“Punta del Este is one of the most seasonal markets in the Americas. Argentine and Brazilian families rent for a week or two from late December to February, New Year is the top week and the rest of the year is very quiet. Montevideo is steadier, with Carnival.”

New Year week and the first half of January carry the highest rates in Punta, with weekly or fortnightly minimums and fixed changeover days.
Argentine and Brazilian families keep homes full, so I price by fortnight and avoid splitting weeks, while Montevideo's long Carnival keeps city weekends busy.
Uruguay's Easter week brings domestic travellers and some Argentines back to the coast, so I price that week as its own short season and keep the rest of autumn modest.
Punta goes quiet, so I set long-stay and monthly rates for remote workers and residents, while Montevideo keeps steady business demand in Pocitos and Ciudad Vieja.
Long weekends and early spring visitors return, so I open summer rates early and protect New Year and January weeks before short bookings fill them.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Montevideo needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For a Punta del Este home or a Montevideo apartment, I review how summer is sold by week and fortnight, how the long off-season is handled and whether currency and exchange-rate swings are reflected in the calendar, then build a plan that fits both cities.
I set up your pricing tool with fortnightly summer pricing, a New Year premium, fixed changeover days and long off-season monthly rates, keeping Airbnb and Booking.com aligned on currency, taxes and cancellation terms, so Argentine and Brazilian families see the same total on both.
My background is five-star hotel revenue, so for hotels in Punta del Este and Montevideo I work on the intense summer peak, group and event blocks, fences for New Year and Carnival and a comp set chosen by beach and district.

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!
Airbnb host
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!
Airbnb host
Often one or two weeks in summer.
Less than Punta. Alaa prices it separately.
Most summer rentals in Punta are priced in US dollars, which suits Argentine and Brazilian guests who think in dollars for travel. I keep the currency consistent across channels and watch exchange-rate swings that can change demand quickly from Buenos Aires.
I set monthly and long-stay rates for remote workers and residents, then price long weekends and Semana de Turismo separately. Off-season demand is thin, so I protect the floor and avoid deep cuts that teach guests to expect cheap rates next summer too.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Montevideo, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Uruguay Time (UTC-3).
