The facility is beautiful. It is maintained and clean at all times. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so helpful, friendly and accommodating. Any celebrations, needs or wants were always first and foremost from each staff member we met. Our favorites were Sophia and our local host Laura Flores. She was always easily accessible to us. We were celebrating our anniversary, Mother’s Day and my husband’s birthday. Laura personally brought the celebration to our room! How special is that?! We would highly recommend going to Unico, and hopefully you will have Laura as your host!!! Read less

I recently visited Unico for a wedding and the entire week was a fantastic and memorable experience. The food and drinks were excellent, the rooms, pools, amenities and facilities were all top notch. As for the wedding itself, all of the staff were extremely professional and handled everything with the precision and care that is needed for an important event like this. The wait staff and bartenders were quick and attentive. The DJ (Mills James) was fantastic and kept just the right energy and vibe to ensure all the guests stayed engaged and enjoyed themselves. JJ studios did the photography and videography were very professional and did a wonderful job capturing all of the right moments and were also able to showcase the beautiful surroundings. Read less

UNICO 2087 is our FAVORITE resort in Mexico! The food overall is good. The grounds are stunning! Fitness Center is small, but really nice & clean! They offer great group fitness classes inside as well as cardio dance (outside), water aerobics (which is FANTASTIC and FUN), and water spin in the pool! The entertainment staff who teach the classes are phenomenal. Pools are wonderful, especially on POOL PARTY days! The DJ, who has been there for years, is really talented. Pool food is pretty darned good for pool food. The wood fired pizzas and calzones are amazing. If you are a diehard beach person, this resort may not be for you. Don't get me wrong, there is a beach, but it is not as big as say in Cancun. What makes UNICO 2087 MOST amazing is the impeccable service from the staff, of which I would like to compliment some by name as they are that wonderful. Over time, they have become like family. BALAM BAR: Alberto (bartender), Rico (bartender), Maricella (waitstaff); Beatrice (waitstaff). Pool concierge: Rosy, Maria, and Gabriel (whom I am sad is leaving to go to AVA, but super happy for him!) Pool waitstaff: Cony and Lucia. Lucia has left. Her last day was when we were there 3 weeks ago. She was super sweet and an amazing server! I feel she deserves recognition. Hoping one day Lucia returns. She loved her job! Massage therapists: Drucilla and Yolanda, best massages I have ever had! Butlers: Rodrigo and Javier, phenomenal service. Local host: Alejandro, whom we have known since he was a pool concierge. One of the hardest workers I have ever met. He was actually the first staff we met. Such a sweetheart and caring young man. UNICO 2087 restaurant server: Clau. Mi Carissa hostess: Diana. Always greets us with a big hug and adorable and warm smile. Wine Sommelier: Hugo and Ezekiel Yes, we go often (we live in Houston!). But those listed above have become like family to us. The staff goes above and beyond. Yes, this is a glowing review. Sure, I could nitpick a few things, but why? No one person or place is perfect; however, UNICO and her staff and what she has to offer is perfect for us. Read less

The butlers Carlos and Eduardo were very helpful in making our stay very enjoyable. Couple of very small items : one is we could not get bottled water at the golf course without paying. Two we couldn’t use up all of our $200 voucher the last day because the store was closed. Read less

Unico is absolutely one of the most amazing resorts we have ever stayed at. Everything about our stay was top-notch from the staff, to the rooms to the fantastic food. We will tell everyone about this beautiful place and plan on returning to this location as well as the future locations.
