Whether it’s selecting the perfect home or curating memorable moments, MHV is the trusted local expert for unforgettable escapes.
With a portfolio of unique properties and growing complexity in the market, the property management business needed a scalable, data-driven pricing solution that could improve revenue and reduce time spent on manual tasks.
My Huatulco Vacation is leading the push to modernize Mexico’s short-term rental industry by advocating for direct bookings and encouraging widespread adoption of property management systems (PMS). Through industry events and upcoming educational collaborations, they’re helping professionalize the sector and drive smarter, more sustainable growth.
The Challenge
From Skepticism to Success with Dynamic Pricing
When revenue management started gaining attention in the vacation rental space, MHV was curious but skeptical. With a strong local presence and a guest base driven by international direct bookings, they weren’t sure dynamic pricing would work in their market. That changed after a candid conversation with Beyond’s CEO, Julie Brinkman, at a VRMA Executive Summit. Her thoughtful approach and understanding of MHV’s challenges convinced them to give Beyond a try.
After working closely with Beyond to refine their setup during the onboarding process, everything clicked. Their pricing strategy improved, their use of data became more strategic, and they were better positioned to support owners and grow their business.
Pricing in a Niche Market with Confidence
With Beyond, MHV moved away from rigid seasonality and leaned into data-driven decisions.
The impact?
- Owner communication dramatically improved: With the help of Beyond’s dashboards, MHV trained owners to understand the logic behind pricing instead of relying on fixed expectations.
- OTA visibility spiked: For the first time in the low season, bookings via OTAs increased significantly — a notable shift in a business that does 78% of its direct bookings.
- Real-time responsiveness: the Beyond team’s support ensured that even small changes to pacing or pricing had clear, trackable outcomes.
“We fully embraced the data, and it completely transformed how we manage performance and communicate value.”
