Breathless Day is One of Most Memorable Ever
It was the third day at Breathless Resort in Punta Cana for
me, my daughter, Sam, and her boyfriend, Matt. It would turn out to be a day
none of us would ever forget.
I checked out the Bloody Mary bar in the Xhale Lounge, the section
of the resort we were staying in that offers extra amenities.
I decided instead
to just opt for a latte and a croissant. I enjoyed it from a lounge in front of
Xhale’s private sun drenched pool.
Sam and I took a ride over to Dreams The Palm to tour the
resort and learn about weddings there for an upcoming destination wedding
series I am working on. It happened they were setting up for a few upcoming
weddings, by the pool, on the beach, and in the gazebo. All the set-ups looked
amazing.
I really liked the Dreams resort. It had a Preferred Club,
which was similar to the Xhale Club at Breathless. These guests have Bali Beds
on their private beach at no extra charge. They also have great room amenities.
Although Dreams does allow kids, it is set up for families,
couples, and singles, with numerous adults-only areas.
We headed back to Breathless. Sam went to meet Matt and I
chose a light lunch from room service of a Waldorf salad and a small piece of a
raspberry covered ricotta cheesecake. I ate in from my patio while I looked out at the clear blue ocean.
I met them a bit later and the three of us hung out at the
swim-up bar and made some new friends over Mango Margaritas and Mudslides.
We had very different plans for dinner this night. I was
having dinner with Macarena, the manager of the Xhale Club, at Kibbeh. I had
been disappointed in some of the dinners the past few days, but I can’t say
enough about this place.
After dinner, Macarena and I went to the Main Stage to see
the Belly Dancer Show. It was quite fun. It wasn’t as exciting as another
evening was going, though.
Sam and Matt had a most special dinner. It took a wonderful
group of Breathless Punta Cana employees to set up an unbelievably romantic dinner on the
beach for the two of them in their own private rose-filled hut, with their own
wait staff. (This is something that any guest at Breathless can set up, though
there is a small extra charge.)
They sipped champagne, ate surf and turf, delighted in a delectable chocolate dessert, and…

GOT ENGAGED! Yes, Breathless Resorts will always hold a
special place in our hearts as it is the place my daughter and her boyfriend
(now fiancé) became engaged. The staff even set up a rose petal filled Jacuzzi for
them.
We drank some champagne together before I called it a night.
It was certainly hard to top the excitement of this day, but I was ready for
another Breathless day to come.
