Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Biarritz: surfing on the Cote des Basques and Grande Plage; Fetes de Bayonne; Belle Epoque Biarritz; Saint-Jean-de-Luz and the Basque coast. Guests I price for: surfers and French and Spanish families on 5 to 7 night stays in central Biarritz, Anglet and Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Where I start: peak-summer and Fetes de Bayonne premiums, the Biarritz change-of-use compensation rules that restrict new holiday lets, and a September surf shoulder.
For hotels on the Basque coast I draw on my five-star chain background to balance French and Spanish leisure demand, surf groups and events, set length-of-stay rules for summer and festivals, and choose comps by town and beach rather than star rating alone.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Biarritz.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“Biarritz and the Basque coast are surf and beach markets with a big summer festival, the Fêtes de Bayonne. Biarritz has also introduced change-of-use compensation rules that make new holiday lets hard to create, so existing authorised ones are valuable. September's surf season extends the year.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Winter surfers and weekend visitors from Bordeaux and Spain keep some demand. I price weekends modestly and offer monthly stays to remote workers.
Easter, French bank holidays and early surfers bring spring demand. I price long weekends higher and open summer dates with confident rates.
French and Spanish families, surfers and the Fêtes de Bayonne fill the coast. I price by the week with firm minimums and lift the festival days.
Warm seas and strong swells bring surfers and couples. I step rates down gradually and allow shorter stays from mid-September.
Price July, August and Fêtes de Bayonne as the top bands.
Build a September surf shoulder with weekly stays.
Price Biarritz, Anglet and Saint-Jean-de-Luz separately.

No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Busiest in Biarritz: July and August for the beaches and the Fetes de Bayonne, with a strong September surf season. July to August: French and Spanish families, surfers and the Fêtes de Bayonne fill the coast. I price by the week with firm minimums and lift the festival days. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether the listing shows the walk to the nearest surf beach and parking, because summer guests choose by beach access and a place to leave the car.
Price Biarritz, Anglet and Saint-Jean-de-Luz separately. Next: display registration numbers. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Biarritz property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Biarritz: November to March. November to March: Winter surfers and weekend visitors from Bordeaux and Spain keep some demand. I price weekends modestly and offer monthly stays to remote workers. April to June: Easter, French bank holidays and early surfers bring spring demand. I price long weekends higher and open summer dates with confident rates.
September priced as low season and unauthorised holiday lets. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Biarritz, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Biarritz, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Biarritz sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Abritel. July to August: French and Spanish families, surfers and the Fêtes de Bayonne fill the coast. I price by the week with firm minimums and lift the festival days.
Côte des Basques: The surf beach below the cliffs, popular with surfers and couples. I price sea views and walking access highly and keep September firm. Anglet and Chambre d'Amour and Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Guéthary get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
