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 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.
For a Tulum condo or a small group of units, I review how your listing stands out against the development next door, how festival weeks are opened and protected, and how low-season floors are set, then give you a plan that avoids the race to the bottom.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Tulum.
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.

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.
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 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. 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.
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 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.
Festival-week premiums, high-supply condo positioning, and low-season floors that avoid a race to the bottom. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Tulum calendar before I make it. 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.
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. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting 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 hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: position condos against the huge Aldea Zamá and La Veleta supply. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.

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.
