Secrets Riviera Cancun versus Breathless Riviera Cancun
At the end of June, we stayed at Secrets Riviera Cancun. Secrets Riviera Cancun is the old Xhale Club Section of Breathless. You should think of it more as a section of the Breathless resort than a stand alone Secrets resort. Secrets Riviera Cancun has one pool, one restaurant, a hot tub, and a lounge. The rooms are the same as the Breathless Riviera Cancun rooms.
If you wanted to spend all your time at Secrets, you could. The restaurant has specialty nights at least three nights a week with evening entertainment and a different menu. The breakfast and lunch menus had a lot of good choices. We loved heading over the Breathless side for fun at the swim up bar in the afternoon, but relaxing at the Secrets pool before and after. Best of both worlds.
Breathless Riviera Cancun is a lively adults only all inclusive resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Breathless Riviera Cancun is a great option if you like a lively pool scene. At Breathless Riviera Cancun, you have the choice of the Allure pool or the Xcelerate pool. The Allure pool features top 40 hits and activities like pool volleyball, beach volleyball, and afternoon pool games. The Xcelerate features club music and afternoon pool parties. Both have large hot tubs. Dining at Breathless Riviera Cancun was very good. Take a look:
Things to warn clients about: The beach at Breathless Riviera Cancun is not great. The Allure section can be loud at night - especially now during COVID since the night club is moved to outside at the Wink bar.
Tips:
Secrets is a great choice if your client wants a mix of active and relaxing. You can dip into the party at Breathless and then come back to Secrets.
At Breathless, The Xcelerate rooms will be quieter at night.
Both Allure and Xcelerate rooms will be loud during the day.
All Breathless Ocean View rooms look inward to the resort. You need to turn your head right or left to see the ocean.
Bachelorette/Bachelor groups are popular here. There's also an unadvertised "Untie the Knot" package that includes a pinata with the ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend's face on it.
You may want to warn clients that topless sun bathing is allowed in the Xcelerate pool area.
