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 Montego Bay: North American and UK winter travel; Reggae Sumfest; Cruise calls; Wedding travel. Guests I price for: North American and UK couples and families on 5 to 7 night stays. Where I start: Winter premiums, festival weeks, and hurricane-season floors.
My early career was five-star hotel revenue, so for boutique hotels on the north coast I work on the balance between tour operator allocations, wedding blocks and direct bookings, and on rate fences that stop all-inclusive competitors from setting your winter price for you.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Montego Bay.
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.
“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.”
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.
Price December to April as the main season.
Price Reggae Sumfest week.
Use weekly stays.
Price Negril separately.

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 |

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.

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 Montego Bay: December to April, with Christmas and Spring Break the highest, and Reggae Sumfest in July. 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. January to mid-April: 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. 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 describes the drive from Sangster International, since a guest weighing Negril against Montego Bay wants the real transfer time before comparing two nightly rates.
Use weekly stays. Next: set hurricane-season floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Montego Bay 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 Montego Bay: September to October. August to November: 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. Late April to June: 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.
Negril priced like Montego Bay and hurricane season priced like winter. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Montego Bay, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Montego Bay, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Montego Bay sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. January to mid-April: 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.
Seven Mile Beach, Negril: Sunset beachfront that sells to couples on full weeks; I price it on view and sand access and avoid gaps by matching check-in days to airport transfer patterns. West End cliffs, Negril and Rose Hall and Ironshore 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.
Wedding travel, North American and UK winter travel and Reggae Sumfest are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Montego Bay. August to November: 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.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Montego Bay I would start from January to mid-April: 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.
