Episode Title: The Last Resort: Margaritaville Beach Resort Riviera Maya

On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks to Syreeta Grose, owner of Grose Travel Services Meetings and Events, and Tim Flatz, owner and senior advisor for Discovery Travel, about their recent visits to the new Margaritaville Beach Resort Riviera Maya in Mexico.

Grose and Flatz talk about the property’s status as the first adults-only Margaritaville Beach Resort in the Karisma Hotels & Resorts portfolio, and chat about highlights like the best pool bar for grabbing a custom cocktail (where Flatz discovered his new go-to, a Coconut Mojito) and their experience with the resort’s glow-in-the-dark pickleball offering. They also touch on the fact that group business—from destination weddings and bachelorette parties to family reunions—remains red hot this year and discuss why a slowdown during “low season” may be a thing of the past.

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 nine will be posted November 13.
