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 Montevideo. 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.
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.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Montevideo.
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.
“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.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
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.
Price late December to February by week and fortnight.
Price New Year as the top band.
Price José Ignacio against luxury comps.
Price Montevideo for Carnival and business.
Offer low off-season floors.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding

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.

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.

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 exchange-rate swings in Argentina affect the booking pace, since Argentine demand can move quickly when their currency changes and the calendar needs to react.
Busiest in Montevideo: Late December to February in Punta del Este, and Carnival in Montevideo. Late December to mid-January: New Year week and the first half of January carry the highest rates in Punta, with weekly or fortnightly minimums and fixed changeover days. Mid-January to February: 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. 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.
Fortnightly summer pricing in Punta, New Year premiums, and long off-season floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Montevideo calendar before I make it. May to September: 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.
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. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Montevideo.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Montevideo the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price New Year as the top band. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Montevideo sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. March to April (Semana de Turismo): 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. For hotel revenue management consulting in Montevideo, 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 Montevideo, not the city. Price José Ignacio against luxury comps. Next: offer low off-season floors.
Pocitos, Montevideo: Residential beachfront district with steady business and leisure demand; I price weekdays for business visitors and weekends for Carnival and summer visitors. La Barra and Manantiales and La Península, Punta del Este get their own treatment.
