Unico 20 87 Hotel Riviera Maya

Boek dit als You want a boutique, adults-only all-inclusive where the food is actually edible and you prefer a killer pool scene over a swimmable beach.

Waarom mensen ervan houden

  • No wristbands—it feels like a hotel, not a cattle ranch
  • The 'unlimited' inclusions (spa, tours) are a legit perk, even with the 25% service fee
  • Local Host service that handles your reservations via WhatsApp

Snel Overzicht: A stunning, design-forward resort that nails the food and vibes but completely fails on the beach front.

Beoordeeld door @Reggieloves: I stayed in this Ocean Front Suite at Unico 20 87 and the terrace was unreal. Having a private tub right next to the ocean while listening to the waves was the highlight of my trip. It's the perfect spot for a romantic escape.

Gast die hier verbleef zei

The hype

Travelers rave about the 'relaxed luxury' aesthetic and the food quality, which punches way above typical all-inclusive weight.

Reality check

The 'quiet pool' (La Sombra) still has a swim-up bar, so don't expect library-level silence if a group is day-drinking.

  • You are a foodie who usually hates all-inclusive buffets
  • You prefer a curated, boutique vibe over a sprawling mega-resort
  • You love spa days and don't mind paying the 25% fee for 'included' treatments

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips

Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.

Is the beach really that bad?

Yes. It's rocky, narrow, and often full of seaweed. Think of it as a nice backdrop for the pool, not a place to swim.

What is the 25% service fee?

You get 'unlimited' spa, golf, and tours, but you must pay a 25% fee on the retail price of each service. A $300 massage will cost you $75.

Do I need to tip?

It's an all-inclusive, so tips are technically included, but staff work hard and cash tips ($1-5 for drinks, more for spa/housekeeping) go a long way.

Is the water in the pools heated?

Yes, the pools are heated, which is a lifesaver during cooler winter months or breezy evenings.

Can I drink the tap water?

No. Stick to the bottled water provided daily in your room and used at all restaurants.

Is there a dress code for dinner?

Yes. 'Casual Elegance' is the norm. No flip-flops or swimsuits. Men usually need long pants and collared shirts for Cueva Siete and Mi Carisa.

Tips van Insiders

  • ✨

    Ask your Local Host for the 'pillow menu' and 'aromatherapy menu' upon arrival to customize your room scent.

  • ✨

    The hydrotherapy circuit at the spa is often included with treatments—arrive 45 minutes early to use it.

  • ✨

    Order the churros from room service—they are a cult favorite among past guests.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat

  • 💡The 'quiet pool' (La Sombra) has a swim-up bar, so it's only as quiet as the drunkest group there.

  • 💡You can get custom-painted hats by local artisans near the pool (sometimes for a fee, sometimes included as an activity).

  • 💡The 'ocean view' from the 2nd floor is mostly a 'palm tree view'—go higher.

  • 💡Room service breakfast is excellent and a great way to avoid the morning buffet rush.

  • 💡The gym is surprisingly legit, open 24/7 with LifeFitness equipment and daily classes like floating yoga.
