If you’ve ever dreamed of an all inclusive resort that feels boutique and bougie at the same time, let me introduce you to the new love of my life ahem... I mean... just a little resort called UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya. This adults-only resort is where modern luxury meets authentic Mexican culture. They have REALLY thought of EVERYTHING. If theres something you hate about all Inclusive resorts- The Unico brand is there to flip that on it's head. Handcrafted cocktails, local artwork in every room, and service that goes way beyond “buffet and beach chair" is just the start of what makes Unico UNIQUE.

And yes, every single room comes with a local host. Like your personal concierge (think Butler category, but better).



What’s Included at UNICO 20°87° all inclusive resort

When you hear “all-inclusive,” your mind probably goes to endless buffets and watered-down cocktails. UNICO flips that on its head with elevated inclusions:

  • Top-shelf cocktails crafted with fresh ingredients (their mixology program is a vibe).

  • Unlimited dining at five restaurants, ranging from authentic Mexican to coastal Italian.

  • Local host service in every room category. They’ll handle dinner reservations, spa bookings, room preferences, and even laundry pressing.

  • Wellness activities like yoga, meditation, and beachfront fitness.

  • Artisan experiences from local art tours to craft workshops.

  • Live entertainment with a focus on authentic Mexican culture.

  • Non-motorized water sports (think paddleboards, snorkeling, kayaks).

  • 24-hour room service that’s actually delicious.


Morgan's tip: Your host can customize your minibar with your favorites: tequila, rosé, sparkling water, you name it. Don’t be shy about asking!

What Does It Cost?


Here’s the tea: UNICO is luxury, but it’s not “sell your kidney” luxury.

  • A 5-night stay for two adults typically averages $3,800 – $4,500, depending on season and room category.

  • That price includes all the dining, drinks, activities, and your host service. So once you’re there, you’re not nickel-and-dimed.


Morgan says: Watch for shoulder season (late April, early May, or September). Prices dip, the weather is still gorgeous, and the resort feels less crowded.


Room Categories You’ll Love


Every room at UNICO feels like a modern, airy sanctuary with local touches (handcrafted headboards, art from Riviera Maya creatives, Straw hats in your room you can have painted and customized by a local artist).


Highlights:

  • Alcoba Swim-Up Pool – because who doesn’t want to roll out of bed and into the water?

  • Estancia Suite – insane space with a living room and the kind of bathroom you’ll never want to leave.

And remember: no matter which category you book, you get your local host.

Insider Tips from Me to You

  • Request a pillow menu from your host. Yes, it's a thing!

  • Use the host for spa discounts. They often know when treatments are running specials.

  • Book excursions through UNICO’s app (they integrate directly with your host service).

  • Don’t skip Cueva Siete their signature Mexican restaurant.

  • Upgrade to swim up if you can. They will have staff to service you while lounging In your own pool. Thats like next level service!

Why I Recommend UNICO

If you want a resort that feels stylish, modern, and SO elevated but still warm and approachable UNICO is that girl. It’s not about over-the-top glam or being “seen.” It’s about thoughtful details, authentic culture, and service that makes you see the FULL story of the

resort and the people around It.

And honestly? Once you stay here, the idea of a cookie-cutter all-inclusive just won’t cut it anymore. Sorry not sorry for ruining you forever.
