Unico 20 87 Hotel Riviera Maya

Riviera Maya, Mexico

Star rating

The hotel

Mexico, but make it next-level. UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya isn’t just a hotel - it’s an adults-only resort 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 personalised mini-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 influenced by the region. This isn’t just a getaway. It’s a full-on, five-star upgrade to your reality.

Room and resort were all beautiful. We never had a bad meal—service in a couple of the restaurants was slow from time to time but overall, attentive, well meaning servers. Food was above and beyond what one would get an all inclusive. Attention to detail with our local host, Laura Flores, was top notch. Overall, we highly recommend!

Quick bite or full sit down meal, the food did not disappoint . My daughter got married there and the ceremony, reception and other events were Awesome. The dedicated wedding planner was a huge plus and ensured that all details were handled and was there until the very last guest left. Great place for a destination wedding. Read less

My husband and I recently came to Unico for our honeymoon from the UK. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this hotel if you are looking for a relaxing break with top quality customer service. If your priority is nightlife and partying, then this won't so much be the resort for you. The staff are incredible (shoutout to Alberto, one of the pool waiters - he's the best), and the service at the whole hotel was excellent. The staff are super friendly and really take care of you. Our concierge was Luis Angel, who was very friendly and helpful. He helped us book a few excursions via the hotel. Food was excellent as well - our favourite restaurants were Mi Carisa and Mura House. The hotel is beautiful, very clean and there is plenty going on during the day by the poolside. We loved the hat service and brought our hats home with us as souvenirs. Cons we would mention: - The resort does have a corporate-feel to it and not as romantic as we would have hoped for our honeymoon. There were corporate events or a wedding on almost every day we were there. The staff did provide some honeymoon perks though. - Nightlife is very limited and there are only two bars; but we knew this going into the holiday from doing our research beforehand. - Our room had a couple of minor faults - one of the plug sockets and charging station beside the bedside weren't working, and the WiFi was very poor. - The beach - we went during seaweed season and the sea wasn't swim-able, but nothing to do with the hotel / not their fault. Despite these minor things, we had an incredible time and would recommend this resort! Read less

This was our 5th trip to UNICO since 2020. Once again this place knocked it out of the park. The service was impeccable and the food amazing. If you want a beautiful chilled adult only all inclusive that delivers a 5 stat experience try out UNICO. You will not be disappointed.

My Concierge, Laura, was great! She took care of all my requests in a timely, accurate manner. I love the friendliness of the resort staff and cleanliness of the resort! This is my third visit to the resort since 2019 and the resort has maintained it's beauty and great level of service!
