UNICO 20 87 Hotel Riviera Maya-the five-star, adults-only, all-inclusive property from AIC Hotel Group, located just south of Mexico's Playa del Carmen-will once again outdo itself in 2020 for the third year of its Superbia Summer gastronomic event.
For six weeks, from July 15 through August 23, the resort will showcase an epicurean array of dining delights with guest takeovers by superstars of the worldwide culinary scene: renowned chefs on loan from Michelin Star-rated and Sol Repsol award-winning restaurants around the globe.
Sol Repsol (or Repsol Sun) recognitions are prestigious distinctions conferred upon the finest chefs and restaurants throughout Spain and Portugal.
Perhaps the best bit about Superbia Summer is that this multi-sensory extravaganza comes as part of hotel guests' all-inclusive stay, so they can sample creations from some of the world's finest chefs at no additional cost. Discerning vacationers and avid foodies should have no trouble deciding where to book their stays this summer!
Besides the chefs' takeovers of the resort's five unique a-la-carte restaurants, a group of expert mixologists also stage a takeover of the bar scene, offering handcrafted cocktails, and wine and tequila tastings amid a lively atmosphere with parties held at the hotel's swimming sophisticated pools.
Further details about visiting mixologists and activations by well-known spirit brands are soon to be released.

- July 15-19: Chef Juan Luis Fernández of 'Lú Cocina Y Alma' in Andalusia, Spain, with one Michelin Star.
