I had an incredible stay at the resort for our honeymoon, enjoying both the serene atmosphere and attentive staff. The Alcoba Swim Up Suite was a dream, and I loved the delicious food across various dining options. While the beach had some seaweed issues, the beautiful pool areas made up for it. I wish they had a better wine selection, which was a small downside.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel during our stay. The staff was incredibly attentive, especially our butler Adriano who managed all our reservations seamlessly. The hotel is elegant and the beach is well maintained, although not directly oceanfront from our room. The dining experience offered some delicious options, but making reservations was a bit tricky. Overall, it was a fantastic experience despite a few minor setbacks.

Overall, my stay at Unico was very enjoyable with standout features like amazing food and excellent service. However, the beach situation was a letdown, and the lack of entertainment options might not suit everyone. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway focused on food and service, this place is perfect, but if you're after lively entertainment, you might want to look elsewhere.

My stay at the hotel was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment I arrived, the welcoming atmosphere and luxurious ambiance put me in a great mood. Every detail was attended to with care, and the all-inclusive aspect really delivered on its promise. However, while I truly enjoyed my stay, I noticed that the service could vary depending on the time of day. Overall, an incredible experience, but just keep in mind that peak times might draw more guests.
