    Mexico, but make it next-level. UNICO 20°87° isn’t just a hotel - it’s a no-holds-barred, adults-only playground where luxury is served with a twist of lime and a wink. This is Riviera Maya reimagined: a place where your poolside margarita comes with sea views, your room comes with a personal mixology bar, and your biggest decision of the day is beach or spa (spoiler: do both). Set on the powder-soft sands of Mexico’s Caribbean coast, UNICO 20°87° takes the whole ‘treat yourself’ thing and runs with it. Think locally-inspired cuisine across five top-tier restaurants – tacos at lunch, sushi or perfectly grilled steaks at dinner? Sí, por favor – plus handcrafted cocktails at every turn and a full-service spa where even the massages are part of the all-inclusive. Yep, you read that right. This isn’t just a getaway. It’s a full-on, five-star upgrade to your reality.

    10/10 would go again! Background: I’m 30yo, hadn’t been to a resort before, and I have been dealing with health issues and wanted something fun but not like RAVE PARTY.

    10/10 would go again! Background: I’m 30yo, hadn’t been to a resort before, and I have been dealing with health issues and wanted something fun but not like RAVE PARTY. I live in Chicago, if I want night life I can’t get it. I wanted sun and relaxation. The check-in process was great, the shared transportation was easy and being able to hang out with a drink while waiting for our room was awesome. The hotel is so clean, friendly, and easy to navigate. We were surprise upgraded to a swim up room! Our room was mostly ready, but the tablet was broken. I loved that they gave us the option to still go to our room and have them fix the tablet later. The room had a little bit of a musty smell and the chairs were stained but honestly didn’t bother us because it was still clean. I loved that they have a quiet pool and a party pool! And while they are close together, somehow they built it where the sounds don’t really travel. Our room was close to the pool and yet I could hear the waves instead of the pool. I also met Victoria the hawk who works as pest control and she did a great job! Seriously, not a fly or mosquito in sight. All of the workers are SO FRIENDLY and really take time to get to know you. We have uncommon food allergies (allium allergy and peppers allergy) and every single restaurant went ABOVE and beyond to make sure we could still eat an amazing meal. I had the most perfect potatoes in the Mexican restaurant. The chef even came out to make sure we were happy. Even poolside they took our allergies seriously. Not once did we feel like a burden. Our concierge was there to help with anything we need and she was so kind! It was really nice to have an assigned human I could text, it took a lot of pressure off and made me more relaxed. Thank you, Maria! I brought a stuffed animal with me and housekeeping and turn down service put him in cute places each day. We looked forward to it. The spa was DIVINE. Do not pass up a chance to do at least a massage. Seriously!!! The seaweed wasn’t raked so we didn’t spend much time on the beach, but ultimately didn’t need to. We didn’t engage in the activities because we were more focused on relaxing and eating. The house cocktails are super watered down, but if you ask for a shot or a cocktail not on the menu, you’ll get a normal amount of alcohol. Overall, I’m so happy I went! It was the perfect, personalized experience. Read less

    We have absolutely loved our stay here at Unico! But Eugenio the pool waiter was absolutely fabulous! He truly went above and beyond to make sure we always had cold bottled water, had a delicious drink in hand or food. Eugenio really made our stay a 10/10! Would come back just to see him!
