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.

Second time staying here and it was great again. Seems like things have gotten even better since our last stay. More attention to detail. Love the daily turn down service and the all around service in this resort. Every morning Diego down at the pool helped us put towels out on the chairs and made us some towel pillows. Anderson at the swim up bar was an excellent friendly bartender. Food is pretty good for an all inclusive resort. Drinks are good just wish they had more variety of higher end alcohol available. Wasted 5 hours of my vacation going into the legendary vacation club meeting. Actually seemed pretty legit and intriguing from the sales man pitching it until it came down to the fine print. Would take my time back instead of the free massage. They’ll pitch this meeting to you at check in(enter at your own risk). Besides that highly recommend this resort for a nice peaceful stay.
