On the first episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks to Heather Bull, vice president at Peacock Travel Group, and Dawn Koutsky, owner of Wish to Wander Travel, about their recent visit to the Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya near Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

They discuss the ease of flying in and out of Cancun these days, a few of the property’s design and culinary highlights and several reasons the Playa Hotels & Resorts-managed Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya is a great option for destination weddings and groups.

The pair also touch on the topic of booming interest in all-inclusive resorts, with Bull characterizing the surge in demand as “absolutely off the chart.”

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 Last Resort is in its first season with new episodes coming out the second Monday of each month.

Episode two will be posted April 10.
