Why owners in Tulum choose Pinnacle Path
Three habits quietly drain Tulum portfolios: shoulder-season rates left untouched, distribution concentrated on one platform, and reply times measured in hours. Our onboarding attacks all three immediately. Our revenue team re-prices every listing daily against Day Zero demand, comparable RevPAR in Aldea Zama and Tulum Beach, and forward booking pace.
Compliance is handled in-house. Quintana Roo lodging tax (ISH) and SAT compliance handled. One statement per month, gross to net, every charge itemised — the same view your accountant would build themselves.
Where we operate in Tulum
We focus on the Tulum neighbourhoods where premium short-stay demand actually clears: Aldea Zama, Tulum Beach, La Veleta, Region 15, Holistika, Sian Ka'an. Pricing curves, guest profiles and minimum-stay logic differ street by street here, so a single calendar applied across the city leaves money uncollected.
Outside those pockets we are happy to assess the property, but we accept it only when the forecast clears the local benchmark.
How we price Tulum short-term rentals
The Nov – Apr window does the heavy lifting in Tulum, but the 18–32% ADR uplift our owners typically see comes from the shoulder months. We use a proprietary model that blends competitor pricing, booking-window pace, length-of-stay mix and event signals (Day Zero, Bardo, wellness retreats and Day of the Dead) — re-running every 24 hours.
Minimum stays are stricter in the Nov run-up and deliberately looser in low-demand weeks. The result is occupancy of around 83% blended across the year on a typical Tulum portfolio property.
Tulum short-term rental FAQs
Do you handle short-term rental licensing in Tulum?+
Yes. Quintana Roo lodging tax (ISH) and SAT compliance handled. We file on your behalf and renew automatically.
What occupancy and ADR can I expect from a Tulum property?+
On a well-positioned Aldea Zama or Tulum Beach residence we typically deliver around 83% blended occupancy at an ADR in the $490 range. Results differ property to property according to layout, view, facilities and how aggressively rates were held in quieter weeks.
How is Tulum demand seasonal?+
Peak runs Nov – Apr, driven by Day Zero, Bardo, wellness retreats and Day of the Dead. Peak weeks are priced with confidence, while relaxed minimum stays plus mid-term and corporate demand keep the shoulder months full.
What is your management fee?+
There is a single fee: a performance commission on the net rental revenue we generate. There is no joining fee and no supplier mark-up; the only term is the six-month onboarding window. Full pricing is shared after a portfolio review.
Can I still use my Tulum home myself?+
Yes. Personal dates are blocked in seconds from the owner portal, and we steer guest demand around them. A month to two months of personal use per year generally costs nothing measurable in revenue.
