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.

Santiago at the bar outside was the highlight of our trip to Unico! He was genuine, funny, and an outstanding bartender! We had a great time getting to know him and enjoyed all of his drinks! He’s the best at Unico!

Incredible resort, wonderful service, and great food and drink. From check in to check out, service was excellent. Mendoza, our host, was always willing to help or assist us daily. The rooms were terrific, comfortable bed, plenty of pillows, and smelled like a spa. The tub on the porch was an extra treat. The grounds and food were great, with exception to dessert. The only dessert we liked all trip was the ice cream. The champagne trolly was disappointing because it came at an extra charge, and all inclusive resorts should not consistently offer items with up-charges in my opinion. The “legends” presentation wasn’t as bad as expected. The reviews made it seem horrible, but we escaped within 2 hours, and felt respected. The “credit” earned by the presentation was disappointing. You can only use it in the spa, and EVERYTHING in the spa was grossly overpriced. We loved the pool and fun atmosphere. One of my favorite special touches was the key to your room being on a bracelet. It sounds simple, but it made life so much more convenient. Overall a wonderful trip, and I’d definitely return or try their other properties! Read less
