Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides hotel revenue management consulting for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Koh Samui, Thailand, one to one, remotely and in Indochina Time (UTC+7).

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 Koh Samui. Koh Samui and Koh Phangan are villa islands with two peaks and a late-year monsoon. Families and couples stay one to two weeks, Full Moon Party weeks lift Koh Phangan and wellness retreats fill quieter months. Guests choosing a villa compare pools, views and distance to the beach closely, so those features need clear price tiers rather than one island-wide rate.
For Samui and Phangan villa owners, I review licensing, travel access and how your villa compares on pools, views and service. Then we set weekly pricing for both peaks, monsoon floors, Full Moon premiums where relevant and wellness offers for the shoulder months, so every season has a clear target.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Koh Samui.
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.
Dry, sunny weather and European winter breaks keep villas full; I hold weekly rates firm, require seven-night stays for large villas and price Easter as its own premium.
Samui stays drier than the Andaman coast, which many travellers do not realise, so I market that advantage and keep rates reasonable rather than cutting deeply.
European summer holidays bring families back; I raise rates for villas with several bedrooms and pools, and keep weekly minimums through August.
Demand eases before the rains, so I target couples and wellness guests with shorter stays and retreat packages while keeping a sensible floor.
Heavy rains arrive late in the year on this side of Thailand, so I lower floors, allow shorter stays and offer long-stay deals for remote workers.
Price December to March and July to August as top seasons.
Use weekly villa stays.
Price Full Moon Party weeks on Koh Phangan.
Target wellness retreats in shoulder months.
Lower October and November 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.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

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!

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 shows travel time from the airport or ferry pier, since guests weigh expensive flights and boat transfers against the villa price.
Busiest in Koh Samui: December to March and July to August, with Full Moon Party weeks on Koh Phangan. January to April: Dry, sunny weather and European winter breaks keep villas full; I hold weekly rates firm, require seven-night stays for large villas and price Easter as its own premium. July to August: European summer holidays bring families back; I raise rates for villas with several bedrooms and pools, and keep weekly minimums through August. 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.
Villa weekly pricing, Full Moon premiums, and monsoon floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Koh Samui calendar before I make it. September: Demand eases before the rains, so I target couples and wellness guests with shorter stays and retreat packages while keeping a sensible floor.
Families and couples stay one to two weeks, Full Moon Party weeks lift Koh Phangan and wellness retreats fill quieter months. Guests choosing a villa compare pools, views and distance to the beach closely, so those features need clear price tiers rather than one island-wide rate. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Koh Samui.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Koh Samui the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use weekly villa stays. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Koh Samui sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda and Vrbo. July to August: European summer holidays bring families back; I raise rates for villas with several bedrooms and pools, and keep weekly minimums through August. For hotel revenue management consulting in Koh Samui, 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 Koh Samui, not the city. Price Full Moon Party weeks on Koh Phangan. Next: lower October and November floors.
Srithanu, Koh Phangan: The yoga and wellness hub of the island; I price for retreats and monthly stays rather than party weeks, which mostly affect Haad Rin. Bophut and Fisherman's Village and Chaweng Noi and Choeng Mon get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Koh Samui, not the market average.
