Ep.6: After My Stay: A Conversation with Corby from Unico

Fresh off my stay at Unico 20º 87º Riviera Maya, I sat down with Corby from the Unico team to talk about what really makes the experience stand out — from the details guests feel the moment they arrive to the intention behind everything you don’t always see. We talk about what surprised me during my stay, how Unico creates a sense of place rather than a typical all-inclusive feel, and why the resort resonates so strongly with travelers who want luxury without the stuffiness. Corby shares insider insight into the thought behind the design, service, food, and overall vibe — plus what guests can expect when they book their own stay with me. If you’re curious about Unico, dreaming up your next getaway, or just love hearing what goes on behind the scenes at standout resorts, this episode gives you a real, honest look at the Unico experience — from a guest perspective. In this episode, we talk about: * What my stay at Unico was really like * The little details that make the resort feel special * How Unico blends luxury with local culture * What guests should know before booking * What makes Unico different from other all-inclusive resorts * New resorts in Puerto Vallarta and Montego Bay! 🎧 Think of this as the conversation you wish you could have before planning your trip.
