Many of the resorts are located behind HUGE gates along this highway. The Riviera Maya Area is on the eastern side of the country and there is one main road, Highway 307, its one of the biggest highways in all of Mexico. If you can, plan to exchange most of your money into Mexican Pesos when you arrive. Most ATMs will give you Mexican pesos cash, others will dispense only American dollars (signified by an American flag on the machine). However, if you decide to go sightseeing/shopping/touring, please be aware that not all ATMs are the same. Fortunately, our hotel was able to trade our US currency for Mexican pesos. I wish we had a little bit more information about whether or not it would be easy to access US currency. Majority of the days it was sunny all day, with a little rain sprinkled on in the afternoon.- perfect for a siesta! If you go in October be prepared, but it doesn’t last long. We found that in October the temperatures were ideal- not to hot, not to cold. The Riviera Maya region begins to cool down in October, the average temperature is in low 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the quieter side of the pool that we frequented. The cutest little coffee shop! I went every morning and the barista came to know me well. Upon entering the lobby, we just knew what a wonderful and beautiful resort we had chosen Imagine our delight!!! We were very happy to have been able to stay at Unico 2087 as our resort of choice to celebrate this special milestone in our marriage. Without even asking, upon returning to our room on the night of our anniversary, champagne and a bubble bath with rose petals was waiting for us on our outdoor patio. The property is well maintained and the staff was accessible and considerate. They have the quaintest little coffee shop that I visited every morning to enjoy a Mexican Mocha and later in the evening a sweet treat. The spa was wonderful and the fitness center was well equipped. They had multiple pools and outdoor jacuzzis, but I especially loved that they had two sides, one was more lively with music, tons of outdoor bars and snack spots, the other was a more quiet and intimate experience. The resort is all inclusive so when we say we wanted for nothing, we mean nothing.
Only because I’m such a brunch girl and we had brunch every morning, instead of a typical breakfast menu. If I were to be honest, breakfast was my favorite meal of the day. The restaurants served everything you could imagine from sushi, to Italian, to steak. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating no matter the request. We had a beautiful ocean view room with luxurious amenities and even our own butler! Unico 2087 had been open for a little less than a year when we went and I can see why they had such a renowned reputation among travelers already. We stayed at Unico 2087, which is in Solidaridad, Riviera Maya.
Although, we do look forward to traveling to that side one day. This part of Mexico is humid, lush and has a more tropical vibe vs. We chose to stay in the Riviera Maya area of Mexico. We wanted to relax and unwind … adult style. We didn’t want to stay in a very populated place such as Cancun because we typically stay at finer boutique hotels when we travel and we felt Cancun would have more of a party vibe. This past October, Scott and I took our first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 14 year wedding anniversary. With such cold temperatures around, I thought what an ideal time to share some sunny happy photos and my Riviera Maya Mexico Travel Guide. I don’t know when it will get better, but I’m sure hoping that it gets better soon. Hi loves, we are in the middle of a very very very bad cold spell up here in Connecticut and rather all of New England/the East coast.
