On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks with Jace Tarbell, founder of Somewhere Travel Co., about his most recent stay at Atelier Playa Mujeres, an all-inclusive just north of Cancun, Mexico.

Tarbell breaks down what sets Atelier Playa Mujeres apart within the crowded all-inclusive landscape, from its standout mixology program and dining venues that could hold their own off property, to the design-forward details that he says make the resort feel “like a deep breath when you walk in.” He also addresses how the alarming Mexico headlines earlier this year affected his clients and whether bookings are bouncing back. Plus, Tarbell shares his “fantastic four” of go-to Mexico all-inclusive recommendations.

Currently in its fourth season, The Last Resort is a monthly hospitality-focused podcast brought to you by Travel Weekly. In each episode, travel advisors share their first impressions of the last resort they visited.

The 5th episode of the fourth season will be posted the last week of May.
