Exciting News for Travelers! 🌍 Did you know that your hotel price drops after you have reserved the room? That's right, 44% of reservations are overpaid. We noticed the problem and created Rebookify, a free platform that tracks the prices for existing reservations! 👕 Imagine this: You buy a sweater for $100 and feel great. But two days later, it's on sale for $68! That initial joy turns to frustration. It's like hotel booking: people don't check daily for price drops, but we do it for them. Rebooking a hotel, unlike returning a sweater, is easy, taking 2–3 minutes. Travelers get extra money for free once we find a better rate. 👉 How it works? 1. Forward your booking reservation email to save@rebookify.com 2. We find you a better deal—absolutely for FREE! 3. You get notified with a link to the cheaper room. Have you ever found your room for a lower price after reserving? Share your experiences! 🏞 #Rebookify #travelsmart #hotel #hotelreservation #travelhacks

Today’s hotel guests don’t just click ‘book now’. Guests think, research, and compare all their available options before booking. Imagine a guest planning their perfect summer vacation. How about sending a tailored, bookable proposal instead? When they’re ready, they seal the deal with a click. Compared to instant bookings with silence until arrival, this process is true to how customers want to buy, ensuring transparency in price changes — even locking prices for set durations. It’s about dialogue and interaction. It's about shifting focus from upselling to enhancing the guest experience — because a memorable guest experience thrives on familiarity, timely information, and reassurance. Let’s end the mundane transactional approach to bookings. Give guests the freedom to convert their proposal into a booking in one click. The small touches, communication nuances, and respect for your guest’s time and decisions set hoteliers apart. Let's boost direct bookings. #hospitality #hospitalityindustry #hotels

The hospitality industry has always been and remains highly competitive. In the past, guests had limited options for reserving their vacations. Today, their choices are virtually endless, primarily through digital channels, whether directly or via third-party platforms. Differentiation is more crucial now than ever before. At Cuvée, our consistent advantage over the years has been our investment in on-site destination curators. These curators assist our guests from the moment they make a reservation, throughout their stay, and even after they leave. They have in-depth knowledge of our destinations, not from searching "the best restaurants [insert destination]" online, but because they live there and know the area intimately. Our guests say it best: "Cuvée is the gold standard--not only for offering the most beautiful and breathtaking properties, but in its impeccable service. Cuvée and its inimitable staff turned every day into a unique experience and provided memories that will last a lifetime. We can't wait to return." #hospitality #marketing #luxurytravel #luxuryvacations #travel #guestsatisfaction #curators #reservations #airbnb #vrbo #industryleader #aspen #colorado
