The hotel

Breathless Montego Bay is a stylish, luxury resort that's all all-suite, all-inclusive, and all for adults. Being exclusively for grownups, they’ve been able to have endless fun with the ultramodern design and features, from the sultry and seductive décor in your suite — which also comes with its own whirlpool, in-room tablet, and mountain and bay views — to the calendar of dance, beach, pool, and even masquerade parties. Thankfully, they’ve got all-inclusive room service for when you finally crawl back to your sumptuous suite! In fact, pretty much everything here is included free, including the pool and beach waiter service, the seven gourmet dining venues, and Jamaica’s only rooftop pool and bar, where fusion food, sleek pool styling, and unlimited drinks go hand in hand.

Two years ago, my group of 9 had an unforgettable time at Breathless Montego Bay. The music, the energy, the culture, it all felt like a true celebration of Jamaica. We couldn’t wait to come back and recreate those memories. But sadly, this time around, the resort just wasn’t the same. For an adults-only resort, the vibe was unusually quiet. Last time, there was music playing all throughout the day, giving life to the pool and creating an atmosphere of fun and connection. This time? Silence until nightfall, with barely anything happening during the day. The activity schedule that was posted was barely followed, which only added to the confusion and disconnect. Even more frustrating, the music restrictions were hard to ignore. DJs weren’t allowed to play anything with even light profanity, and line dances (which usually bring people together) were almost nonexistent, outside of “The Wobble” and a quick “Boots on the Ground.” It felt like the culture was being erased in the very country it should be celebrated. In fact, things got so dull that guests started bringing their own speakers to the pool just to create a sense of unity and keep the energy alive. When guests have to take entertainment into their own hands, that says a lot. Most people we met ended up leaving Breathless and going into town or over to Secrets just to find a good time. I was honestly embarrassed that I talked our group into coming back based on how great it used to be. Now, to be fair, the staff was amazing. Friendly, helpful, and truly welcoming. And I must say, the food is still top-tier, every meal we had was flavorful and well-prepared. But great staff and great food can’t make up for the lack of vibe, culture, and daytime energy. We had planned to book our next trip while we were here, but unfortunately, that won’t be happening. This is Jamaica, the heartbeat of the Caribbean. Let it beat. Let it breathe. Let the people dance. Bring the vibe back! Read less

The rainfall shower to the jacuzzi on the patio was everything I needed. The food and drinks were always perfect…. Oh and the VIBE was everything I needed! Thanks Breathless for your warm welcome and customer service.

Our stay at breathless was a great experience. The daily schedule for entertainment was top notch, and ALL of the DJs were excellent playing an array of old school reggae, dancehall and modern dancehall. It wasn’t overly crowded so the beach furniture, cabanas were easily accessible. The staff is the highlight! The staff will greet you with “Welcome Home” upon arrival. All of the service workers were warm, kind and professional Yah Mon! True Jamaicans. Having access to Secrets beach was so convenient and a beautiful beach it is.. our only feedback that could be used for future improvements is housekeeping should replace lining when cleaning the room and I am referring to towels and washcloths. They were a bit hesitant to provide for linen when requesting. They should also restock the fridge , we drank all of our water and came back to no replenishment. That is it! Thank you breathless staff Read less
