Location is at the heart of the UNICO 20˚87˚ experience, which is why they’ve put the latitude and longitude of the hotel in the name – 20˚N 87˚ W

This is a new category of all-inclusive. Set on the stunning white sand beaches of Riviera Maya, this game-changing adults-only hotel immerses guests into the local scene right on-site. Locally-inspired cocktails and cuisine are just the start; enjoy the artwork in the room that reflects modern Mexico, the holistic spa and wellness center using traditional and locally-inspired beauty rituals, and excursions out beyond the hotel that are not only encouraged but are even included.

Here, you get a local host who will provide an added level of personalized service with the bonus of acting as an insider guide to the local area. They will assist you in everyday needs and let you in on the region’s best-kept secret spots.

Cuisine is a Dish Best Served Local

When in Rome, right? How about, when in Riviera Maya? UNICO 20˚ 87˚ asks that question and definitely answers it.

Dining at UNICO 20° 87° is not a singular experience, but rather a multi-sensory adventure, with constantly changing tastes, textures, and sensations. With locally-sourced ingredients at every restaurant, UNICO 20˚ 87˚ puts a Mexican spin on several different types of cuisines from all around the world. Ranging from elegant dining to casual beachside bites, the culinary experience here has one constant throughout: quality.

Currently spearheaded by Executive Chef Christian Bravo, the restaurant Cueva Siete serves up innovative modern Mexican dishes. As part of a rotating chef program, Christian Bravo is the first to make his mark, with other world-renowned chefs to follow in his culinary footsteps. This exciting restaurant is named for the seven origin caves of Mayan myth – aka, it’s as local as it gets, deriving its inspiration from the region’s history. The Mexican cuisine here features authentic dishes that range from classics to concoctions that are brand-new.

For Italian with a local spin, grab a seat at Mi Carisa, an ode to those sleepy coastline towns hugging the Mediterranean. At this restaurant you can find wood-oven pizza, pasta dishes, cheese plates, and other classics in a warm, intimate setting. Mura House takes its inspiration from regions throughout Asia with a focus on Japan, creating a balance between traditional dishes and those that are uniquely fresh. Restaurant 20.87 is situated on the beach-side of the hotel, and offers a casual buffet breakfast (including house-baked Mexican pastries) and grill classics into the evening, serving up choice cuts of steak and fish. The Inez Café is the spot for fresh juices, coffee, tea, sandwiches, paninis, salads, and baked goods when you need that quick fix.

Throughout each restaurant, quality is key – and always locally inspired. At the Palmera Lounge and Bar Balam, you can find meticulously crafted cocktails and a selection of top shelf spirits.
