<p><span style="font-family:">Located on the pristine white beaches of Riviera Maya, <a href="https://www.travelpulse.com/suppliers/hotels-and-resorts/unico-hotels-riviera-maya.html" target="_self">Unico 2087</a> is an all-inclusive hotel that prides itself on immersing guests in the culture of the region at every opportunity.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:"><a href="https://www.travelpulse.com/articles/hotels-and-resorts/keeping-it-real-in-riviera-maya.html" target="_self">The luxurious property</a> is home to three striking pools, a holistic spa and wellness center, as well as a collection of five unique restaurants and bars, each of which hosts a variety of impromptu pop-up programmings such as <a href="https://www.travelpulse.com/opinions/blog/an-insider-look-at-mexicos-mouthwatering-mezcal.html" target="_blank">Mezcal tastings</a> and Mayan cooking lessons.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:">

</span></p><p><span style="font-family:">What sets this adults-only hotel apart from the rest is the attention given to creating authentic culinary experiences that highlight the best locally-sourced ingredients around. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:">The beverage program at Unico 2087 is adventurous, yet pays homage to its Mexican roots. Guests can look forward to sipping handcrafted, Mayan-inspired cocktails courtesy of the on-property mixologist throughout their stay. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:">For example, The Hunan Ku served at the hotel's Bar Balam is named after an ancient Mayan symbol that is said to represent the "Supreme Being". Featuring Mezcal, cucumber, sour orange juice, agave syrup and garnished with an ashy and savory sal de guano rim, it brings together many of the <a href="https://www.travelpulse.com/destinations/north-america/mexico/riviera-maya.html" target="_blank">Riviera Maya's</a> classic flavors in a modern fashion.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:">Other offerings include mixology driven activities led by top bartenders. Think tequila tastings, custom michelada beer gardens or even a "pop-your-drink" station where guests can infuse their spirits with artisanal helados (ice creams), creating the perfect boozy pool-side treat. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:">Not to be upstaged, UNICO 2087's dining brings together the region's best local talent to provide guests with a variety of tantalizing flavors. Guests have the opportunity to indulge in expertly curated cuisine made possible by a special rotating chef concept at Cueva Siete restaurant, spearheaded by Top Chef Mexico contestant Chef Christian Bravo. </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family:"> </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family:">UNICO 2087's <a href="https://www.travelpulse.com/news/hotels-and-resorts/food-and-fun-at-unico-2087-hotel-riviera-maya.html" target="_blank">on-site dining options</a> range from fine dining to casual fare. Cueva Siete is known for its upscale dishes focusing on Mexican flavors and traditions of the past and present. Café Inez is a place to enjoy juices, coffees and baked goods in the morning and sandwiches and salads come lunch. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:">Restaurant 20.87 is a laid back beachside venue that offers dining throughout the day from your morning buffet to your evening grill. Mura House is a Japanese restaurant that incorporates three different styles of Japanese cuisine-teppanyaki, yakitori and sushi into its menu. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:">Finally, there's Mi Carisa, UNICO 2087' most elevated dining experience offering guests a taste of the Italian coast. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:">So, what are you waiting for? Escape the cold this <a href="https://www.travelpulse.com/news/hotels-and-resorts/new-year-s-eve-is-just-the-beginning-at-unico-2087.html" target="_self">New Year's Eve and instead find paradise at UNICO 2087</a>. The hotel will host Superbia December 30 through January 1 featuring a schedule packed with special events, including boozy yoga, mixology classes and an anti-resolution pool party featuring music by Fierce Angel.</span></p>
