Property description:

Established in 1997 with 22 rooms, Blue Bay Hotel has undergone significant expansion. This led to the founding of Blue Bay S.A. In 2008, they elevated the hotel experience with new additions and top-tier services. Today, their establishment boasts 69 rooms and suites, each offering breathtaking views. The Tsapanidis family’s vision was to create a haven of discreet luxury, imbued with a warm atmosphere in an exceptional natural setting.

The Challenge

Before implementing hotellab, the team at Blue Bay Hotel faced several challenges in managing their pricing strategy effectively.

The General Manager, responsible for revenue optimization, struggled with time-consuming manual work and a lack of centralized tools. Monitoring competitors required switching between multiple platforms, as there was no dedicated Rate Shopper. At the same time, adjusting prices across 12 different room types was complex and inefficient, making it difficult to react quickly to market changes.

Additionally, the absence of seamless integration with their Channel Manager, primalres, created further operational friction and increased the risk of inconsistencies in pricing.

Why hotellab RMS

hotellab RMS seemed like the perfect fit for Blue Bay Hotel’s needs because of:

Built-in Rate Shopper functionality for real-time competitor monitoring
No need to switch between multiple tools, improving efficiency
Seamless integration with the hotel’s Channel Manager, Primalres
Ensured smooth data synchronization and reduced manual workload

Implementation Journey

Olga Tsapanidou, CEO at Blue Bay Hotel, noted:

The implementation process was straightforward. We set up integration with our PMS, Protel, and our distribution systems, webhotelier & primalres. After filling out some strategy forms, we received our logins within three weeks, which was perfectly timed just before the start of the season. In the initial weeks, we worked closely with our dedicated manager to get properly acquainted with the system, and I was ready to make the most of it for the busy season.
