#myunicoexperience @unico2087
Where every attention to detail was paid, where there were no corners cut-there’s @unico2087 Incredible. Easily the nicest hotel I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to some pretty great ones. Unico just opened last year so it uses the latest materials and styling while still paying homage to the area in which it’s built. So refined, so sexy, so chic. I keep coming back to “sophisticated”. My beautiful Kate works for the company that built and operates this hotel and she loves the team she works with, telling me every day how much she loves her job.

Day One At Hard Rock Riviera Maya
My love Kate works for the company that owns Hard Rock Riviera Maya, Hard Rock Vallarta, Unico, Eden Rock and Nobu Hotels in Miami.
We’re lucky to be able to stay at these next level all inclusive resorts once a year for vacation.
When I was younger I did an inexpensive all-inclusive in CANCUN and was totally turned off by the cattle call mentality.
This place is nothing like that. There’s a ton to do, there are countless different pools to go to with varying levels of activity from entertaining to completely chill. The food is great and there are soooo many different options and they’re all unique and you never fell like the food is mass produced. The booze is top shelf.
This is the kind of vacation where you literally don’t have to think about anything. The kind of place where you can instantly unwind all that tension in your neck and back from all the responsibilities of the real world. Everything is taken care of and taken care of perfectly. I’d highly recommend you come here.
I’m. Looking forward to checking out Unico which she tells me I won’t believe.
Hard Rock Riviera Maya has two sections, one adult only and one for families. I can’t wait to bring the kids here in the family section. There’s soooo much to do, their heads are going to explode. For now I’m going to enjoy the adult section to the max.
Sandals is so 90s. The hip kids are going to Hard Rock All Inclusive Collection and the sophisticated are hitting Unico (I’m looking forward to filing a report from Unico like you read about).
Sun’s about to come up as I write this –

His latest CD-2 Roads East, digs into his “love affair with the very fabric of American music”.
