A Relaxing and Wonderful Stay at Unico Resort in Cancun We want to start by expressing our gratitude to the incredible staff at Unico Resort for their warm, friendly hospitality. From the moment we arrived, everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. We especially enjoyed our dinners at The Grill and the Italian restaurant—both provided excellent food and service. A special mention goes to Rolando at The Grill, who took care of us with exceptional attention and friendliness. The filet at the Italian restaurant was absolutely the best we’ve had—highly recommended! While most of the food was fantastic, we did have a couple of minor issues. The fish tacos on the beach tasted like they were made with frozen fish, and when we had steak at the Mexican restaurant, both my wife’s and my steak were served cold. We did mention that we were celebrating our anniversary, but unfortunately, nothing special was done to acknowledge it, which was a little disappointing considering how thoughtful the staff otherwise were. Additionally, we had an issue with housekeeping. On two separate occasions, a maid entered our room despite the “Do Not Disturb” sign being on the door. It was a bit unsettling and something that should be addressed to ensure guest privacy is respected. One other thing we noticed was the excessive number of caution signs placed throughout the resort. While safety is important, it felt a bit overdone and detracted from the beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. The resort itself has such a relaxing, laid-back vibe with a “zen” feeling that makes it easy to unwind. The beach has been absolutely wonderful, and we spent a lot of time enjoying the beautiful scenery. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to heat the pools—it would have made it easier to spend more time in the water. Other than that, we had a lovely experience and will definitely be back! Thank you again to the amazing staff for making our stay so memorable. Let me Read less

We just stayed at Unico for the first time. We loved the resort, food was good, and we can’t say enough good things about our butlers Isreal and Roger…they were the best! Always willing to help, easy to reach them and they were there when we needed something! They both were so friendly and accommodating making our stay even better! They are a definite asset to the Unico staff. I would also like to mention Sileous our representative, she was vso nice and Pedro at the Grill…he was great! I have to say the entire staff at the resort were awesome! Everyone was so friendly and met you with a smile. Our favorite restaurant was the Grill even though we liked all them. We enjoyed the buffet at the Grill for breakfast…always a good selection especially the fresh fruit! My only suggestion would be to improve the pastries as most have chocolate (not a chocolate for breakfast person) and would love to see some fruit pastries for breakfast as it’s our favorite meal of the day! Looking forward to the French restaurant being open the next time we visit. We can’t wait to return. 😊 Read less
