What to Pack for Unico Hotel Riviera Maya (By Weather)
Packing for Unico Hotel Riviera Maya is all about sun + humidity. Plan for pool and beach days, and add a few smart extras depending on the season.

Hotter, more humid, rainier months (often ~86–89°F highs)
- Breathable clothing (linen/cotton blends, moisture-wicking)
- Compact rain layer + water-resistant sandals
- Electrolytes + after-sun + humidity-friendly hair/skincare
- Extra swimwear (you'll rotate more with humidity)
