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 San Juan: US mainland winter travel with no passport required; San Sebastián Street Festival; Cruise arrivals; Bad Bunny and concert tourism. Guests I price for: US travellers on 3 to 5 night stays in Old San Juan, Condado and Ocean Park. Where I start: Holiday and festival premiums, cruise-night pricing, and hurricane-season floors.
My background is five-star hotel revenue, so for San Juan hotels I work on cruise and airline crew demand, group and wedding blocks, fences for SanSe and concert weekends, and a comp set chosen by beach and neighbourhood rather than by chain.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in San Juan.
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.
“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.”
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.
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 |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | 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.
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!

Busiest in San Juan: December to April, with the San Sebastián Street Festival in January and Spring Break. 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. Mid-January (SanSe): 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. 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 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.
Allow short pre-cruise 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 San Juan 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 San Juan: September to October. September to November: Storm season needs a floor and flexible cancellation, then Thanksgiving week gets a premium as mainland travellers return for the start of the season. 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.
Cruise stays blocked and neighbourhoods priced from one comp set. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in San Juan, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in San Juan, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. San Juan sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia. Mid-January (SanSe): 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.
Old San Juan: Colonial streets near the cruise piers and festival crowds; I price SanSe and cruise nights separately and allow carefully chosen one-night stays to fill gaps. Condado and Isla Verde 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.
Bad Bunny and concert tourism, US mainland winter travel with no passport required and San Sebastián Street Festival are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in San Juan. September to November: Storm season needs a floor and flexible cancellation, then Thanksgiving week gets a premium as mainland travellers return for the start of the season.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in San Juan I would start from mid-January (SanSe): 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.
