Mayan Riviera 2022 - Part II - Breathless Riviera Cancun

 

The view from my balcony

After staying with my friends, and seeing what Tulum and its environs have to offer, I checked into the Breathless for 3 nights. Dear readers, it was not long enough. This is a gorgeous resort with lovely amenities, and I easily could have stayed a full week. The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable.

The biggest hot tub I've ever seen

The grounds were gorgeous. There was a massive hot tub, and several party pools. There might be a quiet pool, but I didn't really go hunting it. The conversation pits in the main pool were usable by anyone, no cost, no reservations. I quite liked that.

One of the perks of staying Xhale Club level (minimum 3 nights) is a bottle of champagne at the party pool near the hot tub. Some kind souls helped me drink it (can't let it go flat, chugging isn't wise).

The beach is nice, although all loungers are behind a plant border. I believe it is the demarcation between private and public property. The water temperature was lovely.

The club lounge had a variety of hot and cold snacks available most of the day, as well as bar service, and wonderful concierges.

Another thing included with my Xhale Club stay was a complementary spa water circuit. This was a nice little perk, although finding time to fit all the little perks in to my short visit was challenging, to say the least.

The dining was good as well. I never had to resort to the buffet.

I had the shrimp and veggies - delicious

The flight back had the same excellent service I'm spoiled enough to be used to. I was informed, however, that hot food would be reinstated three days after my return home. Oh well, I can report on that next time.

I honestly don't remember what this was
