![]() UNICO 20☈7° Hotel, Riviera Maya, Mexico, 3. When you can drag yourself away, there are five globally-inspired gourmet restaurants, six bars and lounges and three pools.įrom $1,539 per couple for a three-night stay. A dirty martini to your sunbed? Housekeeping to make up the room? They also offer an app that promises to allow you to order pretty much anything via your phone – and open your room door. The recently opened property is adults only and intriguingly named after its latitude and longitude on the Yucatan Peninsula. Unlimited spa treatments, golf and off-property excursions are some of the draws at the UNICO 20☈7° Hotel Riviera Maya. This is definitely one for your travel list.įrom $1,651 per couple for a three-night stay. Dining avoids the buffet option often seen elsewhere, with restaurants including L’Azure offering fresh seafood overlooking the ocean or Italian classics at D’Onofrio’s Trattoria.Īt their Bar 1887, rum punch is on the menu, as well as the promise that “happy hour can be every hour.” The resort features six swimming pools, waterfalls, whirlpools and private pools, gardens and terraces. If you’re looking for relaxation, this isn’t the right place.Crane Beach in Barbados has been voted one of the world’s best and The Crane Resort sits on its pink sands. The resort is affiliated with the Hard Rock hotels (the Legacy membership applies to all) and attracts the same crowd - loud, inconsiderate and obnoxious. They then tried to withhold the spa vouchers/limit how they could be applied in retaliation. The sales associates (other than one) were hostile, rude and aggressive despite my having been clear that I wasn’t going to be interested in purchasing. After declining, we were bribed with free spa services and agreed to attend. We were also begged by text message and in person to attend the sales presentation. We had a server lie to my dad, telling him the drink he ordered was correct when they in fact served him a lesser quality beverage and expected him to not notice the difference. I had to rebook them to be told the next day that it was a mistake and our original reservations were there. On our arrival, I went to confirm our dinner reservations made in advance and was told half of them were not reserved. From our doors left open by cleaning staff to hotel electronics being stolen from our room during our stay, it was one inconvenience after another. Pros: clean, beautiful resort with good food and responsive staff.Ĭons: the beach isn’t nice, the small pools are aesthetically pleasing but get too warm in the sun and while the staff individually are very helpful and responsive, they wouldn’t need to be if the resort was run properly. ![]() Sometimes a cheaper solution would end up costing more later on. The backhaul also takes sand away from the beach. We would strongly recommend the hotel invest in the proper equipment to clean up the beach as it is a beautiful beach. We have also seen the same machine used at Banyan Tree and Andaz in Mayakoba. Next door resort has the special machine that just rolled up the seaweeds. It doesn’t seem to be the most efficient equipment to do the job. We saw the hotel had a backhaul cleaning the seaweed on the beach. It seems that the seaweed was not cleaned for a long time that some of them are rotting and smelly. The beach is the most disappointing part of the resort. There was a sizable nail hanging on top of our balcony sliding door. The property shows its age, which is a bit surprising for an 6-year-old property. Unfortunately it doesn’t not seem to matter enough for them to give us a room that is further away from the wedding party. I specifically asked for a quiet room on my reservation and during check in. Due to a wedding on the first night, it was quite loud when we were trying to get some rest as we started our day at 3am. Check in was not the most satisfactory experience as room upgrade was not honored and nothing else was offered. ![]()
