11 Nov 2024The Last Resort: Hotel Xcaret Arte00:24:48

On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks to Abbey Meyer, CEO of Missouri-based Sky High Travel, about her recent visit to the Hotel Xcaret Arte near Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Meyer describes how the adults-only Xcaret all-inclusive stands apart with its art-filled interiors, diverse cuisine and what she boldly claims is “the most incredible spa in all of Mexico.” While the resort commands premium pricing, she also explains how the included access to immersive cultural activities and Xcaret’s surrounding eco-parks justify the investment for adventurous travelers.

09 Dec 2024The Last Resort: Mandarin Oriental Canouan and Soho Beach House Canouan00:24:04

On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks with Amber Rose Powers, a luxury travel advisor with Fora X, about her recent visits to the Mandarin Oriental Canouan and Soho Beach House Canouan.

Powers takes listeners to Canouan, a hidden Caribbean gem where “billionaires go to get away from millionaires.” She shares her experience at two distinctly different properties: the ultra-luxe Mandarin Oriental, with its marble suites and butler service, and the laid-back yet sophisticated Soho Beach House, both of which have recently reopened after Hurricane Beryl. Powers shares highlights from her trip, from communal “jetty dinner” experiences to catamaran excursions through the nearby Tobago Cays and talks about how these two Canouan resorts successfully blend authentic Caribbean charm with world-class hospitality.

    08 Jul 2024The Last Resort: Estelle Manor00:24:36

    On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks to Fora-affiliated advisors Nancy Deane, Kim Hannum, Pamela Schein Murphy, Claudia Riegelhaupt and Louisa Vann, who have joined forces to attend fam trips together as part of a “fam pod.” The quintet recently visited the U.K., combining a London trip with a stay at Estelle Manor, a 108-room country estate and private members’ club in Oxfordshire.

    The group shares a few insights on their London experiences, which included site visits to properties within the Firmdale Hotels and Maybourne portfolios, before diving into their stay at Estelle Manor, which they say puts a “really fresh and fun” spin on the country estate concept. They talk about the property's Bridgerton-esque charm, its adults-only main house and how the property’s membership club component elevates the guest experience. The advisors also delve into the benefits of traveling together as part of a fam pod, and how their established group dynamic allows for more focused and productive familiarization trips.

    Sergeant talks about the Kisawa Sanctuary’s expansive, residential-style accommodations, robust wellness offerings and why this under-the-radar property has potential to become “one of the world's best hotels.” Sergeant also shares why many U.S. travelers are no longer putting off booking trips to bucket list destinations like Africa and why last-minute travel planning remains a major obstacle for advisors.

    On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks to SmartFlyer-affiliated travel advisor Sarah Lopez and Travel Weekly managing editor Rebecca Tobin about their recent visits to the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

    Lopez and Tobin talk about 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay’s prime position along Kauai’s famed North Shore and why the property offers an ideal wellness retreat-style experience, without being an “in your face” wellness destination. The pair chat about some of their favorite amenities at the resort, from delicious bagels at the property’s Neighbors cafe venue to complimentary access to electric Audi e‑tron vehicles.

Additionally, they touch on their favorite on-property culinary options, from the resort’s D Richards steakhouse to the Tokyo Bay modern Japanese concept, and also talk about why being able to market the property’s charter flight service from New York’s Westchester County Airport and the Fort Lauderdale Airport is a “gamechanger.”

    12 Aug 2024The Last Resort: Rosewood Schloss Fuschl00:19:17

    On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks to Pamela Schein Murphy, a Fora-affiliated luxury travel advisor and founder of The Wandrist, about her recent visit to the Rosewood Schloss Fuschl near Salzburg, Austria.

    Schein Murphy dishes on the newly opened lakefront property, which she describes as having an “adult summer camp” feel. She also raves about Lake Fuschl’s Caribbean-like turquoise waters and the property’s Saint-Tropez-esque beach club, which serves up an especially tasty octopus. Schein Murphy also talks about why the Rosewood Schloss Fuschl offers a refreshing alternative to Europe's overcrowded hotspots—and might be the perfect option for clients seeking to escape the continent's scorching summer temps.

    Currently in its second 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 ninth episode of the second season will be posted on September 9.
