Puerto Vallarta's vacation rental market is competitive. To maximize your income and occupancy, you need a clear strategy: pricing, presentation, and distribution. Here’s a practical guide to getting more bookings and better returns.
Pricing Strategy
Set your nightly rate based on season, demand, and comparable listings—not guesswork. Use dynamic pricing tools or work with a local expert who knows the micro-markets. Avoid long stretches of empty nights by adjusting for holidays, events, and low season.
Professional Presentation
High-quality photos and a clear description make a huge difference. Highlight what sets your property apart: views, pool, location, or amenities. Consider professional photography and a short video or virtual tour to stand out in search results.
Listing Everywhere That Matters
Don’t rely on a single platform. List on Airbnb, Vrbo, and other booking channels, and consider a property manager or channel manager to sync calendars and avoid double bookings. The goal is visibility where your guests are already searching.
Reviews and Repeat Guests
Excellent communication and a spotless stay lead to five-star reviews, which in turn drive more bookings. Respond quickly to inquiries, provide clear check-in instructions, and leave a small welcome gesture. Repeat guests and word of mouth are among the best sources of occupancy.
Next Steps
Whether you already own a rental or are considering buying one, having a plan is essential. An AMPI-certified agent with experience in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit can help you choose the right property and connect you with property management and marketing resources so your investment performs at its best.
