Wow, what a vacation. The one-on-one time with Blake was way overdue!
Blake booked our trip through BPK Travel. Blaire, the owner, is incredible at what she does! She’s detail oriented, and also knows all the hot spots to visit! If you are looking for a travel agent- she’s your girl!
We spent the week at Unico resort in Riviera Maya. Not only was the service outstanding, but the vibe of the whole resort was stunning! It’s a modern look, but kept the feeling of a warm and tropical get away! I honestly can’t say enough good things about this resort! I’ve been to a handful of all inclusive resorts, but this one is on a whole different level.
Lobby
When you arrive, you are greeted with a hand towel and welcome cocktail. From there, you walk into the lobby that’s filled with gorgeous oversized lanterns. It truly is a breathtaking site and sets the tone for how visually beautiful your stay is going to be.
Once you check in, you pick the sent that’s sprayed in your room during turn down service. This was so hard for me because all the fragrances smelt amazing!
Hotel Room
Everything is incredibly CLEAN and perfectly tucked in place! You can tell Unico staff takes pride in presentation!
The room also includes complimentary his/her unisex hats! Blake was super excited about this because I banned his white “golf hat” from this trip. If you don’t know what hat I’m referring to, see my Instagram feed! LOL He loves that thing… but I could live without it! *Insert eye roll emoji* lol
Spa
We spent one morning at the spa getting a couples massage. Omgoshhh, it was heavenly and so relaxing! If only I could get a massage weekly!
The spa was also giving me all sorts of interior design inspo for my new home office! I couldn’t stop photographing everything! Everywhere I looked was so pretty, and such good decor visuals that I just have to share here!
Dining
The breakfast/lunch buffet wasn’t your normal dining experience! It was not only visually stunning, but had a playful touch! These rope swings were in the waiting area, and everyone seemed to love them! I even told Blake I wanted to take one home with me so the kids could enjoy it too!
Food
The resort food was incredible! Each meal was carefully prepared with endless delicious options. I did indulge in a Nutella/fruit waffle one morning. Omgosh! So, so good! I’m still day dreaming about it! LOL
Fashion
Now on to my wardrobe… I had all these fashion moments planned for this trip. However, most of my time was spent in a swim cover up and visor from Urban Outfiters! LOL I never in a million years thought I would wear a VISOR, but I loved that my face was protected from the harsh sun, and I could also pile my hair into a messy top knot.
Pool
Pool life at Unico was relaxing, but also fun! Unico has two black bottomed pools
- relaxing/low key
- party/swim up bar
There is also a smaller white bottom pool and hot tubs if you prefer to swim in those.
We mostly enjoyed the “party” pool! There was a DJ, large blow up unicorn, rainbow and flamingo floats, and lots of drinks being served.
Activity
Do you remember those complimentary hats I mentioned? Unico hosted a custom artist who could personalize your straw hat! How fun is that?
We attended movie night on the lawn and it was a beautiful breezy 80 degrees outside! Blake and I participated in a beer pong contest (we were VERY rusty!) LOL We did meet a few other couples that way- so I guess it wasn’t a total loss.
Unico also hosted lots of other events that we were interested in. A mixology class, salsa dancing lessons, and much more!
So, if you’re seeking a Mexico, all inclusive vacation, do yourself a favor and look into Unico! We will be coming back again soon!
