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 Ericeira. Ericeira and the Silver Coast are surf markets, which makes them almost year-round. Summer brings beach families, while October to March brings the Nazaré big-wave season and serious surfers. The quiet gap is spring. I price by swell season as much as by summer.
For owners on the Silver Coast I separate surf demand from beach demand and check how the swell calendar, summer weeks and festivals are priced. The plan usually builds a near year-round calendar with surf-season rates, summer minimum stays and longer-stay offers for spring.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Ericeira.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Big-wave swells at Nazaré and solid winter surf in Ericeira bring surfers and spectators, so I keep surf-season rates firm and offer weekly stays rather than cutting to a winter floor.
The quiet weeks between surf and beach seasons are my focus for longer-stay offers, so I add weekly and monthly discounts and target remote workers and surf schools.
Beach families from Lisbon and abroad fill the coast, so I price weekends and summer holiday weeks firmly and set four to seven-night minimums near the best beaches.
The swell season returns and the Nazaré tow-surfing challenge can be called at short notice, so I keep some flexibility and lift prices when a big swell is forecast.
Price June to September for beach visitors.
Price October to March for surf visitors, especially near Nazaré.
Offer weekly and monthly surfer rates.
Price Ericeira, Peniche and Nazaré separately.
Keep AL registration current.
Performance has flattened

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.

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 calendar reacts to big swell forecasts and events like the Nazaré tow-surfing challenge, since those dates can be announced with only days of notice.
Busiest in Ericeira: June to September for the beaches and October to March for the Nazare big-wave swells. October to December: The swell season returns and the Nazaré tow-surfing challenge can be called at short notice, so I keep some flexibility and lift prices when a big swell is forecast. January to March: Big-wave swells at Nazaré and solid winter surf in Ericeira bring surfers and spectators, so I keep surf-season rates firm and offer weekly stays rather than cutting to a winter floor. 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.
A near year-round surf calendar that fills the winter big-wave months, AL registration along the Silver Coast, and swell-driven pricing rather than a simple summer peak. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Ericeira calendar before I make it. October to December: The swell season returns and the Nazaré tow-surfing challenge can be called at short notice, so I keep some flexibility and lift prices when a big swell is forecast.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.

Nazaré and Óbidos: Big-wave spectators in Nazaré and festival visitors in walled Óbidos; I price Nazaré for swell days and Óbidos for its Christmas village and medieval market. Ericeira and Peniche and Baleal get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Ericeira, not the market average.
