Joie de Vivre has named Tina Harlow as General Manager of Ventana Inn & Spa, a rustic, luxury resort located in Big Sur, Calif., above the Pacific Ocean on California’s central coast.

Harlow was most recently General Manager at the Mansion on Forsyth Park in Savannah, Ga., and a regional director with the Grand Heritage Hotel Group.
