Airbnb Revenue Management Consultant in Tulum at a glance
Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Airbnb revenue management for Airbnb hosts, vacation rental owners and property managers in Tulum, Mexico, one to one, remotely and in Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5). In Tulum, I price Mid-December to mid-January as the peak and September to November as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Airbnb revenue management is priced monthly by listing count, from $225 a month for one listing and $325 for two, with Plus at 35 percent more and Pro at 75 percent more than Core. It runs month to month and is never a percentage of revenue.
Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.
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 revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Tulum.

“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.”

How I price it
My Tulum calendar, and what I do in each period
Mid-December to mid-JanuaryPeak
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 AprilHigh
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.
May to AugustShoulder
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.
September to NovemberLow
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.
Where I price differently in Tulum
Aldea Zamá
Dense condo supply between town and beach; I price against near-identical units and compete on photos, pool size and reviews rather than a lower nightly rate.
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.
Hotel Zone beach road
Boutique stays on the sand with limited supply and high expectations; I price these at the top of the market and protect festival and holiday weeks firmly.
What I check first in Tulum
How the condo looks in search results next to hundreds of similar units in the same development, because photos, pool shots and amenities often matter more than price in this crowded supply.
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.
Whether the holiday and festival minimum stays are set before the dates open, because Tulum condos often fill early with short bookings that block the most valuable nights.
