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 St. Simons. St. Simons and Jekyll Island are family beach markets with a long spring and summer. Families book week-long stays, golf brings couples in the shoulders, and turtle-nesting season adds interest. Large beach houses compete by bedroom count. I use weekly summer pricing and build shoulder demand around golf and festivals.
For Golden Isles owners I look at how the home fits between St. Simons, Jekyll and Sea Island demand, then rebuild the summer week structure, shoulder pricing and winter floor with you. The goal is a calendar where spring break, turtle season, the RSM Classic and the quiet months each have a plan.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in St. Simons.
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.
I keep the islands priced for couples and quiet escapes, with short stays allowed and holiday weeks treated as the only real exceptions to an otherwise soft winter floor.
Spring break weeks for Georgia, Florida and Tennessee schools arrive in waves, so I map those districts and lift only the weeks they overlap rather than raising all of March.
Turtle nesting begins and families arrive for full weeks; I open these dates early, protect changeover days and avoid any last-minute discounting until gaps appear inside two weeks.
Once schools restart I shorten stays, price Shrimp and Grits weekend on Jekyll as a premium, and pitch golf couples and retirees who prefer cooler, less crowded beaches.
The RSM Classic at Sea Island brings players, staff and fans, so I lift that week for St. Simons homes and then let Thanksgiving carry the family market.
Run summer on Saturday-to-Saturday weekly stays.
Price beach houses by bedroom count against similar homes.
Add the Shrimp and Grits Festival in September as a premium.
Target golf couples with shorter shoulder-season stays.
Lower December and January floors.
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.

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 listing describes beach access and walking distance to East Beach or the Pier, since family guests sort by that before they ever look at nightly price.
Busiest in St. Simons: March to August, peaking over the summer school holidays and spring break, with the Jekyll Island Shrimp and Grits Festival in September as a shoulder spike. February to April: Spring break weeks for Georgia, Florida and Tennessee schools arrive in waves, so I map those districts and lift only the weeks they overlap rather than raising all of March. May to mid-August: Turtle nesting begins and families arrive for full weeks; I open these dates early, protect changeover days and avoid any last-minute discounting until gaps appear inside two weeks. 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.
Saturday-to-Saturday summer minimums, per-bedroom beach-house positioning, and shoulder-season rate cards that lean on turtle-nesting and festival demand. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the St. Simons calendar before I make it. Late August to October: Once schools restart I shorten stays, price Shrimp and Grits weekend on Jekyll as a premium, and pitch golf couples and retirees who prefer cooler, less crowded beaches.

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

Jekyll Island: Limited rental stock near Driftwood Beach and the Club district means I open summer early and protect weekly stays instead of selling scattered nights.
