Pacific Palms Resort is the only full-service luxury golf and conference resort in Los Angeles County. Their glorious hilltop location set against the majestic San Gabriel Valley Mountains provides spectacular views to enjoy from their hotel in the City of Industry. Many guest activities make Pacific Palms Resort unique, even in the Los Angeles resort and spa hotel circle.

Why it matters: Pacific Palms was looking for a way to strengthen guest loyalty and remain competitive against larger brands and OTAs that offer robust loyalty programs.

With growing pressure to improve direct booking performance and enhance guest retention without heavily discounting rates, the hotel turned to The Guestbook as a flexible, cost-effective solution to implement a modern and appealing rewards program.

Top 3 Core Objectives: While they maintained a steady stream of bookings, they noticed a lack of repeat business and limited tools to directly incentivize guests to book through their own website.

Increased Direct Booking Performance: The hotel saw a 14.1% Increase in Revenue.
14.9X Return on Investment: The program proved to be both effective and cost-efficient, with an average total program cost.
22.4% in Cross Network: The hotel saw a significant lift in cross-network bookings from the Guestbook.

"We’ve always been proud of our location and service, but now we have the tools to keep guests coming back."
