Territory
The Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa 5 was opened in 2014. Her territory, as the photos show, is quite large. The map also shows the neighboring hotel - "Nau Onyx". Although he is not a part of the Braceless Resort and Spa, you can freely go there, spend time there and even have breakfast in his restaurant. In Dominican hotels, the territory is often divided into zones for ordinary guests and VIP guests. The hotel we are describing and Nau Onyx are also notexception. The latter has a "Preferred Zone". And when you check into the Braceless Resort and Spa, you are immediately offered to make an additional payment for living in the Exhale Club. What privileges this gives - we will tell later.
The hotel consists of two long, three-story buildings elongated perpendicular to the sea. Between them, the life of ordinary guests passes. Two swimming pools, eight restaurants, a tennis court, sports grounds are concentrated in this space. The area for VIP guests is located on the outside of one of the buildings. It focuses more on relaxation. For especially lazy guests, golf carts run around the hotel. But tourists say they rarely used them, because the distances here are small. The whole territory is landscaped and well-groomed.
Rooms
As noted above, the huge Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa is divided into two zones. Rooms for VIP guests are located in both buildings, but in those parts that are closer to the sea and away from noisy bars. Rooms for ordinary guests are called "Allure Suite". They are divided into categories depending on where the windows face - the garden, the pool or the ocean.
The rooms on the first floor stand apart. These suites have spacious terraces with sun loungers and direct access to the pool. And the upper rooms are all with balconies. Suites for Exhale Club guests are also divided into categories depending on the view from the windows: the pool and partially the sea. The ground floor rooms also have direct access to the beach. Especially shouldhighlight the more expensive categories of "suites": "Master" (with a direct view of the ocean, a terrace with sun loungers, a spacious living room and two bathrooms) and "Presidential" (in addition to everything else, an equipped kitchen and dining room are added).

Hairdryer, safe, minibar, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, air conditioning and ceiling fan, bathrobes and slippers - everything you expect to see in the "five".
But the rooms have something beyond the usual set. For example, a device for drying air, because the tropics of the Caribbean are very humid. Drinks and snacks from the minibar are replenished every day. And cosmetic accessories in the bathroom are not simple, but by Gilchrist & Soames. Garden furniture on the balcony, floor scales, an iron with an ironing board and other pleasant things complete the decoration of the room.
