UNICO was a bit of a letdown. We chose it for a birthday celebration, expecting to be amazed, but unfortunately that was not the case.
On the positive side, the staff was wonderful. Our butler Tony was excellent, and our housekeeper Felicita took great care of us. We had no complaints about their service and they were truly the highlight of our stay.
Where things fell short was with the property itself. We were surprised to learn UNICO only opened in 2017 because some areas look much older. The resort is in need of better maintenance and more attention to cleanliness, especially in the pools, hallways and elevators. Another disappointment was the limited dining options during the day, since the only choices for breakfast and lunch were the buffet and the poolside food for lunch.
The biggest disappointment was the sales pressure. If you attend their presentation, be prepared because the sales approach is extremely aggressive. After our initial meeting we politely said no thank you, yet three more people approached us trying to sell the same thing. Even after completing a survey at the hotel and expressing how uncomfortable the experience was, the manager still pushed us to buy a membership.
Overall the staff’s hospitality was excellent, but the resort itself, the lack of dining variety during the day, and the high-pressure sales tactics made our stay less enjoyable than we had hoped.
