Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Cancún. Cancún and the Riviera Maya are North American winter markets that follow flight schedules. Christmas, New Year, Spring Break and Easter are the top weeks, and hurricane season is quiet. Guests stay about a week, often arriving on weekend flights.
For one Riviera Maya condo or a growing group of units, I review your tax setup, how your weekly ladder matches flight arrivals, and which part of the coast you actually compete in, then build a calendar that treats Spring Break, Easter and hurricane season as the very different periods they are.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Cancún.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

I open holiday dates early with a seven night minimum and firm rates, because Canadian and US families plan these weeks around school calendars and fixed charter flights.
Steady snowbird and couples demand fills this stretch, so I keep weekly pricing and use a small discount for stays of two weeks or more rather than cutting nightly rates.
Spring Break in the Hotel Zone and Mexican holiday travel at Easter get separate bands; I price each week by its school calendar instead of treating March as one flat month.
Sargassum can affect some beaches in these months, so I keep rates realistic, highlight cenotes and pools in the listing, and use summer family demand from Mexico City and Monterrey.
I set a firm floor and loosen minimum stays to three nights, adding flexible cancellation so storm-wary guests still commit, then lift rates again as Día de Muertos and US Thanksgiving approach.
Price Christmas, New Year, Spring Break and Easter as top bands.
Use 5 to 7-night stays aligned with flight patterns.
Price Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Puerto Morelos separately.
Set hurricane-season floors with flexible cancellation.
Add wedding weekends in Playa del Carmen.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |
| Implementation support | Setup in your systems and team training | Quoted |

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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the weekly discount ladder lines up with Saturday and Sunday charter arrivals, since gaps of one or two nights between weekly stays are the most common hidden loss I find here.
Busiest in Cancún: Mid-December to April, with Christmas, New Year, Spring Break and Easter as the highest weeks. March to Semana Santa: Spring Break in the Hotel Zone and Mexican holiday travel at Easter get separate bands; I price each week by its school calendar instead of treating March as one flat month. Mid-December to early January: I open holiday dates early with a seven night minimum and firm rates, because Canadian and US families plan these weeks around school calendars and fixed charter flights. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Holiday premiums and minimum stays, hurricane-season floors, and weekly discount ladders that match flight patterns. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Cancún calendar before I make it. May to August: Sargassum can affect some beaches in these months, so I keep rates realistic, highlight cenotes and pools in the listing, and use summer family demand from Mexico City and Monterrey.
Christmas, New Year, Spring Break and Easter are the top weeks, and hurricane season is quiet. Guests stay about a week, often arriving on weekend flights. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Cancún.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Cancún the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use 5 to 7-night stays aligned with flight patterns. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Cancún sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia. March to Semana Santa: Spring Break in the Hotel Zone and Mexican holiday travel at Easter get separate bands; I price each week by its school calendar instead of treating March as one flat month. For hotel revenue management consulting in Cancún, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Cancún, not the city. Price Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Puerto Morelos separately. Next: add wedding weekends in Playa del Carmen.
Puerto Morelos: A quieter fishing village between Cancún and Playa with reef access; I position it for families and returning guests who value calm over nightlife, with a modest premium on beach homes. Hotel Zone, Cancún and Playacar and Quinta Avenida, Playa del Carmen get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Cancún, not the market average.
