Adults-only all-inclusive with chic design, ocean views, spa


"Named as a reference to its coordinates and sited on beachfront between Tulum and Playa del Carmen, this adults-only resort feels chicer than many nearby counterparts, with stylish design across 448 rooms, jewel-like swimming pools, and traditional sculptures on display. Most rooms have at least a partial ocean view (some with swim-up access), and dining is a standout with five restaurants including the outdoor grilling venue 20°87° Restaurant and the Japanese-inspired Mura House. The resort offers DJ dance nights, a spacious spa, and a well-appointed gym; it is the farthest resort from Tulum on this list (about a 20-minute drive), has two accessible rooms, and rates start at $500 per night." - David Shortell David Shortell David Shortell is a journalist based in Mexico City.

"This adults-only, all-inclusive property blends great food, a lively pool scene, and a beautiful, quiet beach while allowing guests to choose their mood — from live DJ sessions at the main pool to intimate moments in rooms with deep soaking tubs on private balconies. I particularly like the spacious Alto Ocean View King rooms on the highest floor and the cozy sweatshirt-style bathrobes in every room. Dining highlights include Cueva Siete for Mexican cuisine and Mura House for Japanese, and the spa features a hydrotherapy facility; note that spa treatments used to be included in the package but are no longer part of the all-inclusive offering." - Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger left New York City for a life on the road.

"I admire how UNICO set the bar for the new wave of luxury all-inclusives: enormous suites (first-floor rooms have swim-up access and higher floors offer terraces with deep soaking tubs), a pool that attracts a fun, social 20-to-40-something crowd, and a calm, semi-private crescent-shaped beachfront tucked into a quiet bay north of Tulum; restaurant reservations are required, and I practically lived in the resort's snuggly hoodie-style robe from check-in to check-out." - Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger left New York City for a life on the road.
