The Mahekal Beach Resort on the Riviera Maya has named Marina Colunga its new director of sales and marketing.

“Marina Colunga brings unparalleled experience in sales and marketing on a local, national and global level, having held director positions for more than a decade with leading luxury resorts around the world,” said Julian Smaldoni, Managing Director of Mahekal Beach Resort. “Marina’s leadership skills, paired with her drive for success, industry knowledge and strong relationships make her a true asset to our Mahekal family.”

The 196-room resort is located on 920 feet of beachfront between the Riviera Maya jungle and the coast.
