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 Montego Bay. Montego Bay and Negril sell winter sun to North American and UK guests, with Reggae Sumfest in July as a summer highlight. Weddings are common. Hurricane season is slow. Many guests arrive for weddings or group celebrations, so homes that can host groups with clear rules can charge more in peak months. I also price Negril's quieter beach stays separately from Montego Bay's airport-convenient homes.
For a Jamaican villa or a small group of cottages, I review licensing, the winter week structure, how wedding and group enquiries are priced and whether Negril and Montego Bay homes are benchmarked against the right competitors, then hand you a full year plan you can run with your property manager.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Montego Bay.
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 set a seven night minimum across Christmas and New Year and hold the rate firm, because UK and North American families lock these villa weeks in early and rarely shop late.
I price winter by week with a Saturday arrival pattern, then add a separate band for Spring Break and Easter when college groups and families compete for the same Negril cliff homes.
Wedding season keeps larger homes busy, so I quote group rates for the whole property and let smaller units pick up couples with four night stays and a softer weekday rate.
Sumfest week in Montego Bay gets its own premium block and a three night minimum; I keep Negril closer to normal summer pricing because festival guests want to be near Catherine Hall.
I hold a floor that covers costs and offer flexible cancellation instead of deep cuts, since the guests who book storm season care about refund terms far more than a small discount.

Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.

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 the drive from Sangster International, since a guest weighing Negril against Montego Bay wants the real transfer time before comparing two nightly rates.
Busiest in Montego Bay: December to April, with Christmas and Spring Break the highest, and Reggae Sumfest in July. July (Reggae Sumfest): Sumfest week in Montego Bay gets its own premium block and a three night minimum; I keep Negril closer to normal summer pricing because festival guests want to be near Catherine Hall. Mid-December to early January: I set a seven night minimum across Christmas and New Year and hold the rate firm, because UK and North American families lock these villa weeks in early and rarely shop late. 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.
