The newest addition to RCD Hotels, UNICO 20 º 87 º—named for the latitude and longitude of the region where the hotel is located—is an adults-only all-inclusive hotel that drenches guests in local culture while providing a unique and luxurious getaway. Located in the Riviera Maya, UNICO prides itself on its culturally rich location and unique features like its local experts, guides, artisans and specialists that are on hand to create one-of-a-kind experiences for guests, including everything from unique cuisine and curated adventures to personal, local hosts and custom amenities.
Along with an unparalleled location, UNICO’s all-inclusive includes all food and beverages, select spa treatments and off-property excursions, unlimited golf and more.

Guests are able to unwind in semi-private plunge pools in ground floor rooms and in outdoor hydro spa tubs in all other rooms. A unique feature of all accommodations is the inclusion of an Anfitrión, which is a local host available 24-hours a day that can assist with everything from general butler services to being an insider guide for the best, local spots in town. A rustic-meets-modern vibe and featured Mexican art decorates the interiors.
Another unique feature of the hotel is the option for a PURE Hypo-Allergenic Room, which are rooms designed specifically for those who suffer from allergies. The PURE rooms receive an additional seven-step cleaning process to rid the air and surfaces of potential irritants, creating an even more peaceful experience.
While the hotel focuses on its regional location, it’s no surprise that locally sourced ingredients are the focus of each of its four unique restaurants. Dining outlets range from casual to formal and feature an array of international fare, pleasing to any palate. Cueva Siete—named for the seven origin caves of Mayan mythos—serves up Yucatecan dishes deeply rooted in Mexican flavor. Nosh on Mexican street food by day and by night, enjoy a more refined atmosphere. Cueva Siete also features a rotating chef program to keep the flavors and dishes exciting. First to head up the restaurant is Chef Christan Bravo who’s competed on Top Chef Mexico and whipped up dishes all through Mexico and Spain.
