UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya
The original UNICO: an adults-only beachfront resort in Akumal, built around the culture of the Mexican Caribbean.
Why we love it
- A real sense of place. Locally inspired food and cocktails, custom furniture and local art in every room, so you feel like you are in Mexico, not just at a resort.
- A Local Host for every room. Your host handles restaurant, cabana, spa, golf and tour reservations, and even packing, unpacking and getting your spa tub ready.
- Signature tours. UNICO's own curated excursions to the cenotes, Tulum and beyond.
- Room to relax. Three pools, two swim-up bars and a spa with 26 treatment rooms.
