The hotel

Thankfully, they’ve got all-inclusive room service for when you finally crawl back to your sumptuous suite!

I have to recommend this place to everyone who visits. Special shout out to our amazing butler Olivia and our two drivers Hodane and Sulaiman. The food is delicious, you must try the jerk chicken on the beach at secrets. The upgrade to Xhale is so worth it.

My week at Breathless was nothing short of incredible! From the stunning aesthetics of the resort to the delicious food and top-notch service, every detail was unforgettable. However, what truly stood out was the exceptional staff. I’ve never felt so welcomed at a resort before! Huge shoutout to Stainless, Romane, Shadow, Stephen, Shamar, Berry, Syan, Claudia, Omar, Saba, and our amazing butlers, Rory and Shane. As two girls traveling alone, we felt completely safe and were treated like family every step of the way. We’re going to miss them so much! Read less

Oneil at the bar always greeted with a smile and made the experience even better. My husband and I chose to stay in the room more often than not to enjoy the beautiful space. Olivia and Shane made sure we were still able to try food from Breathless and Secrets to ensure we weren't always eating from room service. AMAZING! Don't miss dinner at altitude rooftop! Thank you all! Read less

Great property and experience at Breathless and Secrets. I really liked the access to Secrets Wild Orchid restaurants and preferred the options at Breathless. I would chose staying over given the proximity to the beach, activities, restaurants. The amenities at Breathless were amazing and the staff was very hospitable. The only downside was the food for us. Very limited vegetarian/vegan options even in the buffet. Every restaurant only had 1 vegetarian option. Kudos to the chef at Himitsu who made us special meals. Overall, the beach and amenities made up for a memorable experience. Read less

A great 10 nights at Breathless during December. Easy check-in with the super efficient and friendly Fabian, whilst Rory and Shane (butlers) made sure we had whatever we needed throughout our stay. Also thanks to Gillian on the front desk for her help. Our Xhale room had a glorious view across the bay, was comfortable and everything worked fine. The rain shower was fabulous. As returning guests we were treated like part of the Breathless family and special mention to Alex, Venessa, Cameron, Khydene, Tevin, Theo, Nichol, Melissa, Sabrina, Chantal and Shenae who looked after us at breakfast and also at Altitude for lunch. Great selection of Jamaican food at the breakfast buffet. We booked Altitude for dinner on a couple of nights and with good weather it was beautiful to look across the bay under the full moon and the bright planet Venus. Some activities during the day, with the main event being the pool party 3-5 pm each day. Shout out to the entertainment team, particularly Freestyle and Kai. We also enjoyed the party in the lobby area which takes place each evening at 10pm. We missed the Friday evening outside buffet and entertainment at Breathless for Jamaica day, and also the performances which used to take place during the evenings. Always a warm welcome at the bars, and special thanks to Tamara, Jamila and O’Neil. The main pool area and that on the rooftop was well maintained each day and Lands would check in with us. Whilst we were there brand new loungers were brought in along with plenty of new parasols, which were much appreciated. Overall, a super winter break at Breathless without a doubt made by all the friendly hardworking staff. We wish you all a Happy Christmas and a great 2025. Read less
