The hype
Travelers love the modern aesthetic and the rooftop pools, but the 'party' vibe is inescapable unless you upgrade to VIP.
Breathless Cancun Soul Resort & Spa
$250-600+/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a high-energy, Instagram-ready party where the DJ starts at noon but you still demand 24-hour room service and a decent steak.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- The Xhale Club rooftop infinity pool offers arguably the best skyline views in the Hotel Zone
- No reservation required at any of the 10 dining venues
- The 'party vs. chill' split actually works—Xcelerate pool for foam parties, Energy pool for mixing, Xhale for quiet luxury
Resumen rápido: It’s a sleek, thumping party tower that feels more like a Vegas day club than a Mexican cultural immersion.
Reseñado por @camillacattaneo_: I stayed in the Ocean View Suite and honestly, waking up to that turquoise water was unreal. The rooftop pool parties were a total vibe, but the spa was pure bliss when we needed a break. Perfect mix of fun and chill.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
Service can be inconsistent—amazing one day, slow the next—and the 'premium' drinks sometimes taste suspiciously watered down at the swim-up bars.
- You own more swimwear than actual clothes
- You want to meet people and socialize at the swim-up bar
- You appreciate a 'Magic Box' for contactless room service delivery
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally diligent, twice-daily service often available, but can be slow to replenish minibar items.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling glass and modern fixtures, though the open-concept design means water splashes everywhere.
- Maintenance: New hotel (2021) so structural wear is low, but humidity causes persistent dampness and occasional musty smells in rooms.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and white, but can feel slightly damp due to the climate control struggling with the ocean humidity.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature 'fresh' fragrance; hallways can smell of damp carpet or marijuana depending on the neighbors.

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the Xhale Club upgrade worth it?
Yes. Without it, you lose access to the best rooftop pool (Purple Bar) and the only quiet sanctuary on the property.
Is the beach private?
No. It is a public beach. While the hotel has a section with chairs, locals and vendors have full access to the shoreline.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, small dogs (under 22 lbs/10 kg) are allowed in specific Xhale room categories for ~$65 USD/night.
Do I need dinner reservations?
No. All 10 dining venues operate on a first-come, first-served basis, which is a huge perk.
Is there a lot of seaweed?
It varies by season, but this location (North Hotel Zone) generally sees less sargassum than the Riviera Maya resorts further south.
How is the Wi-Fi?
Surprisingly good (7.7/10 rating), reliable enough for streaming and video calls even by the pool.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The 'Purple Bar' on the Xhale rooftop has the best top-shelf liquor; the downstairs bars often pour well brands unless you specify.
- ✨
Order the 'hibiscus flower tostada' at the Mexican restaurant—it's a sleeper hit.
- ✨
Use the 'Magic Box' for morning coffee delivery to avoid opening your door to staff while in your robe.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'Mood Lighting' in the room has a 'WOW' and 'Heart' setting that turns the room into a neon-lit nightclub or a red-light district.
💡The shower has a glass wall that looks directly into the bedroom—there is a shade, but it is often translucent or finicky.
💡The elevators are mirrored and lit like a disco, playing techno music 24/7.
💡You can hear the DJ from the toilet in many lower-floor rooms.
💡The 'Champagne Bar' (Fizz Iced) is often empty because everyone is at the swim-up bar, making it a great spot for quick service.
