 „YOU CAN NEVER VISIT THE SAME PLACE TWICE. EACH TIME, IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. BY THE VERY ACT OF COMING BACK, YOU WIPE OUT WHAT CAME BEFORE.“ —  MAUREEN JOHNSON

APPARENTLY I ONLY FOLLOW THE FIRST LINE OF THAT QUOTE BY MAUREEN. I DON’T REPEAT PLACES IN OR OUT OF TOWN. THERE’S SO MUCH TO ENJOY ABOUT TRAVELING IT SEEMS A WASTE OF A VACY TO REVISIT A PLACE YOU’VE BEEN BEFORE.

I ENJOY CREATING NEW MEMORIES, HAVING NEW EXPERIENCES, WHILE MAKING MY TIME COUNT TOWARDS SOMETHING UNIQUE IN MY MIND. BUT UNICO, IS TRULY A PLACE YOU COULD VISIT TIME AND TIME AGAIN WITHOUT FEELING YOU'VE WASTED THE EXPERIENCE. 

MY STAY WAS IN THE ESTANCIA SUITE  [PICTURED ABOVE]. A KING BEDROOM  1,270 SQ FT ROOM WITH THE GARDEN VIEW OVERLOOKING THE POOLS.

FROM THE SERVICE, TO THE FOOD, TO THE SPA [OMG THE SPA IS EVERYTHING], TO THE ROOM, AND ALL IT'S INCLUSIONS,  UNICO 20°87° IS ON A VERY SHORT LIFETIME LIST OF REVISITS. 

I ESPECIALLY LOVED THE EXCLUSIVE SPA SERVICES [MY CONCIERGE EVEN TOOK CARE OF MY VERY COMPLICATED SPA SCHEDULE FOR 2 WEEKS MAKING SURE SHE FIT IN EVERY MANI, MASSAGE, AND BODY SCRUB IN BETWEEN MY SAILING, SHOPPING, AND ADVENTURES]
