On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks with Leah Smith Fulenwider, COO of Coastline Travel Group, about her recent stay at Siari Riviera Nayarit, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Mexico.

Smith Fulenwider talks about what it means to stay at a Ritz-Carlton Reserve property and why Siari's mountaintop setting and design are perfect for seclusion and privacy. She shares details on the resort’s four miles of swimmable beach, the Mexican-inspired influences featured across each of its restaurant concepts and the “treehouse” feel of Siari’s guestrooms, which are surrounded by lush jungle. She also weighs in on the resort's ideal clientele, current Mexico travel demand and why she describes the Reserve concept as “understated luxury.”

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 9th episode of the fourth season will be posted the last week of September.
