"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.

"UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya set the bar for the new wave of luxury all-inclusive resorts when it opened in 2017, and this resort stays fresh and relevant, even earning a spot on the 2023 World's Best list. We love it for the enormous suites — first-floor rooms have swim-up access and higher floors have terraces with deep soaking tubs. The pool is the heart of the resort, attracting a fun, social crowd of 20-to-40-somethings. The resort is tucked into a quiet bay just north of Tulum, and the crescent-shaped beach is one of the best in the area." - Travel + Leisure Editors
