I've stayed at the Riu before-it was nice but overrated and did not have the same level of entertainment and staff that Breezes does. Ashley, Crystal, Snake, Bullet, Swish & David to name a few were fantastic and always made sure I was having a great time. Nevado-the trapese guy was amazing to say the least and Funky D, and the summer Breeze band were fantastic. They even allowed me to sing with the band one night. There was also the most amazing guy who played the saxaphone and a singer named Puzzle there one night who were great to say the least .

To top things off, I was in one of the nicest, newly renovated rooms with a plasma TV that was gorgeous and very clean.

We also made the aquaintance of PH (the entertainment staff manager and Jerry) who made sure that I had everything I desired (without hesitation) while there.

Overall-I think the entertainment staff makes Breezes so special and I will no longer stay anywhere else as I felt like I was at home and well taken care of at all times.

There was a wide variety of food at all times and I was able to dine in one of the a la carte restaurants one evening. When I told the hostess that it was my birthday, she brought out a whole birthday cake for me (not just a slice of cake-a whole cake) and had the restaurant singing Happy Birthday at the end of my meal. You can never go hungry there either as there is free flowing food and drinks at all times.

The Piano bar was very relaxing whenever I felt I needed to just kick back and listen to some old school tunes. Hurricanes (the on site club) left me feeling as though I really did not need to leave the resort to have a night out-everything is right there at the resort.

All in all-it was the best trip ever for me and I would highly recommend it to anyone-young or old.

My wife is a travel agent and gets the travel agent rate at this hotel of $85 per person per night. Even a that price, based on the pictures and reviews, we would never stay here. We would have saved $1500 compared to other people and we said screw this!

As usual staff fantastic. Greet you like old friends. Makeda, Polo, Clarice, Funky D and Summer Breeze. Ashley, Jarvis, Charleen.
Couldn't ask for a better time. Great room - ocean view. Entertainment staff fantastic, especially Makeda.
Only dislike this trip was buffet dining was changed to a la carte 2 of the nights we were there. We definitely prefer the buffet. Hope this change isn't permanent because it might keep us from going "Home" to Breezes again.

What a great place ! I do not understand how anyone can complain about this place. I will admit I was a bit concerned prior to arriavl due to all the bad reviews I had read but I can honestly say I have no complaints ! We had an ocean front suite that was a nice size and was clean. No issues with hot water or room not being cleaned as others have wrote.
I found the whole hotel in general, clean and in order. Great selection of food from the bufett. We ate at both resturants, I felt the Garden of Eden was the better of the two and I had no problem getting reservations for either of them. The entertainment staff is great ! I would go back to Breezes anytime!
Amazing hotel along with an amazing freindly staff!! I look forward to returing to Breezes for many years to come.
