How Canavida Increased Their Revenue by 25% With PriceLabs' Customizable Dynamic Pricing

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Built from the ground up, Canavida's founders had to figure out pricing in an unfamiliar market — across high, low, and rainy seasons, holidays, and shifting waves of international and domestic travelers. Pricing by gut feel was not sustainable for a resort with 16 unique units, custom inventory, and no obvious comp set.

Why it matters: Canavida's story shows how an independent boutique resort built from scratch can grow revenue by 25% — proving that customizable dynamic pricing levels the playing field for operators competing in unique, hard-to-benchmark markets.

PriceLabs gave co-founder Jessica Seguin the structure, market visibility, and per-unit customization she needed to price like a seasoned revenue manager — without becoming one.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Canavida needed to move from gut-feel pricing to a structured revenue strategy that could handle Costa Rica's complex seasonality, mixed inventory of private-pool villas and shared-amenity condos, and shifting demand from international vs. domestic travelers — all while keeping operations lean.

Replace gut-feel pricing: Replace gut-feel pricing with market-informed dynamic pricing that captures the true value of each unique unit.
Price across seasons: Manage pricing across Costa Rica's high, low, and rainy seasons, as well as local and international holiday periods, without manual rate updates.
Customize pricing rules: Customize pricing rules — minimum stays, weekend logic, pet fees, extra-guest charges — at both the group and individual-unit levels.
