First and foremost, the good. Breathless Riviera was great! The accommodations and staff were wonderful.
A good blend of ages and demographics. My husband and I are mid-40s and were about average.
The restaurants had plenty of variety.
There was a party pool for folks looking to get a little cray-cray and a more laid back pool for those of us who are old and don’t understand all the bubbles. But you need to watch the party pool’s show at least once. The bongo drummer is AWESOME!!
There was a ton of things going on all day, lots of entertainment, and tons of food EVERYWHERE.
If you love wine, Antonio, the Sommelier, was PHENOMENAL. Making reservations with him and dining in his private wine room was hands down the best part of the trip.
Now, for the not so great.
The beach. I’m a beach and ocean girl so I was very disappointed in the beach and water. It isn’t the beautiful blue water that you get at Isla Mujeres. The beach does have powdery sand but it is also rocky in places.
Dinner. The first day my husband and I wondered why everyone left the pool around 4 o’clock. Then, at 6:30 that night when we wanted to eat dinner, we quickly found out the answer: the wait. If you want to eat at any of the restaurants, you need to be dressed and ready by 5ish. Otherwise, it will be 9pm before your buzzer goes off.
Other than that, it was a wonderful getaway for my hubby and me for his birthday!
