An Unforgettable Celebration
Our long-time college friends recently met at UNICO 20 87 in Riviera Maya to celebrate retirement, and it turned out to be one of the best trips we have ever taken together. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the staff at UNICO was there to make sure that we could relax, reconnect, watch IU win the Natty and celebrate a big life milestone. The property is very impressive, but what really made the trip special were the moments we shared: by the pool, on the beach, long conversations over awesome meals and of course plenty of laughter. We want to give a huge thank you to Isral and Roger, who truly became a part of our celebration. They didn't just provide GREAT service and made us feel cared for. Thank you for your million-dollar smile Isral! We also want to than beautiful and talented Amelia, you are so very talented and hardworking! We wish you the best in ALL of your careers. Also a shout out to Diego. Thank you for all of your help and your warm smile. UNICO 20 87 is the perfect place for a getaway with friends, or just couple's getaway. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Great resort - awesome staff!
We visited UNICO 2087 in January for a site inspection ahead of our wedding. We had a great time and felt so welcomed by the whole Unicorn staff and wedding team, as well as our host, Eduardo! Eduardo was incredibly knowledgeable and very responsive to all of our questions and needs! We can’t wait to go back with our family and friends to share UNICO 2087 with them!

An excellent 5 star facilities, accommodations, food and service experience.
This was our second visit to Unico 20 87. Employees including office staff, hosts, cleaners and grounds people were warm and friendly never failing to greet us as we passed by. Our local host, Amelia Marin was just superb; bubbly, enthusiastic and always eager to be of service, Amelia texted or visited with us each day to ensure we were having a great time. She responded promptly to our requests, forwarded daily activity schedules and suggested activities like the members dinner and the mixology class that we enjoyed. Jasmin, the hostess at 20 87 restaurant also made us feel very special. She greeted us with a smile, took us a table promptly and looked forward to seeing us at the next meal. She opened the door for us and even came out briefly to say wave goodbye on our last day. Jorge, our waiter at Avec restaurant was outstanding. He was super attentive to us and spoke to the chef who made up a gluten free onion soup for us. Another guest we spoke to recommended we ask for Jorge as he provided such excellent service. Overall, our vacation was an excellent 5 star experience. Every meal at each restaurant was a delightful experience. Facilities, accommodations and grounds were immaculate maintained and staff were warm and friendly.
