Set on the stunning white beaches of Riviera Maya, UNICO 20°87° immerses guests in the culture of the region, from the locally-inspired cocktails and cuisines to the art in the rooms. Three unique pools and holistic spa and wellness center drive home a sense of relaxed luxury, while exciting pop-up events insert a touch of spontaneity into the experience.

AIC’s adults-only Unico 20º87º resort prides itself on the cultural embrace of its destination, Riviera Maya. From artwork to architecture, gastronomic experience to unique mixology, the cultural imprint of the Riviera Maya is evident within the property’s walls. 

"Since its opening six years ago, UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya has elevated the all-inclusive experience in Mexico with innovative events including gastronomy, art by local artisans, and now wellness," says Ash Tembe, vice president of sales and marketing at AIC Hotel Group told TravelPulse earlier this year when the hotel launched its Aura Wellness journey.

Mexican culture is the main influence on the gastronomy of Unico. The property withholds an initiative to keep this influence and create an authentic Mexican experience, for both the local and the traveler. Savour food inspired by everything that is Yucatecan at Cueva Siete, exquisite cocktails at Bar Balam, or order in and enjoy tasty meals from your own hotel room.

UNICO Riviera Maya's extensive restaurant offer ranges from buffets made up of casual food dishes to sophisticated culinary creations of the author. The award-winning chef Lula Martín del Campo, one of those responsible for creating the dishes at the Cueva Siete Restaurant, is based on a gastronomic concept that integrates elements of Mexican cuisine such as beans, corn and other endemic products that pay homage to the mysticism of the Mayan culture.

TravelPulse Canada visited the property in September 2022, where we got an inside look at the rooms and the gastronomy program, which includes fun and free cocktail making classes.

There’s no place like Unico 20º87º to indulge in your favorite meals!
