Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides hotel revenue management consulting for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Maui, United States, one to one, remotely and in Hawaii Standard Time (UTC-10). In Maui, I price January to March and Mid-December to New Year as the peak and September to mid-December as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Hotel revenue management consulting is a fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement quoted after a free discovery call, based on room count, room types, channels and scope. An audit with a strategy roadmap is a single project fee, usually delivered in four to eight weeks.

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 Maui. Maui is going through a structural change. The county is phasing out short-term rentals in many apartment-zoned buildings over the next few years, and West Maui is still recovering from the 2023 fires. So the first question for any Maui owner is how long the property can keep operating as a vacation rental, and what the plan is after that. Pricing for the years that remain has to reflect that horizon.
For a Maui owner I start with the legal horizon of the property, then build a pricing plan for the nightly years that remain and a fallback for monthly or longer stays. I also check how the unit stacks up inside its own complex, because that is where guests compare it.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Maui.
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.
Whale season and the Kapalua golf tournament in January keep demand high, so I hold weekly rates firm and only shorten minimum stays to close gaps of three or four nights.
After Easter the island quietens, so I lower the floor, offer seven-night value pricing to West Coast and Canadian travellers, and keep honeymoon weekends priced with care.
School holidays bring families who book well ahead, so I price larger condos and villas firmly from early spring and let couples' units carry midweek offers instead.
This is the softest stretch, so I build weekly and monthly ladders, price Thanksgiving week on its own, and avoid deep nightly cuts that would reset expectations for winter.
Holiday weeks are the most valuable nights of the year; I open them a year ahead with seven-night minimums and fixed changeover days to stop broken weeks.
Confirm whether the building is affected by the county's phase-out and plan pricing around the remaining operating period.
Use weekly discount ladders, since mainland and Canadian guests stay 5 to 10 nights.
Price whale season from January to March and the holiday period as the top bands.
Price by view and building against units in the same resort or complex.
Prepare a long-term or mid-term rate card for units that will lose short-stay eligibility.
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 unit compares with others in the same complex on view, floor, air conditioning and renovation, since Maui guests choose a resort first and a unit second.
Busiest in Maui: Mid-December to March and June to August, with whale season from January to March. Mid-December to New Year: Holiday weeks are the most valuable nights of the year; I open them a year ahead with seven-night minimums and fixed changeover days to stop broken weeks. January to March: Whale season and the Kapalua golf tournament in January keep demand high, so I hold weekly rates firm and only shorten minimum stays to close gaps of three or four nights. 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.
Weekly discount ladders, holiday premiums, and compliance with Maui County's short-term rental zoning. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Maui calendar before I make it. September to mid-December: This is the softest stretch, so I build weekly and monthly ladders, price Thanksgiving week on its own, and avoid deep nightly cuts that would reset expectations for winter.
Maui is going through a structural change. The county is phasing out short-term rentals in many apartment-zoned buildings over the next few years, and West Maui is still recovering from the 2023 fires. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Maui.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Maui the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use weekly discount ladders, since mainland and Canadian guests stay 5 to 10 nights. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Maui sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia. June to August: School holidays bring families who book well ahead, so I price larger condos and villas firmly from early spring and let couples' units carry midweek offers instead. For hotel revenue management consulting in Maui, 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 Maui, not the city. Price whale season from January to March and the holiday period as the top bands. Next: prepare a long-term or mid-term rate card for units that will lose short-stay eligibility.
Napili and Kapalua: Quiet West Maui bays near the golf courses; I price for couples and repeat guests and watch the area's recovery closely before assuming demand. Kihei and Wailea and Makena get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Maui, not the market average.
