We just got back from Breathless and used all the properties. The evening activities have a laid-back piano bar feel. I was disappointed, because several of the items listed above are complimentary at most comparable resorts. There are on-site activities that cost a small fee, such as: parasailing, tubing, knee boarding, waterskiing, banana boating, glass bottom boats, snorkeling trips, bottom fishing, and deep-sea fishing.

There are several free activities the resort offers, such as: guided snorkeling, stand up paddleboards, kayaks, and wind surfing. However, I’m going to let you know I’m from Texas so……I’m extremely picky. A lot, of people loved the Mexican food restaurant. This was cut up hamburger tomatoes with thin slice of cheese on top. Chicken Cordon Blu was extremely dry and flavorless. For those of you who do not want to dress up for dinner every night while on vacation, this spot is for you.
Most all-inclusives are extremely picky with their dinner dress code, but we never had that issue at this resort. As far as “dress code” we wore shorts and flip flops almost every night. Nope, I’ve been to Jamaica and the food has always been excellent. I was told maybe the food was bad because it’s in Jamaica. I couldn’t find one restaurant or one good “go to item” on the trip. I wouldn’t say my standards are super high, but I prefer savory food. I spoke with several friends on the vacation and they LOVED the food. Sadly, we tried every restaurant and I starved most of the vacation. There is one restaurant that requires a reservation in advance, which is the Himitsu (Asian). The two resorts share the same restaurants and they have several resturants to select from, such as: Seaside Grill (by the pool), Bordeaux (French), Blue Mountain (Jamaican), El Patio (Mexican), Portofino (Italian), and World Cafe (buffet). The food is included, hence “all-inclusive” resort. Do not worry, it never gets too wild or crazy. This is the perfect spot to enjoy the music and fun atmosphere.
If you are looking for comfort, I suggest relaxing on a pool bench at one of the two pools on property. On a side note, the benches on the beach are not as comfortable as the ones at the pool. We even saw the life guard pick up a jellyfish to prove to us it was 100% safe. but do not fear! Those Jellyfish do not sting. The beaches at this resort in Jamaica are stunning! I love how calm the clear water is along with all of the amazing views of the mountains! The hostess will continue to provide you with free drinks, so don’t forget to sit back and enjoy them! Also, on a rainy day, you will see clear jelly fish swimming around. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the room was cleaned everyday, which is extremely rare post-COVID, because it seems like most resorts are trying to save money by eliminating daily house cleaning. Unfortunately, the room did not come with robes, which is strange considering the resort is considered a “luxury resort”. Most importantly, the rooms come with a fully stocked fridge, coffee maker with coffee/tea supplies, and steamer for clothes (jack pot). You can’t help but feel like a king or queen after taking luxurious bubble baths with views of the ocean. However, on a brighter note, there isn’t anything more relaxing than sitting on those balcony chairs, while sipping some coffee in the morning enjoying amazing views of the emerald green water. Sadly, the WIFI can be spotty throughout the resort. They are spacious yet cozy, with all sorts of modern amenities for guest convenience including complimentary WIFI, which works best in your room. The rooms are exactly what you would want in such an upscale establishment. Not everyone wants to hang out with the young party crowd and vice-versa. This is 100% my perception, and as a travel agency owner I will let my clients know my perception. I do believe these resorts are geared towards older couples who are expecting a relaxing vacation. I did notice the crowds at both resorts seem to be around 50 plus. We spent most of our times at both pools and both were equally beautiful. For the record, I did not see a difference between the Wild Orchid side verses the St James side. Guests of either resort have “free flow” access that allows them do explore both properties at will! Both share the same restaurants and shopping centers. James, offers visitors a more peaceful and relaxing retreat, while Secrets Wild Orchid is the place for those looking to party.
