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 Marbella. Marbella is a luxury summer market with golf in winter. The Golden Mile and Puerto Banús attract affluent couples and families, Starlite Festival and the Feria de San Bernabé add June and July peaks, and golf breaks keep winter alive. Andalusian tourist licences are required.
For a Marbella villa or apartment, I check the licence, define the true luxury comp set and review the service offer, then write a plan that captures summer and event premiums and keeps golf demand alive through the winter months.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Marbella.
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.
Golf groups and winter-sun couples keep a base of demand. I price homes near the courses in Nueva Andalucia for golf weeks and keep Golden Mile villas on protected floors.
Easter and spring golf lift the market. I price Semana Santa as a premium and keep weekends firm for couples visiting Puerto Banus and the old town.
The Feria de San Bernabe and the start of Starlite concerts mark the season opening. I price those nights firmly and move villas onto weekly stays.
Luxury summer demand from Europe and the Gulf peaks. I price villas at the top of the luxury comp set and protect Starlite concert dates with minimum stays.
Autumn golf and warm weather hold demand. I relax minimums for couples and price golf weeks for groups.
Price Starlite Festival dates and the Feria as premiums.
Use weekly stays in peak summer for villas.
Target golf groups with winter rates.
Price Golden Mile and Puerto Banús homes against luxury comps.
Keep the tourist licence current.
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.

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 villa compares with true luxury comps on the Golden Mile and in Sierra Blanca, because pricing a high-end home against ordinary rentals leaves money on the table.
Busiest in Marbella: June to September, peaking around the Starlite Festival and the Feria de San Bernabe in June. September to October: Autumn golf and warm weather hold demand. I relax minimums for couples and price golf weeks for groups. June: The Feria de San Bernabe and the start of Starlite concerts mark the season opening. I price those nights firmly and move villas onto weekly stays. 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.
Event and summer premiums on the Golden Mile, VFT tourist-licence compliance under the Junta de Andalucia, and winter golf floors that keep occupancy alive off season. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Marbella calendar before I make it. July to August: Luxury summer demand from Europe and the Gulf peaks. I price villas at the top of the luxury comp set and protect Starlite concert dates with minimum stays.
The Golden Mile and Puerto Banús attract affluent couples and families, Starlite Festival and the Feria de San Bernabé add June and July peaks, and golf breaks keep winter alive. Andalusian tourist licences are required. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Marbella.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Marbella the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use weekly stays in peak summer for villas. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Marbella sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. June: The Feria de San Bernabe and the start of Starlite concerts mark the season opening. I price those nights firmly and move villas onto weekly stays. For hotel revenue management consulting in Marbella, 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 Marbella, not the city. Target golf groups with winter rates. Next: keep the tourist licence current.
Nueva Andalucia: Known as the Golf Valley, with several courses close together. I price winter and shoulder golf weeks firmly here. Golden Mile and Sierra Blanca and Puerto Banus get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Marbella, not the market average.
