What a view! Am I right?
A few months ago, my best girl friend and I found an AMAZING deal for an all inclusive trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico. I’ve been itching to go back since my trip last year. Mexico is close, affordable, and basically paradise - it’s the perfect vacation.
That’s where Unico 20°N 87°W comes in. This resort redefines all inclusive. Yes, the flights, hotel, food & drink is all included. But at Unico, there is even more that’s included - spa, salon, AND excursions! All you have to pay is 20% gratuity.
For this post I will be focusing on the luxurious hotel and rooms we got to stay in (and yes, I said ROOMS). But don’t worry, there’ll be more ;)
The main entrance is completely breathtaking. It’s so warm and inviting, as are the employees. And upon arrival, you’re immediately greeted with Jade (Unico’s signature welcome drink) and aromatherapy options for your room.
We had booked the Alcoba Swim-up Pool room, but unfortunately there were none available when we arrived. Unico definitely made it up to us, though - we were upgraded to an Alcoba Ocean View on the top level for a few nights and then were able to move into our swim-up room for the second half of our trip.
Indoors, both of the rooms were identical. Some highlights include: the most comfortable king sized bed I’ve ever slept in, a lounge chair (perfect for reading), dining area for delish 24/7 room service, and a huge bathroom complete with separate toilet and shower areas for privacy.
Absolutely everything was thought of in this hotel. Comfy, customized slippers + sweatshirt bathrobe = the perfect way to relax after a day in the sun. Bottled water EVERYWHERE, which did not go unnoticed. USB charging stations by the bed! I mean, really, what more could you ask for?
Some of my favorite amenities were the locally sourced soaps and lotions. We were also given free passes to the Beauty Bar to craft our own creation. I combined bath salts with dried roses, relaxing lavender, and soothing eucalyptus oils. I can’t wait to throw them in my tub at home (you know, when I’m crying because I’m not in Mexico anymore).
Now let’s talk about the best part of the Alcoba Ocean View… The tub on the terrace! And your local host (also known as your personal assistant) can pour you a bath any time you want. My best friend and I had a very romantic time with bubbles, champagne, and roses.
And don’t get me started on the Alcoba Swim-up Pool…. I mean, come on, look at it! It’s just a dream. You can literally take a refreshing dip whenever you want without leaving your room. There’s also a lovely lounge area equipped with a nook for reading and hammocks for hanging. Does it get better than this?
Just wait, this is only the room. Stay tuned for more posts on my amazing trip to Mexico!
