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 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.
With a five-star hotel revenue background, I help Tulum boutique hotels manage festival peaks, retreat group blocks and direct bookings, set fences for high-demand weeks, and build a comp set by location, beach access and concept rather than by price alone.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Tulum.
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.
“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.
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 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 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. 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.
Hold low-season floors that cover costs. Next: price beach-area homes separately. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Tulum 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 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.
Festival weeks underpriced and condos priced from area averages. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Tulum, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Tulum, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Tulum sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. 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.
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 and Hotel Zone beach road 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.
Cenote and beach tourism, New Year's festival season and Wellness and yoga retreats are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Tulum. 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.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management 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.
