“Antigua and Barbuda is a winter villa market for affluent North American and UK guests, with Sailing Week in spring as the standout event. The currency is pegged to the US dollar, which makes planning simple. The real work is protecting Christmas and Sailing Week rates and setting honest floors for hurricane season.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Antigua and Barbuda regulates tourist accommodation through its national tourism authority, with hotels, villas and short-term rentals expected to register, and a guest or accommodation levy applies to stays alongside the Antigua and Barbuda Sales Tax (ABST) on services. Registration and the accommodation levy are the baseline national requirements. As a Leeward island in the hurricane track, autumn floors and clear cancellation terms sit alongside the strong winter premiums.
Rates are set in Antigua and Barbuda uses the East Caribbean dollar (XCD), pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate, with US dollars widely accepted, so pricing is dollar-stable. That lets us plan the winter and Sailing Week seasons without any currency variable. and priced for net revenue after channel fees. Channels: Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com carry most demand, with Vrbo strong for the west-coast villa market..

I set seven night minimums for villas over Christmas and New Year, open these dates a year ahead and avoid any late discounting, because repeat winter guests plan early.
British half-term in February and Easter lift specific weeks, so I price those above the January baseline and keep villa stays weekly where demand supports it.
The Classic Yacht Regatta and Sailing Week fill English and Falmouth Harbour, so I build both as a premium block and let crews book the full race period.
Summer is calmer, so I lower floors gently, welcome shorter stays and price Carnival, which peaks around the first days of August, as its own short season.
In the heart of hurricane season I set honest floors, offer flexible cancellation and give Independence on 1 November and early-season bookers a fair rate.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Antigua and Barbuda needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For villa and cottage owners in Antigua and Barbuda, I review how your property competes with resorts and neighbouring villas, check the registration and levy, and plan the year around Christmas, Sailing Week, Carnival and hurricane season. You leave with a clear rate plan for each part of the season.
For Antiguan hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with weekly minimums in winter, a premium block for the regatta fortnight, Carnival as a short summer peak and honest floors from August to October. Rates on Airbnb, Vrbo and any villa agency come from the same base.
With my five-star hotel background, I help Antiguan hotels and resorts plan rates across tour operators, OTAs and direct bookings, protect the winter and regatta weeks with rate fences, and keep the hurricane season commercially sensible without discounting so deeply that it damages winter rates.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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!
Airbnb host
December to April, with Christmas and Sailing Week highest.
Yes, with the national tourism authority. Alaa checks it first.
Usually not at the start. Crews and supporters often want the full week, and a short stay booked early can block the whole period. I open the regatta dates with a longer minimum and only relax it close in if gaps remain, so the property earns the full value of the event.
I do not try to beat them on price. A villa sells space, privacy and a kitchen, and families or groups often get better value overall. I make that value clear in the listing and price against comparable villas, while keeping an eye on resort rates for the same weeks.
Yes. Alaa works 1-on-1 with hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, Airbnb hosts and property management companies throughout Antigua and Barbuda, remotely, with no minimum or maximum portfolio size. Prices are billed in USD and the strategy is built for Antigua and Barbuda uses the East Caribbean dollar (XCD), pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate, with US dollars widely accepted, so pricing is dollar-stable.
