Hotel revenue management & direct bookings · Riviera Maya
Your hotel already has the demand. Stop giving away the margin.
I manage rates, channels and direct bookings for independent hotels with 10 to 50 rooms, so Booking.com and Expedia keep less of what you already sell.

The invisible bill
How much do you pay the OTAs every year?
Almost no hotel owner has this number at hand. Enter your rough figures and see it.
—
This is an estimate based on rough figures. In the audit I calculate it with your real numbers and show you how much of that bill can be recovered.
What I hear from owners
If any of these sound like you, I can help.
“Booking takes way too much.”
“I don't know if my rates are right.”
“We're full, but I don't know if we could earn more.”
“We get inquiries, but I don't know how many turn into bookings.”
“I don't have time to check everything.”
“I don't want to hire three people for sales.”
How I work
Less commission on the demand you already have.
I won't promise to fill your hotel. My job is to make the occupancy you already get bring in more money.
I've run real hotels
I worked on the hotel side managing rates, the channel manager and reservations. I understand the GM, the front desk and the revenue team because I've done that job.
I execute, not just advise
I don't hand you a PDF and leave. I manage rates, parity, OTAs, inventory and WhatsApp within the ranges you approve, and show you the results every month.
I guarantee process, not hype
I don't promise occupancy or revenue that depend on the market. I guarantee specific deliverables, in writing. If they're not there, you don't pay.

Who's behind it
From Argentina to the Riviera Maya, from the mats to revenue.
I arrived in Playa del Carmen four years ago, alone and without really knowing where I was headed. I took whatever work came along until a jiu-jitsu teammate opened the door to hospitality: I trained in revenue management and started running rates and channels for boutique hotels in Tulum.
I saw the same thing over and over: hotels with a great product and solid occupancy handing the platforms margin that could have stayed in-house. AgusHotelero exists to fix that.
