A get away vacation with the wify, the boss. She chooses Unico , extremely good choice. Food is supreme. The Cueva 7 restaurant my favorite, the Birrias Tacos y El Nogada Chile relleno is a most. Why wife love the Italian restaurant.
War pool a little scratchy for the feet, but who do not like a free pedicure 😂.
Service in the pool not the best, but the servers were always running and with good attitude.
The beach with some rocks but on the left side a big area and no rocks.
All ages , no kids.
Very good security.
The place is a mix of relaxation and good time without the crazy party time.
The Gym good equipment and every day different classes. The personal always in good disposition.
My wife love the massage and the spa.
The room nice , clean good bed and pillows, I sleep like a baby. Ok old baby 🤣
Special words for the Grill restaurant in the morning and at lunch. They make my day start with the right food. Alejandra and Jazmin always with a big smile. Daniel the Manager always checking the everything in your table is correct. The rest of the staff in the grill also deserves a 10.
Already planning to come back in December

What an amazing resort made even better from our butlers Alejandro and Mendoza. They took care of everything for us everyday. The food and beach there was amazing. We did a different art class every night and met so many great people. Can’t wait to book another trip back next year

Stayed at Unico Hotel for our honeymoon- beautiful place! We heard the beaches weren’t 100% the best- they are beautiful but certain spots are better than others. Restaurants are great to try each one, so make reservations early! The Restaurant 2087 serves a good breakfast buffet- otherwise we loved ordering room service breakfast and enjoying outside our deck. The staff and service is great- I LOVED spending time in La Escondida pool, the bartender Edy was very friendly we wanted to visit him daily! His service was excellent, and drinks were delicious! There’s beautiful shops and great excursions- amazing spa! Only thing is to make sure you ask for the daily scheduled activities and book early with the local host. There’s a bit of a night life, but it’s mainly a hotel for relaxation. I’d love to return back just for the connections we made with the people of Mexico. :)
