  • BAR BALAM
    Bar Balam is UNICO 20°87°’s day-to-night cocktail
    bar, radiating warmth, while calling to mind the mystique
    of hidden-door cocktail dens of yore. Balam, which
    translates to jaguar in Mayan, is a powerful spirit in the
    ancient Mayan tradition and a divine symbol of strength.
    This sense of strength and boldness comes to life through
    the creatively vibrant cocktail menu, which presents an
    insightful Mexican take on classic cocktail tradition.
  • Cafe Inez
    Relax at our coffee shop and enjoy quick bites & a juice bar.

    Café Inez is UNICO 20°87°’s take on café culture, offering guests an essential place to meet on property, or a quick stopover for bites between activities.

Fresh smoothies, 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.

    20.87 Restaurant

The warm, intimate setting lets each bite convey a sincere affection for the coastal Mediterranean lifestyle.

The restaurant aims to achieve a balance between tradition and uniqueness by bringing together three different styles of Japanese cuisine-teppanyaki, yakitori, and sushi.

    dance along.

    First Visit to Unico

    Antonio, Esteban, Amid, Daniel, Fernando, & Francisco…there were so many more people that made our first trip to Unico so amazing!! The spa was incredible and the food was delicious. I never expect much from an all inclusive resort but this one blew me away! Can’t wait to go back soon.

    Honeymoon at Unico

    The resort was absolutely stunning! Everything was perfect from the second we checked in until we checked out. Our personal host, Mendoza, was exceptional! He was very accommodating and checked on us frequently. He even made all of our dinner reservations! I cannot say enough good things about him. The food and drinks were phenomenal! The Japanese restaurant was UNBELIEVABLE. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to visit again hopefully next year.

    Great Staff

    Laura was our host! She could not have done a better job at making us feel special!! She was attentive to our every request and went above and beyond to surprise two of us who celebrated birthdays with sparkling wine, balloons and candy in our room!!She took care of all our requests with a smile and “can do” attitude! A wonderful employee ♈️ Marcos, was at poolside. He was incredibly friendly, happy and had wonderful service skills! He anticipated our every need. Josue and Diego took care of our cabana set up each day, providing chairs and fresh towels with cheerfulness. All of the poolside staff were very attentive…Connie, Luis, Lucia and Kirk just to add a few! The pool fitness instructors were FULL of energy; we enjoyed their skill and enthusiasm while keeping fit! The food and drinks were above average in most restaurants; however, there could have been more vegetarian options in a few, but most restaurants have a good selection. There were the TV issues all week, so we were unable to watch a few select airings we were counting on seeing. Some minor cosmetic upgrades in the hallway between the hotel and restaurants could use attention as well. The sales staff was pleasant enough, but generally awkward when assembling our group of 10 for a presentation. This experience could have been handled more professionally. I would say 95% of the employers seemed pleased to be working there. We all enjoyed our time at 20 87 🌴🌴

    April 2025 - 6th Visit

    April 2025 Unico 2087 March 31 – April 12, 2025 After numerous visits to our favorite resort, Unico 2087, Riviera Maya, our sixth now since 2019 my wife and I are always impressed with the resort, staff and food. It was no different during our last visit from March 31 – April 12, 2025. Our local host Laura Flores continues to be amazing, always anticipating our needs and providing us additional information on member events, special activities to participate in and checking on us during the day to ensure we had everything we needed. We had a great members dinner on April 8th, food, entertainment was great, met some great people we had not met before. She was instrumental in getting us the room(s) we wanted and what incredible views, wow!!! Excellent job Laura, thank you for everything. (a special thanks for the “snack”).(picture included) We re-connected with Pascual, our previous host and now in sales, he checked in on us a number of times to see how we were doing. He is very personable and knowledgeable, thanks very much Pascual The service at all the restaurants was great, as was the food, this is one key reason we keep coming back to Unico 2087, is the food, it’s amazing. We are looking forward to the new additional French restaurant that is under construction, we are sure it will also be amazing. Special note for some key staff is listed below. Housekeeping was very good, and any issues we had they were quick to fix it for us. We took in three shows at the Palmera Lounge, great fun. Before retiring every evening, we stopped in at Bar Balam for a drink(s), staff there are very proactive to serve and very personable, especially Marsala and Maleyvi. Various performers providing some great music to enjoy with our refreshments. As good as everything is as mentioned above there are a few annoyances such as vaping at pool and Bar Balam with no one intervening. Hall of Famers reserving a lot of the loungers at the Legendary pool and then not showing up, need some courtesy or rules that there is a cutoff if you are a no show, so other members can use the loungers. Unico 2087 service – Mar 31 - Luciano for breakfast great (in-room dining), Antonio set up at pool, excellent, Raoul at Cueva Siete restaurant great service and recommendation when we were not sure what to order. April 1 - William at quiet pool set up, very efficient -Victor waiter at 2087 great service -Juan & Manuel at the quiet pool, bartenders, Juan hard working very helpful, Manuel helped my wife after being stung by a bee / hornet, pulled stinger out, provide ice and lime to alleviate pain and sting infection. - Jacob at Mura House - server, very attentive and proactive to our needs. April 2 - Legendary pool Alberto server, very efficient - Pedro at dinner 2087, very efficient -Waitress at Bar Balam -Maleyvi, she helped us on numerous visits to the bar, excellent service, great individual and very personable (picture included) April 3 -Santos @ Mi Carisa great waiter -Marsala 2 Bar Balam, as we walk-in she ensures we are looked after quickly - Lucia, server at legendary pool with Antonio who sets up lounge chairs & umbrellas and, Alberto server, all three very good, with Alberto being extraordinary with service and assistance. (picture included) - Jose for in-room dining breakfast helps clean balcony table and sets up everything extremely efficiently. April 4 – Pedro, waiter @ Cueva Siete for dinner, great service April 5 -Gonzalo for breakfast @ Mi Carisa, very good waiter April 11 - Irving at Mi Carisa, worked with chef to provide me a special request I had, it was delicious, very well presented, made my day, thank you Irving. Fernanda- greet person at many restaurants - great in receiving people, very pleasant always smiling very helpful. Diego was very helpful at the Legendary pool, getting towels and setting up our loungers, great service! We are looking forward to our next trip, we want to try out the new French restaurant. We are also planning on visiting the new Unico 20 105 Vallarta, pictures look amazing.
