GIRLTRIP2018 ~ TURNT UP @ BREATHLESS MONTEGO BAY


GIRLTRIP2018 ~ TurnT Up @ BREATHLESS MONTEGO BAY  Should you choose the Breathless property in Montego Bay, Jamaica for your Girltrip? The answer is definitely,YES!
                                      RELAX, UNWIND & RENEW    
                                   

Breathless Montego Bay is adult-only, all-inclusive hotel brand, focuses on millennials and Gen Xers, and perfect for a GirlTrip.
I’m a huge fan of Jamaica & Breathless Montego Bay is the choice spot for YTCNaples ~ GirlTrip 2018.  
The fun doesn’t stop at Breathless; from the bi-weekly foam parties to masquerade parties on the Altitudes desk with 360 views of Montego Bay, Breathless knows how to put on a party atmosphere. The music is mostly Techno upbeat some Reggae infused.
And ladies, just think 24/7 access to premium spirits, gourmet food, and superb personal service in luxurious tropical locales?  On past stays to the resort I had seen other Bachlorette parties, “I said NO parties” and just a totally fun vibe going on here at Breathless so, I thought about it for a second or two and decided on Breathless Montego Bay for the first Annual GripTrip2018.    I knew I needed to check it out since I’m a boomer as are many of my girlfriends. A fun night was the  “silent disco party” in the lobby bar. What a blast. (Everyone has Bluetooth earphones to hear the DJ, and you have an option to have your own station as well. Party on girls!
Sofrito’s for dinner offered many delicious options with an option to incorporate what you like into the meal. I’m pretty picky so I’m also asking to change the menu (LOL), this didn’t seem to be a problem here. Fishnets for lunch offered wonderful whole fish option which was right up my alley and for my friends who are somewhat picky eaters, they proved to be a great lunch option. The Beachside Bar & restaurant is small but delicious and let me just say the drinks were perfected and Oh So Good!    No complaints in the culinary department and again, I am a foodie & picky about what eat & drink.
With access to all of the restaurants, bars&lounges and entertainment at Secrets Montego Bay, Breathless Montego Bay is a WIN WIN for your next GirlTrip!  We went from one fun resort to another. This really was a nice feature having access to 3 resorts.  The other restaurants that SECRETS offer are Asian, Mexican, Jamaican, French, Italian, Continental & International buffets and 24/7 Coco CafΓ© as well as 24/7 room service.  I love the JerkMan Calvin. He has some of the tastiest Jerk on the island. There are so many places to eat and drink you’ll need more than week to try them all. And for those staying in the Preferred Club sections of both Secrets resorts there, they also get access to Breathless. The program is called “exchange privileges” so bring your appetite.
The beauty of staying at Breathless Montego Bay is you change the vibe depending on your mood. Love Love Love the rooftop pool & pool bar. The libations flow & the view is the BEST in Montego Bay. It’s the best view & the only rooftop bar in all of Montego Bay.

BREATHLESS has modern feel, very modern.
On entering the beautiful lobby I was immediately drawn by the loud thumping beat coming from the water circuit surrounded by a massive ‘sound barrier’ wall. We quickly changed into our bikinis and ventured out to see what all the excitement was. Well word is, it’s the best party in Montego Bay and I’m pretty sure the staff and the guest will be talking about the Monday September 24th party for quit some time. LOL. No more on that! You must go and see for yourself. LOL. Twerking – Jerking and libations flowing. There is no place at 3pm I’d rather be in Montego Bay!
Onto the Room Accommodations. So cool, trendy and chic.
Breathtaking is what these rooms are. These rooms are Chic & Sexy and fun. They have ipad to control a/c, lighting, order room service and reality is, they’ve perfected the Chic&Sexy feel in their rooms.
In-room mood lighting can be changed with the flick of a switch. I loved the mood lighting options.You can program a color, mood and so many other options.
It’s a very sexy feeling room. 1 king or 2 doubles All with either a Tropical view or the Bayview.  I found the giant glass cube shower in the middle of the room rather sexy and they do have a drop shade for those a bit shy, just hit the button that rolls down a hidden shade on one wall. Also, there is a motion sensor that senses you’re going to the washroom in the middle of the night and turns on a light automatically. 
I love this ~ you can also order room service digitally and never speak to or see a soul if you have them drop it into the secret box. The server opens the door on the hall end and you open your door from inside your room. Privacy for those who wish to have it.

The spacious balcony has a big day bed lounger that is easy to fall asleep on. Im pretty sure one of my girls woke after 1am to find herself there .  You really could have your own foam party in the oversized Jacuzzi tub on the balcony as well.  
If you have a BUTLER – (all XHALE Oceanview or higher accommodations do), use him for everything!. {We can request LEON for you. He’s wonderful}

Again, remember when you stay at Breathless Montego Bay, you also have full access to not one, but TWO other Secrets resorts right next door! Three resorts in one.
This is a MUST for you next GirlFriend Escape to Paradise. Ask for more information ! We are planning our GirlTrip2019 and will announce that soon. Let me know if you are interested.
