Breathless is the adults only resort (18 years and older) which is part of the Secrets franchise. Although Breathless does not have it's own beach, Secrets has a VIP section for Breathless guests. Regarding the microwave missing from the room, "pretty common" in All Inclusive Resorts in Jamaica. They really don't want you storing food in the room considering it's so accessible on the resort.
Good information. Yeah I have found out that the microwave missing is quite common.
This was one of the most practical and informative reviews I have watched on this trio of resorts. Thanks!
24hr room service included is a must when it comes to all-inclusive.
Sure is
never use US dollars use Jamaica Dollars & for the taxis get a route taxi to get around it like $2 a trip..i went to Dunn's river using a taxi payed my own entry cost of my trip 1300JD not the hotel prices or tours operator you get who charge up-to $130....you must be crazy if you think i paying them prices...people really need to start doing there homework when visiting here.
Fam, I went to Montego Bay for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and you definitely aren't lying about the taxi prices, I also made the mistake of not knowing that the atms didn't take my bank card and had to go to one at a store across from my resort that charged 15 dollar withdrawal fee
I'm American & my Jamaican friends wouldn't let me talk at first. Now, I'm better than they are with taxi service!!!
Yes,, you need lots of tipping money 💰 !!!! They should have told you that there are Cambio money services to exchange your larger bills. I was just there & did it. Just be careful when going. Also, I no longer stay in all inclusive hotels anymore. If, your not a big drinker; that's a waste of money. My local hotels are very nice & the people absolutely love me. I get extra special attention for a whole lot less!!! And, I got a microwave and refrigerator to store & heat my food.
Good info , thank you
What is the name of resort? I'm going in Jan and want to stay a bit longer than group
@@danachauvin9056 there are lots depending on the area you want to stay
They do that bc they know you a foreigner so they charger u more it's good u get a tour guide or someone you can trust to take you around even with food
Yeah i figured.
Hey thanks for your review... As a local..I'd wanna recommend Moon Palace Jamaica Grande to you... It's in St. Ann Ocho RIos so it's in the centre of the town and much closer to all the additional amenities you wanna enjoy so saving much more on transport toom.
That’s good information, as we will be back. Thanks for letting me know
@@HanginWithPA you're most welcome. Looking out for your review on your stay there.
It’s up already. It’s a review of the hotel and Jamaica as a whole
I'm at moon palace now and its great!
@@kashaansmalltrusty6820 hello, how many resorts have you stayed at in Jamaica. Being that you’re a local, I’m curious which resorts has the best and most authentic Jamaican food?
I was shocked by the transportation costs, but then I read where the drivers have to pay a lot of fees on top of the high prices for the vehicles and gas, so the amount they actually get paid is not great.
Thanks for the review. Helped us out a great deal!
Awesome, glad to help
Nice review, straight to the point 👍🏽👍🏽
FOR CORRECTION: You can come to breathless if you stay at secret st james if you have the vip beach club access. It gives access to breathless restaurants and events.
That what I do to get to know the locals, I've done inclusive with my family beautiful experience ❤❤
I'm going for my honeymoon in September, thanks for sharing! I will definitely be signing up for the airport service you spoke of!
Awesome. Congrats, it’s worth it
Duns River fall and the excursion with the horses on the water
the "30 usd per person" is actually overpriced
I figured it was..
Great video! Great tips thanks!! Did you guys do any clubs?
Great video! All these views and no likes? This is great and very helpful information. Thanks for sharing. I’m taking my wife for her birthday on New Years Eve, any suggestions? Looking for one stop shopping. Also did you guys use a travel agent and which one of you did?
Thank you for the positive feedback. Awesome, you guys will love it. We did not book through a travel agent as it was list minute, for future trips we definitely will as to get better rates.
One stop shopping. Our driver took us to a store that was next to the Harley Davidson dealership, was real nice and had everything we needed
Bro, it isn't covid19 it's just JA. Try Negil next time the cabs are less and you can walk almost everywhere it's all of 7 miles of town... Mexico gives way more for ya buck. Riviera maya Playa del carmen or Tulum are my favorite cities. Most all resorts offer shuttle til 4pm and after a cab is $8-30 max ✌🏾
Thank you for sharing. I'm going in September with a few business partners. I love my hot coffee however I will drink it cold as well. I will let my partners know about the microwave. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Awesome, enjoy 💪🏽🤙🏽
Thank you very informative!
Thanks for watching
Great review! Thanks
This was great. Wish you did more but nevertheless I was satisfied ❤
I normally used local taxi service
Good info, thanks . How much do they charge
I would go outside the hotel and hail a taxi and ask what is their destination. Depending on where you wish to go, I find them very helpful by pointing you in the right direction. Bear in mind that you might be sharing with other passengers. If you use a charter taxi then the cost will be much higher. I always travel like the locals
Thanks
Only use the taxi service with a red number plate. If you in mobay area then it’s very easy to get around using the local taxi most short journey is between 100-250ja$ use the bus park at the end of Barnet street at the corner of Courts furniture store. Have small notes available. I hope this is helpful.
It was thank you . Yes i remember the red plates
There are local banks and cambios to change your money
Good to know.
Thanks for that!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes, no microwave was my biggest complaint. I hate wasting good left overs. Lol My only other complaint is not having laundry area to do my laundry for the return. I hate traveling with dirty clothes. 😩😩😩
Yes, that would have been nice. I mean they did offer cleaning for 2.50 for 1 sock.
@@HanginWithPA not 1 sock 🤣🤣🤣
It’s true 😂
They took you!!! You have to NEGOTIATE on taxis.
I did they started off at 40+ a person. I know from here on out what to do
I always negotiate & get them down. I was just there & it was myself and my friend. I paid $40- for both of us. He ran me around in the rain for 2 hours in a clean air conditioned van.
Good to know, thank you !
You dont need to negotiate with them anymore,just prepare popcorns when next hurricane hits Jamaica and enjoy watching taxi drivers washed down the sea🤗
Thank you!
Try Negril next time .
Will look into it . Thanks
If you stay in Secrets wild orchid privilege you have access to breathless
No all inclusive there have microwave in the hotel inless its villa
Why would you need a microwave? I stopped after that
Why not a microwave. Who wanna waste food and drinks
There is local $100 Ja taxi service depending on where u r going
Good to know
How did you get change into Jamaican money?
Big Bro do Breathless have Vip taxi on site and do they take you anywhere?
Yes, but they will charge you atleast $25 usd a person, this covers round trip
Thank you sir and great video very informative.
Glad you found it informative 👍🏽
Im talking to a girl from st james shes talking dirt poor this dont look poor
She trying to get in your pockets. Don't be a fool
My travel agent mentioned that Secrets would be better a couples who are doing a honeymoon, anniversary and a larger couples trip. Breathlesss for singles or those wanting to party. The VIP area (Xhale Club) is quiet so it’s for those wanting a quieter time or couples. Quiet pools and accommodations.
Is breathless a swingers resort?
😂😂😂. No it’s not
That's edonism 3 or 4
Is the transportation 420 friendly?
Some are some aren’t. Some don’t even want you smoking in their vehicle. Just ask .
@@HanginWithPA Ok thank you
No problem
You didn't go to Jamaica....you went to a hotel located in Jamaica !!
Stop going to expensive hotels and rent a car and get out to the REAL Jamaica 🇯🇲
Don't have to rent but u defo need to look at a air bnb, cheaper overall getting a air bnb an buying all your meals from the local jerk man an resturants than doing all inclusive. They defo took you for ediyat ran your pockets once they herd the accent. I'm from London whenever I go Jamaica I already bring US$ for big purchases and JA$ for local food/taxi etc
Why, so you can't get robbed 🤡🤡?! No one's doing all that. There's a reason its setup that way. Don't act like its safe to do what you suggested. Tourists would end up losing everything taking your advice. But then again, you probably part of the muggers! 🤡
I went Jamaica last month first time, solo, no all inclusive. Everything walking distance. The all inclusives usually be on outskirts and need vehicle to get town
Next time ask questions before visiting a foreign country.
Good idea 😂
Would it make sense to get a rental car?
I thought about this BUT i believe they are a little expensive $400 US when I looked and if your not comfortable driving over seas (you will see how driving is done when you leave the airport, it’s a free for all) and god for bid your in accident, don’t know how that is all handled, I probably say I wouldn’t. Might be more of a pain in the long run.
@@HanginWithPA yeah, driving there might be a little challenging. I’m glad you highlighted the transportation concerns because I was wondering about all that since we would want to get out and explore as well as take some excursions.
We just paid the people, at the end of the day your on vacation enjoy it, just wish I would have known about the cost prior to going. Enjoy your stay 💪🏽🤙🏽
No rental car. It's much cheaper to take public transportation
Hmmm not a fan but thank you for the review
Also, I'm like ur wife; I like to heat-up my coffee and tea. My local hotel: Altamont Court on the strip has it!!
Good info thank you
But, one suggestion, look at the rooms and pick one, when you arrive, if possible. I like #205 by the office.
You cannot compare BREATHLESS or SECRETS with Altamont Court hotel. Besides being all-inclusive, both BREATHLESS & SECRETS are 4/5 star hotels, whereas Altamont is like 2 or 2.5 breakfast and bed. Altamont sit right on the road side with all the traffic noises of both vehicles and people. Then not to mention the amenities offered at Altamont which are nowhere close to the top two other hotels. Altamont is for travelers who just want a bed to sleep, with very little areas on the property to hang out for leisure.
@@f.marshall8268
I agree with everything you say!!! I have stayed in a number of all inclusive hotels & it's alot of money. If, it's ur 1st time, by all means yesssss!!! But, I come frequently and know how to move around. Altamont Court is more than a 2 star hotel. I always have a great experience & I'm very picky!!! But, they know me & always accommodate my needs,. All the way down to my breakfast.
Maybe rent a car next time?
I will not be going!
