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 San Juan. San Juan is an easy winter escape for Americans, with no passport needed. Winter, the San Sebastián Street Festival and Spring Break are the peaks, and cruise arrivals create short stays. Concert tourism has boosted demand in recent years. Hurricane season is quiet.
For a San Juan apartment or a few units, I review registration and taxes, how cruise nights and festival weekends are priced, and whether Old San Juan, Condado and Isla Verde homes are benchmarked correctly, then give you a clear plan for the whole year.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in San Juan.
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.
Holiday visitors and families returning to the island fill homes, so I set four night minimums and keep rates firm until the Three Kings celebrations on January 6.
The San Sebastián Street Festival packs Old San Juan, so I build that weekend as a premium block with two or three night minimums and keep Condado closer to winter pricing.
Winter escapes and Spring Break keep demand strong, so I price by night but watch cruise schedules and avoid empty single nights between longer bookings.
Summer brings families, Puerto Rican diaspora travel and concert weekends, so I lift dates around big shows at the Coliseo and keep weekday rates competitive.
Storm season needs a floor and flexible cancellation, then Thanksgiving week gets a premium as mainland travellers return for the start of the season.
Price December to April as the main season.
Price San Sebastián Street Festival as a January premium.
Allow short pre-cruise stays.
Price Old San Juan, Condado and Ocean Park separately.
Set hurricane-season floors.
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.

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 handles pre-cruise and post-cruise nights, since one-night bookings near the piers can fill gaps but also break longer stays if the rules are too loose.
Busiest in San Juan: December to April, with the San Sebastián Street Festival in January and Spring Break. February to April: Winter escapes and Spring Break keep demand strong, so I price by night but watch cruise schedules and avoid empty single nights between longer bookings. Mid-December to early January: Holiday visitors and families returning to the island fill homes, so I set four night minimums and keep rates firm until the Three Kings celebrations on January 6. 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.
Holiday and festival premiums, cruise-night pricing, and hurricane-season floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the San Juan calendar before I make it. May to August: Summer brings families, Puerto Rican diaspora travel and concert weekends, so I lift dates around big shows at the Coliseo and keep weekday rates competitive.
