Set on a beautiful white sand beach in Rivera Maya, UNICO 20°87° creates a memorable moment from the time you pass the gate and wind through the long driveway into a luxurious paradise. You’ll see the details as everyone welcomes you in this marvelous and inviting lobby.

The grounds are beautiful and placed between what appears to be a tropical forest and a stunning turquoise-blue ocean with beautiful walkways leading from the property to the beach. The beach is on the small side but intimate and long with plenty of room for lounges and walking along the sand without running into people. The sand is fine, white, and wonderful. If you are worried about sargassum, I saw tractors daily cleaning the beach. No promises for your stay but this was an excellent sign!

Walking the property you will hear the sounds of birds with beautiful plumage, spot iguanas, and if you are lucky, you might get to see a coati roaming by. Upon arrival, you are greeted with a beverage and a local host to help you check in. Yes, it is luxurious but in a very relaxed and unpretentious way. Inviting, beautiful, full of local art, upscale, and well done.

The hotel embraces the local food and customs but expands upon the theme with a variety of enticing restaurants. The spa also uses local herbs and elements in the treatments they offer. Comfort is the name of the game here and with custom bath amenities, a fully-equipped fitness center, 24-hour room service, and a local host to assist with your needs.

A variety of included activities from salsa dancing and chocolate classes to beach walks and Shaman rituals are available. They have so many activities that I have a dedicated blog about the experiences you can have here. With all of these activities, don't worry if you are traveling solo, you will have a great time too!

The 20 87 pool is lined with Cabanas, chaise lounges, and round bed-type chaises. It hosts a swim-up bar, volleyball area, basketball area, and of course nearby hot tubs. There are several pools including a quiet pool area with its own swim-up bar and food situated behind the 20 87 Restaurant.

As far as rooms, 90% have ocean views. Some have a view of the pool and ocean and others have a full view of the ocean. My room was on the 4th floor with a view of the pool, the grounds, and the ocean. Having a cup of coffee from the Nespresso machine provided or room service and looking out over the balcony was such a calming and joyful experience. At night some of the pools are lit in a beautiful blue light and are stunning. In the morning you will watch the sunrise over the water and the colors on the hotel with a gorgeous orange hue. Just lovely. Sunsets are equally incredible. The room is well stocked with everything you need and check out the blog on the rooms at this resort for more detail.
