The food and drinks and staff were all wonderful- which for an all-inclusive isn't very easy to come by. Our room and amenities were beautiful and clean. Our only complaint was the check in process was a bit long and involved too many people. But once we were past that, it was very well worth the money.

Beautiful all inclusive resort . Many choices of food and drink. Exceptional and truly amazing staff. Love the ambiance of the rooms. Love the location. Visited for a long weekend for a family destination wedding. Would love to return for a full week in the future. It’s very affordable and not overpriced. You’re treated like you spent a million dollars! Tipping is not expected but certainly appreciated. The wait staff, bartenders and waiters really go the extra mile to serve you and make sure you’re taken care of. They work their butts off with a smile. We made sure to leave a daily tip for housekeeping as they do a wonderful service. We also left tips for bartenders and anyone else going above and beyond. Which was mostly everyone. The staff is truly wonderful and gracious. Read less

After staying at Unico it's no surprise why they are a AAA5 Diamond resort. From the moment we arrived until the time we departed we were treated to excellent service, fantastic accommodations, fun activities, pools galore, and innovative food. Well worth it. Two people specifically made the experience even better. The first was our host Deysi. Exceptional! She was our assigned go to person. Questions, how do I's, can you help me get a reservation, I need things pressed, she's without a doubt great at her job. Second is Melissa. She works breakfast and lunch at Restaurant 20 87. She's very personable and fantastic. She engaged in conversation to get to know us and that makes a person feel special. Her attention to detail in service was fantastic! Unico is anazing. Read less

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Unico. This was our second visit and another positive experience. We really like the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. We stayed in an ocean front panoramic king suite. The view was spectacular and we were lucky to be located in a corner, which meant no traffic past our room. We found the food to be excellent. I would advise to make all your dinner reservations prior to arrival. Our absolute favorite restaurant was Mura, so much so that we ate there 3 times. We ordered off the menu twice and once we did the Teppanyaki. The grounds and resort public areas are meticulously maintained. The only exception we noticed was that all the suite buildings’ walls and passageways desperately need new paint. The outdoor furniture and patio area of the steakhouse are in need of some repair. The maid service was excellent and they honored our request for late turndown service. I want to commend some of the wonderful staff. First and foremost, our local host, Mario. He went above and beyond every day to ensure we were happy and well cared for. Every request was honored with a smile. Mario is in great part responsible for our fantastic stay. Other exceptional staff include: Patricia, a breakfast waitress at 2087 Grill. She was absolutely delightful to talk to and by our third day, we requested to be seated in her section. Diana, the Mura hostess. She greeted us with much enthusiasm and made us feel special and welcome. Rosa, a pool attendant. She provided excellent service and helped us maintain shade. Elvira and Lizbeth, quiet pool waitresses. Both came by to see us frequently to check on our needs. Thank you, Unico and Mario, for a wonderful vacation in your gorgeous country. Read less

The Resort is well maintained. The food is excellent. If you are looking for a relaxing and regenerating experience this is the perfect place for you. It is an adults only property so it is a slower quieter pace. We has two of the best Butlers on our stay. Javier and Rodrigo.

The Resort is well maintained. The food is excellent. If you are looking for a relaxing and regenerating experience this is the perfect place for you. It is an adults only property so it is a slower quieter pace. We has two of the best Butlers on our stay. Javier and Rodrigo. They go on h extra mile to make sure everything we need is taken care of! From setting or changing dinner reservations. If you want to do some off property excursions. Need a taxi. Or set up airport transfers. They are on top of it! This is our 4 th time at UNICO. Javier and Rodrigo always make sure our stay is perfecto. Their commitment to their guests really shines through. Can’t wait to see them next year! Read less
