HOTEL HIGHLIGHT - UNICO 20 87°

LUXURY ADULTS ONLY ALL INCLUSIVE

Redefining all-inclusive means creating an entirely new kind of immersive experience, one that offers an unfiltered view of modern Mexico and a deep connection to the region.
UNICO 20°87°: a one-of-a-kind adults only, all-inclusive vacation.

Meet modern Mexico face-to-face

UNICO 20°87°, an adults only all inclusive hotel, is the newest addition of RCD Hotels. It was born out of a desire to create an entirely new category of all-inclusive—one defined by relaxed luxury and cultural immersion. At UNICO 20°87°, you’ll meet modern Mexico face-to-face and experience rare access to the region’s most exciting locales and lesser known wonders.

Location is at the heart of the UNICO 20°87° experience. That’s why we’ve put the latitude and longitude of the region in the hotel name—20°N 87°W. These coordinates are representative, not only of UNICO 20°87°’s devotion to its location, but also its ambition to immerse guests in the region’s beauty and culture. Through a staff of local experts, guides, artisans, and specialists, UNICO 20°87° is able to showcase the true heart of the Riviera Maya. 

Rooms & Suites

The design of UNICO 20°87° is directly inspired by the rich character of Riviera Maya, and incorporates many natural and handmade materials sourced within the area. The rooms and suites mix
modern luxury with familiar rustic moments inspired by the region’s history. All of the hotel accommodations feature a personalized local host, to provide an added level of personalized service.

 
 

 

Restaurants

Dining at UNICO 20°87° is not a singular experience, but rather a multi-sensory adventure, with constantly changing tastes, textures, and sensations. While locally-sourced ingredients are a staple at every restaurant and bar, the offerings are a diverse mix of international flavors. 

Our restaurants vary from elevated fine dining to casual beachside buffet. Similarly the cuisine ranges from simple and healthy to wonderfully indulgent. With a wealth of carefully executed options, and an exciting rotating chef concept, UNICO 20°87° is a haven for any who love food.

To more closely connect with the culinary innovations of modern Mexican cuisine, we implemented a rotating chef program at our restaurant Cueva Siete. The first to head up the kitchen is Chef Christian Bravo. Born and raised in Puebla, Chef Bravo has cooked all over Mexico and Spain, and even competed on Top Chef Mexico. Today he works as a Special Events Chef and runs his own catering company. 

 

Mi Carisa Restaurant Logo

Mi Carisa is a love letter to the romantic coastlines and flavors of the Mediterranean. UNICO 20°87°'s most elevated dining experience, Mi Carisa focuses on the traditions and practices of coastal Italian cuisine. That culinary heritage is most deeply honored in the form of a beautiful wood-burning oven, imparting a wonderful smoky flavor to everything that passes through it. The warm, intimate setting lets each bite convey a sincere affection for the coastal Italian kitchen.

Open Daily 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm.

Breakfast: 7:00 am - 11:00 am

BREAKFAST MENU MENU  

Cueva Siete Logo

Named for the seven origin caves of Mayan mythos, Cueva Siete—or Cave Seven—derives its inspiration from all that is Yucatecan. This regionally focused concept aims to harness the mysticism and reverence of Mayan culture, serving dishes deeply rooted in Mexican flavors and traditions.

Cueva Siete is unique as a strong, chef-driven concept where the chef will be rotated every so often. First to take the reins is former Top Chef Mexico contestant, Christian Bravo with a distinguished take on both familiar, and lesser known, Mexican dishes.

Open for dinner: 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm.
Dress code: smart, beach casual.

 
 

Mura House Logo

While Mura House draws flavors and techniques from throughout Asia, with a concentration on Japan, its cuisine is guided by three principles: the harmony of flavor, precision through preparation, and quality of ingredients. The restaurant aims to achieve a balance between tradition and uniqueness by bringing together three different styles of Japanese cuisine-teppanyaki, yakitori, and sushi.

Open for dinner: 5:00 pm - 11:00 pm. 
Dress code: smart, beach casual.

 
 

2087 Restaurante

Incorporating the hotel’s coordinates into its name, 20.87 Restaurant—the hotel's casual beachside venue—aims to capture the heart of the UNICO 20°87° experience. The dining experience is fitting with a concept that shifts throughout the day: from a bountifully diverse morning buffet—think fresh juices, eggs to order, and house-baked Mexican pastries—to a classic grill in the evenings, serving up choice cuts of steak and fish. 

Breakfast: 7:00 am - 11:00 am. 
Lunch: 12:30 pm - 4:30 pm. 
Dinner: 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm. 
Dress code: casual.

Cafe Inez logo

Cafe Inez is UNICO 20°87°’s own take on European café culture: an important social gathering setting, often a stopping off point in between activities. A way to refuel, rejuvenate and recharge. Fresh juices, coffee, tea and baked goods are served in the morning while the menu transitions to sandwiches, paninis and meal-sized salads for lunch and dinner. 

Open daily: 6:00 am - 2:00 am. 
Dress code: smart, beach casual.
