An Airbnb pricing strategy is the set of rules that decide what each night is worth: base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events, minimum stays, gap nights, last-minute pricing, length-of-stay discounts and channel markups. The tool applies the rules; the strategy is what makes the tool worth having. Smart Pricing is not a strategy, because it optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate and knows nothing about your events or other channels.
What I plan around in Tulum: New Year's festival season; Wellness and yoga retreats; Tulum International Airport growth; Cenote and beach tourism. Guests I price for: Couples and friend groups from the US and Europe on 4 to 6 night stays in Aldea Zamá, La Veleta and the Hotel Zone. Where I start: Festival-week premiums, high-supply condo positioning, and low-season floors that avoid a race to the bottom.
I set up your pricing tool with festival and New Year minimums, weekly pricing through winter, a firm autumn floor and monthly terms for remote workers, so Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo all follow the same logic, taxes and cancellation terms all year.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Tulum.
I set the base from a real comp set, a minimum that protects your margin and a maximum that stops you underselling a peak night, listing by listing.
I build seasonal profiles and event premiums from the local calendar, so rates move before demand does and not after.
Minimum stays, gap and orphan nights and length-of-stay discounts are set to fill the calendar without discounting the whole month.
I configure OTA markups so your net rate is the same on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and leave time to ask anything about pricing.
“Tulum's supply of condos exploded, and the new airport brought more visitors. That combination means festival weeks and New Year still sell well, but low season can turn into a race to the bottom. I price festivals and holidays firmly and hold sensible floors instead of chasing cheap bookings.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Zamna, Day Zero and the New Year parties make this the top window, so I set five night minimums, open dates early and refuse to discount even close to arrival.
Wellness retreats, couples and Spring Break travel keep demand strong, so I hold weekly pricing and use small longer-stay discounts instead of cutting nightly rates.
Sargassum and heat soften beach demand, so I lean on cenotes, pools and quieter weeks, and offer value to European summer travellers without dropping below a sensible floor.
I hold a floor that covers fees and cleaning, offer flexible cancellation, and target remote workers on monthly stays instead of joining the discount spiral in Aldea Zamá.
Price New Year and festival weeks like Zamna and Day Zero as top bands.
Position condos against the huge Aldea Zamá and La Veleta supply.
Hold low-season floors that cover costs.
Target wellness retreats with longer stays.
Price beach-area homes separately.

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!

For Airbnb pricing strategy, the first changes are base and minimum prices and the seasonal profile, since those drive most of the revenue in Tulum. Price beach-area homes separately. Next: position condos against the huge Aldea Zamá and La Veleta supply.
Busiest in Tulum: Mid-December to mid-January, then February to April, with festival weeks such as Zamna and Day Zero. Mid-December to mid-January: Zamna, Day Zero and the New Year parties make this the top window, so I set five night minimums, open dates early and refuse to discount even close to arrival. Mid-January to April: Wellness retreats, couples and Spring Break travel keep demand strong, so I hold weekly pricing and use small longer-stay discounts instead of cutting nightly rates. For Airbnb pricing strategy, the strategy I build sets seasonal profiles, event premiums and minimum-stay rules around these windows before they open for booking.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, for the quiet months I set the minimum price, last-minute and gap-night rules and length-of-stay discounts so nights fill without dropping below your floor. Quietest in Tulum: September to October. September to November: I hold a floor that covers fees and cleaning, offer flexible cancellation, and target remote workers on monthly stays instead of joining the discount spiral in Aldea Zamá. May to August: Sargassum and heat soften beach demand, so I lean on cenotes, pools and quieter weeks, and offer value to European summer travellers without dropping below a sensible floor.
Race-to-the-bottom pricing in low season and festival weeks underpriced. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Tulum, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, i set base prices and comp sets per area, with a separate profile where two parts of Tulum behave differently. La Veleta: Newer developments with mixed road quality and fewer services; I price it for value, explain access honestly and reward longer stays from remote workers. Aldea Zamá and Hotel Zone beach road get their own treatment.
Tulum International Airport growth, Cenote and beach tourism and New Year's festival season are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Tulum. Mid-December to mid-January: Zamna, Day Zero and the New Year parties make this the top window, so I set five night minimums, open dates early and refuse to discount even close to arrival.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Tulum, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Tulum sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Mid-December to mid-January: Zamna, Day Zero and the New Year parties make this the top window, so I set five night minimums, open dates early and refuse to discount even close to arrival.
Whether the listing explains the drive or bike ride to the beach and the national park entry, since guests expecting beachfront in a town condo leave disappointed reviews. For Airbnb pricing strategy, i check this before touching a single rate, because a base price built on the wrong assumption makes every rule worse.
PriceLabs and Wheelhouse strategy sessions are one-time and priced by listing count: $125 for up to 2 listings, $250 for 3 to 6, $370 for 7 to 10 and $480 for 11 to 15, with larger portfolios priced per listing. Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing software is from $17.99 per listing per month. The scope of Airbnb pricing strategy is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Tulum I would start from mid-December to mid-January: Zamna, Day Zero and the New Year parties make this the top window, so I set five night minimums, open dates early and refuse to discount even close to arrival. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Tulum.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Tulum the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price beach-area homes separately. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
