K: Arriving at Unico was very easy. They did spray down the luggage, take your temp, sanitize your hands and shoes before walking into the hotel.
M: I only allowed each participant to choose one resort. Why was Unico 20 87 your choice?
K: I LOVE UNICO and have since it opened. It is a mix of modern with local culture. A lot of hand made/local art and furniture through the property. The Spa is the number one reason. So relaxing at this resort and feel like I can fully relax here. I have traveled here with friends and by myself.. Both have been wonderful times.

M: What is your experience with sales desks at Unico?
K: I didn’t experience a huge sales pitch but I know they do ask. I haven’t had any clients feel really pushed with this property.
M: Did you get to experience the spa?
K: The SPA is one of the reason why I LOVE Unico 2087 They have a resort credit that will give you HUGE discounts at the spa. So I do suggest clients take advantage of the spa and salon. The best one I have had is called the Escenia massage. It is where there are 2 people working on you. With COVID that one is not available so then I will do the Hot Stone massage and do a facial.
M: If this is family property?
K: This is adults only. They have a sister resort called Hard Rock Riviera Maya that is about 15 mins away that is family friendly.
M: Is there butler service available at Unico 2087?
K: They have someone who is called a Host. Similar to a butler.. make your dinner reservations, spa reservations or anything that you may need. They do connect with you via Whatsapp while at the property and just check in once a day to see how you are doing and if you need anything. Last time I was there he helped making dinner reservations and spa.. Also helped checked my transfer time on the way back to the airport for pickup.
