Why We Recommend It:
Breathless Resort is an adults-only all-inclusive on Punta Cana’s Uvero Alto Beach that has been a very popular choice with young visitors since its inception in 2013.
It’s a luxury resort – though technically a 4 Star it can certainly outdo many 5 Star resorts – and it has the consistently strong reviews to back that up.
There have 750 bright and colorful suites here in total but even in high season it really never feels too packed.
The resort covers a large area so everyone has plenty of space and its stretch of beach at Uvero Alto is nicely uncrowded.
Among its many facilities are various swimming pools, whirlpools and a lazy river, full spa and gym facilities, numerous bars and restaurants, both buffet and a la carte, a theater, a casino and daily and nightly entertainment.
