Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Koh Samui, Thailand, one to one, remotely and in Indochina Time (UTC+7). In Koh Samui, I price January to April and July to August as the peak and October to mid-December as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Koh Samui: European and Australian holiday calendars; Full Moon Party; Wellness retreats and yoga; Luxury villa and wedding travel. Guests I price for: Couples and families on 7 to 14 night villa stays. Where I start: Villa weekly pricing, Full Moon premiums, and monsoon floors.
From my five-star hotel background, I help Samui and Phangan resorts manage wedding blocks, wellness retreats and European tour operators, with rate fences for the two peaks and a plan for keeping occupancy healthy through the October and November rains.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Koh Samui.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“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.”

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.

No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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!

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 outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of 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.
Price Full Moon Party weeks on Koh Phangan. Next: lower October and November floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Koh Samui property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Koh Samui: October to November monsoon. May to June: 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. September: Demand eases before the rains, so I target couples and wellness guests with shorter stays and retreat packages while keeping a sensible floor.
Short stays in peak and full Moon weeks ignored. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Koh Samui, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Koh Samui, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Koh Samui sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda and Vrbo. May to June: 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.
Bophut and Fisherman's Village: Restaurants, the Friday walking street and calm beaches attract couples and families; I price for longer stays and lift weekend and festive dates. Chaweng Noi and Choeng Mon and Srithanu, Koh Phangan get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Luxury villa and wedding travel, European and Australian holiday calendars and Full Moon Party are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Koh Samui. October to mid-December: 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.
