Guests can enjoy personal touches like custom scents, in-room mixology, beach hat painting, cooking classes, mixology classes, art experiences, and a more curated atmosphere than many larger all-inclusive resorts.
Three pools, three different moods
UNICO has three pools, and choosing your pool for the day depends on your vacation personality.
La UNICA Pool
The balanced pool. Music is playing, but it is not overly rowdy. Great for guests who want energy without chaos.
2087 Pool
The most energetic pool, closest to the ocean, with a swim-up bar, DJ, live music, aqua spinning, and aqua aerobics.
La Escondida Pool
The quiet pool. Best for guests who want a calm, relaxed, zen pool day with a swim-up bar nearby.
Every room has either a swim-up or soaking tub
UNICO keeps rooms simple but elevated. The main room types are Alcoba rooms and Estancia suites, with the biggest differences being view, location, and layout.
Alcoba Swim-Up
Ground-level swim-up suites with direct pool access. Great for couples who love spending time outside their room.
Alto Panoramic
The best option for travelers who want the most reliable ocean views. Panoramic rooms are top-floor rooms with stronger views.
Estancia Suite
Larger suite with living area, terrace, soaking tub, and more space. Best for couples wanting a roomier luxury stay.
One of UNICO’s biggest strengths
UNICO is a strong fit for travelers who care about food, cocktails, and a more elevated dining experience.
Cueva Siete
One of the signature dining experiences, inspired by regional Mexican flavors and elevated presentation.
Restaurant Variety
Five restaurants plus a coffee shop give guests several polished dining options for shorter stays.
Crafted Cocktails
UNICO does cocktails very well, with mixology-focused bars, premium ingredients, and local spirits.
What the UNICO host actually does
UNICO assigns guests a host, also known as an Anfitrión. This is helpful, but expectations matter.
Your host can assist with reservations, questions, resort details, special requests, and personalization. However, they are not a traditional butler waiting on you hand and foot.
A polished adults-only wedding resort
UNICO 20°87° is a beautiful fit for couples who want an adults-only destination wedding with elevated food, stylish design, a relaxed atmosphere, and a more sophisticated guest experience.
Wedding Week Fit
Best for adult-only weddings, foodie couples, luxury-leaning groups, smaller to mid-size celebrations, and guests who appreciate a more refined atmosphere.
Wedding Venue Highlights
UNICO offers a mix of beachfront, terrace, garden, and event spaces that work beautifully for elevated destination wedding celebrations.
