How VIP Hospitality Group Unified 11 Independent Properties on a Single, Customizable PMS

When the on-premise PMS that VIP Hospitality Group had relied on for nearly 20 years pushed its properties toward a new cloud-based version, the transition didn't go as promised. The new platform ran on Amazon's servers but functioned as little more than a re-skinned version of the old on-premise product, and it came with persistent bugs and integrations that couldn't keep pace with the rest of the industry. Around the same time, changes on the credit card processing side made continuing with the same setup even harder. Regional Director Stephen Davis, who oversees revenue management, systems configuration, and PMS-to-OTA mapping across the portfolio, led the search for a replacement. VIP Hospitality Group evaluated roughly two dozen PMS providers and ran demos on most of them before choosing Stayntouch

Sandos Hotels & Resorts: +20% Increase in Direct Bookings in Less Than a Year

Sandos Hotels & Resorts operates six all-inclusive hotels in Spain. Until October 2025, its digital presence in the Spanish market was overshadowed by the global Sandos Hotels & Resorts brand, which also includes properties in Mexico. Sandos.es did not exist as a standalone brand: it lacked a distinct identity, its booking engine was not tailored to the needs of the European—particularly the Spanish—market, and its website conversion rate was low. Direct bookings accounted for less than 5% of total reservations. In October 2025, Sandos partnered with Neobookings with a clear objective: to establish Sandos.es as a dedicated brand for the Spanish market, strengthen its direct booking strategy, and build long-term guest loyalty. One result stood out from day one: at no point did bookings decline during the transition. On the contrary, direct bookings have grown steadily and consistently since the new strategy was launched. Although Sandos has been working with Neobookings for less than a full season, the results already demonstrate the impact of a focused direct booking strategy.
