UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya
UNICO 20°87° is an adults-only, all-inclusive luxury boutique resort set along the pristine coastline of Riviera Maya. The property redefines all-inclusive through cultural immersion, locally-sourced cuisine, personalized Local Host service, and a focus on authentic Mexican experiences. With five main restaurants, multiple bars, and extensive pool and beach service, the resort offers sophisticated dining in an intimate setting.
UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya is a standalone property within the UNICO Hotel Collection. While the brand operates additional properties in Riviera Nayarit (UNICO 20°105°), Jamaica (UNICO 18°77° - in development), and Dominican Republic (in development), there is NO cross-property dining access between locations. Each UNICO property operates independently with its own distinct restaurants and dining programs. The properties are geographically separated (Riviera Maya and Riviera Nayarit are approximately 6 hours apart on opposite coasts of Mexico), making cross-property dining logistically impossible. All UNICO properties share signature amenities like Esencia Wellness Spa, Café Inez, Local Host concierge service, and 24-hour room service, but each location features unique restaurants tailored to its regional culinary traditions.
