • So my recommendation is to go earlier in the day. There is also a taco truck on Dreams side, really close to Breathless. We got some chicken tacos and they were good with several topping options available. 1

  • Both the coffee and pastries were really good, and I am fairly particular about coffee, with a strong preference for iced lattes. 1
  • afterward we had breakfast at the buffet it was super crowded but many tables were available so finding a seat was easy the food variety and flavor were excellent On camera168:31
  • Rates include everything from the food and alcohol to the water sports and themed pool parties, but some guests complain that the food and service at the restaurants lag. 3
  • Some complaints of mediocre food and service at the restaurants 20
  • The Coquette impresses with a sizable menu and a warm setting perfect for a dating night. 5

  • I especially enjoyed the French restaurant. It truly became the highlight of my stay with an elegant atmosphere and impeccable dishes. On camera114:33
  • We actually did not eat at any restaurants on the Breathless side. We tried to eat at Silk City one night, but upon being seated, there was a strong sewage odor every time the door to the kitchen was opened, so we opted to leave. 1
  • The Unlimited Luxury rates include everything from the food and alcohol to the water sports and themed pool parties, but some guests complain that the food and service at the restaurants lag. 20
  • We took a short walk over to the Dreams side and the first night ate at the Mediterranean restaurant called Cin Cin. I ordered the shrimp and saffron risotto and it was actually really good, but a really small portion. 1
  • Silk City serves pan-Asian cuisine and is the second most consistently praised restaurant. The pad Thai and stir-fry dishes hit above the typical all-inclusive level. 18
  • The buffet at Spoon is forgettable. The real advantage is variety and accessibility - 10 restaurants without reservations, plus 11 more at Dreams Onyx, plus 24-hour room service. 18
  • The 3rd and 4th nights, we ended up eating at Bluewater grill on the Dreams side. We enjoyed it so much the first time, we came back the next day. By far the best meals of the trip. 1

  • Real gastronomy: they have an espresso coffee machine at breakfast (something incredibly rare in the Caribbean) and a natural smoothies corner. 7
  • The 'Beef Steak': at one of the restaurants they overcooked the meat. It was good, but they went past the right point. 7
  • I love that there are 11 restaurants and eight bars. You will never get bored with the food or drink. On camera93:18

  • our shakeing was fast and since we had time to kill until our room was ready we went for lunch at the buffet On camera160:43
  • And while the food was varied, it didn't always meet the hotel's level. On camera119:04
  • The Strip Grill is the resort's steakhouse and the most popular dinner venue on property. Grilled specialties are done well, the atmosphere is upscale casual, and it also serves a solid breakfast. 18
  • spoon the buffet restaurant open for breakfast lunch and dinner the buffet has a good variety of dishes and Cuisine types On camera152:18
  • Guests report the steakhouse and hibachi restaurant are excellent - consistently named among the best meals on property 24

  • The food is above average (those homemade pizzas...), the service is a 10 and the rooms are a luxury. 7
  • Dinner is where Spoon falls flat. The selection is large but nothing stands out. If you are staying more than three nights, you will eat here twice and then never return. 18
  • Upgrading to an xhale club suite means upgraded minibars and room service menus, as well as access to several VIP restaurants, bars, pools, and a roped off section of the beach. It also comes with butler service, though some past guests have reported mediocre experiences. 20
  • How is the food compared to other DR all-inclusives? Good but not exceptional. The Strip Grill and Silk City are the standouts. 18
  • so the french restaurant coquette i liked it and here's why firstly it felt like a restaurant that's so many of these all-inclusives these restaurants are just one giant square room with all of the seating an On camera147:46
  • When it comes to dining, Breathless Punakana truly shines with its diverse culinary offerings that cater to every pallet and dining preference. On camera61:59
  • t necessarily on the food quality and taste i thought it was above average but the menu selection was really small and really quite boring there were just a couple of appetizers and maybe like three or four entrees 14
  • On one hand, the meals were generally excellent, fresh, beautifully presented, and with a huge variety for every taste. On camera114:25
  • Some guests felt the food didn't always live up to the hype, and during busier times, you might run into a wait at the restaurant or have trouble finding shaded lounges by the pool. On camera198:39
  • The 24-hour buffet was also worth mentioning. You could always grab something delicious, even late at night. On camera114:40
  • The rather pricy Beach Blanca Restaurant, located inside the gated enclave of the enormous PuntaCana Resort & Club, serves casual meals like sandwiches and tacos along with pescado a la plancha (grilled fish), shrimp, octopus, or beef for beachfront dining. 5
  • Restaurants largely receives positive reviews, though there have been some reports of average food. 20
  • The only thing that slightly spoiled the experience was the confusion with restaurant and buffet schedules. Because of that, we missed dinner a few times and had to eat burgers late at night, which was a bit frustrating. On camera117:08

  • The Allure Junior Suite Swim Up is the standout in this tier. Direct pool access from your terrace means you can roll out of bed and float within 30 seconds. At $320/night it is only $70 more than the base room and worth every cent if pool proximity matters to you. 18

  • The presidential suite sits at the top end of the lineup, spanning over 2,600 square feet, including a kitchen, dining area, and expansive oceanfront terrace. Across all categories, the overall standard stays consistent, modern, well-equipped, and designed for comfort. On camera132:20
  • The bed was comfortable and housekeeping made up the room every day and the water and fridge were restocked. No issues. 1
  • Four shared hot tubs are scattered around the pool areas, but since every suite has a private hot tub on the balcony, they see less use than you would expect. The private balcony tubs are the move. 18
  • The Hail Club Suites offer either a king-size bed for couples or two double beds, perfect for friends traveling together. and they come with panoramic views that will take your breath away. On camera231:37

  • While we didn't spend much time in the room (because there's so much to do!), it was the perfect retreat when we did. 17
  • The furniture seemed outdated and the entire space needed serious renovation. It was constantly stuffy and damp inside and there was a noticeable smell of mold from the beginning. On camera115:47

  • ⦁ Does Breathless Punta Cana offer complimentary transportation to the airport? There is no in-house transportation service at the Breathless Resort. Instead, their local partner charges $93 for a private ride or $44 per passenger for a shared shuttle, which is a high cost for an airport trip. 5
  • Combined with a furnished balcony or terrace, flat-screen TV, complimentary minibar restocked daily, double vanity, large walk-in shower, and free Wi-Fi, the base room at Breathless is legitimately well-equipped for the price point. 18

  • My speculation is that it rained very hard that day for about 2 hours, so maybe the plumbing got overwhelmed. We took a short walk over to the Dreams side and the first night ate at the Mediterranean restaurant called Cin Cin. The service was slow, but I'm on vacation so that is okay. 1
  • One thing that stands out across most reviews is the staff. People really notice how warm and attentive they are. Some go out of their way to remember your name or surprise you with little touches that make the stay feel personal. On camera198:18
