Breathless Riviera Cancun - Viva the Vibe Choice!
by Susan Campbell
Can you have trendy, luxurious, energetic and laid-back all in one
place at an upscale, adult-only all-inclusive resort? Yes, you can!
The Xcelerate Pool crests the nexus of the
community courtyard where you will find all
the dining spots. It also and serves as the
main social gathering venue for special events
like the weekly Neon Party. The After Dark
nightclub is also found there, and the massive
Spoon Buffet is open 24/7 – a first I’ve seen at
an all-inclusive. (Ideal for late night
munchies.) There you’ll find the easy-going
partiers kicking back in couches in the pool,
or in the large whirlpool or pool bar by the
sea, and maybe playing a game of beach volleyball.
The music is lively, but not too loud!
This is also where they hold their fantastic
Saturday night beach barbecue- one of the
best I’ve ever had, so don’t miss it!
Opened in 2016, Breathless Riviera
Cancun Resort & Spa is an upscale
adult-only all-inclusive of 526 ultrachic
suites located near Puerto Morales about
20 minutes from the airport. They have a signature
offering- Unlimited Luxury®- which
means boundless gourmet dining and premium
brand beverages at multiple stand-alone
themed restaurants and fab bars and
lounges. And the 24/7 room service is also a
huge bonus! The concept of this resort brand
is squarely focused on energetic millennial
travellers seeking lots of action - think foam
pool parties, booming music and late-night
blow-outs. But in this resort you can have the
best of all possible worlds.
Being a ‘mature’ traveler, sometimes I simply
want to chill by the sea without having to feel
like I’m missing all the fun. But that’s the
beauty of this spot- the design is pure genius.
You can slide from vibe to vibe and back
again without skipping a beat. But if you want
to experience the entire range of ambiance
options there, you must choose to stay at the
Xhale Club wing.
Xhale Zone
VIP treatment is the rule at the Xhale Clubprivate
check-in and concierge, and an exclusive
club lounge space are a few of the perks.
Elevated accommodations include spacious
modern, rooms with big whirlpool tubs on the
balcony, or a choice of luxe swim-out suites.
Exclusive entrance to the Xhale Club private
pool and the Kibbeh restaurant- an enchanting
alfresco dining spot on the sea are also
part of the package. I loved the layout and the
Zen music at the infinity pool, but when it’s
time to take it up a notch, head next door to
the Xcelerate Pool zone.
Xcelerate Zone
High Energy Zone
Don’t get too comfortable in that oasis
though, because a carnival style
“Champagne Parade” will soon show up to
remind you that there is yet another much
higher-octane option right next door, and
beckon you to follow them there. If you do,
you’ll find yourself in the thick of the South
Beach style blow-out at the Energy Zone
replete with exclusive champagne bars, hot
DJs, and really loud music! The vibe is infectious,
so you’re bound to do some bootyshaking
no matter what your age. But if you
happen to overdo it, and need to recuperate
and recharge, then head to their Relax Spa by
Pevonia®. It’s a comprehensive facility with
everything one could need to revive mind
body and spirit so you can go vibe-hopping
all over again the very next day.
