We stayed at Breathless, it was beautiful, friendly, very clean. Our room was amazing, comfortable bed, house keeping was wonderful. The pools were fun and relaxing. The beach was easily accessible and fun activities daily. Everything you need is at your finger tips. Towels, food, booze everyone is there to help you relax. The 1st thing we did was book a couples massage, which I highly recommend! It instantly puts you into vacation mode. We booked The Monkey Land excursion, which was aFANTASTIC experience.

Reviewed By Lisa N - Amherst, NY | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta ~ Jalisco ~ Mexico
Many thanks to Denise for putting together a fantastic vacation for my family and me. I have always planned our family vacations, so placing this incredible task in someone else's hands was challenging. I searched for multiple reasons to worry, but Denise was so knowledgeable and reassuring that she made it easy to trust her expertise. She selected the location as well as the resort. Both were breathtaking and felt as if this was exactly where we should be.
When East coast weather forced our connecting flight to cancel, Denise secured two rooms so we could go to another lovely hotel when we landed. She just made everything so much easier. I cannot praise her enough for her kindness and her service. I will never plan another vacation ever again. Thank you many times over, Denise.
