For Caribbean hotels, guesthouses and villas with 6 to 10 units
Take more bookings direct. Keep more of every stay.
Own your booking website and your guest list. Synced with Airbnb and Booking.com and set up for how Caribbean guests pay, so returning guests book with you, commission-free.
Hospitality websites since 2010
Hotels, guesthouses, villas and resorts across the region.
Caribbean-ready checkout
WiPay, Fygaro, PayPal or bank transfer.
Yours to own
Your domain, your login, your guest list. No lock-in.
Trained and supported
Step-by-step training, then help after launch.
Every platform booking costs you twice.
Once in commission. Again in the guest you never get to know.
Commission on every stay
A share of every reservation goes to the platform, and the platform sits between you and your guests.
Guests who find you, then book elsewhere
When your website is slow, confusing or can’t take a booking, guests who came looking for you go back to Airbnb or Booking.com. At best you pay commission on a guest you found yourself. At worst they book the property next to yours on the same page.
A business that never feels fully yours
You built the property and earned the guest. Someone else keeps the relationship.
You did the hard work of building something guests love. You should not have to rent your own guests back.
Everything a guest needs to book you directly.
Beautiful photos are not enough. Your website has to answer guests’ questions, earn their trust and take the booking.
Your guest list is yours
Every direct booking adds a name, email and phone number to a list you own. Invite past guests back yourself, without paying a platform to find them again.
Live availability and booking
Guests see open dates and reserve in minutes. Your calendar syncs with Airbnb and Booking.com to help prevent double bookings.
Clear room pages
Rooms, amenities, rates and policies set out plainly, so guests know exactly what they are booking.
Paid directly to you
Card through WiPay or Fygaro, PayPal, or bank transfer with the details sent automatically. No commission on any booking.
Built for phones first
Most guests find you on a phone. Every page is designed to book there.
Trained, then supported
Learn to update rates, photos and details yourself, with help when you need it.
See the guest experience
Five steps from first look to a booking in hand.
This is what your guests will experience on your website, shown on our live demo.
They land on your property
A page built around your property, with real photos and real character from the first screen.
Your story and your best photos come first, so guests feel the place before they see a price.
They compare rooms
Every room, amenity, rate and policy laid out clearly, so they know exactly what they are booking.
Photos, bedrooms, bathrooms and the nightly rate sit on one page, readable on any phone.
They check dates
A live calendar shows what is open, synced with Airbnb and Booking.com, so nobody requests a date that is already taken.
Guests see only what is free for their dates, with the full price for their stay.
They pay you
By card through WiPay or Fygaro, PayPal, or bank transfer. Nothing is routed through a platform.
A clear price breakdown, including any refundable deposit, before they commit.
Their dates are held
Your guest sees their stay, the total and exactly what happens next. You get an alert, accept the request from your dashboard and send the deposit link. No commission, either way.
Prefer instant booking? Your website can take the booking and the deposit in one step instead.
Try it on a real booking website.
Open a live site and go through it the way a guest would.

We know how much rides on your website.
Running a property already takes everything you have. Your website should bring in bookings, not become another job.
Since 2010 we have built websites for hotels, guesthouses, villas and resorts across the Caribbean. We guide you through the content, design and launch, so you always know what happens next.

revenue in the first year
Le Chateau Tobago reported that its revenue tripled in the first year after launching its new booking website.
“Joshua was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable, professional, and did a fantastic job creating a new booking website that tripled our revenue in the first year. I highly recommend him.”
Erin Santana, Property Manager, Le Chateau Tobago
“Vivid Consultant is absolutely the best. This team has a very professional yet relatable approach to dealing with and understanding our needs. Since our involvement with this company, our booking revenue has increased substantially.”
Nola Adams, Owner, Bayleaf Suites
“It definitely was a pleasure working with you on this project. Glad we can finally go live and make our dreams a reality for our wonderful customers.”
Marcsons Hotels and Resorts, Facebook, April 2023
A clear path to launch
Your booking website in three steps.
1
Book a free demo
See the booking engine working and tell us about your property. Thirty minutes, no obligation.
2
Send your property details
Photos, rooms, rates and policies. We tell you exactly what we need.
3
Launch and take direct bookings
We build, test and launch, then train you to run it with confidence.
Why ownership pays
Own the guest once. Keep the commission every time they return.
1
Own the site
Your domain, your hosting, your booking engine. No platform can change your terms.
2
Own the guest list
Every direct booking gives you the guest’s name, email and phone number.
3
Invite them back
A personal email or WhatsApp to past guests costs almost nothing.
4
Keep the full value
Return stays book direct, with no commission to anyone.
Work out your own payback
Bookings a year × average booking value × your platform commission rate = what commission costs you now. Move a small share of those bookings to direct and the website pays for itself.
Example: 8 units at 55% occupancy, three-night stays at USD 150 a night, comes to about USD 36,000 a year in commission at 15%. If 1 booking in 15 comes back direct, you keep about USD 2,400, a full year of Managed Partnership. Illustrative figures, not a forecast.
The website makes return bookings possible. Inviting guests back makes them happen, and we set you up to do it from day one.
Choose how you want to own it.
Every path ends the same way: you own the website, its booking data and your guest list. Build & Handover and Full Independence hand it over from day one; Managed Partnership gets you there in 12 months.
No ongoing fee
Build & Handover
Built once, handed to you outright. You bring your own booking software licence.
From USD 1,997
one-off, 6 to 10 units
Recommended
Managed Partnership
We provide a fully licensed booking system and look after updates and support for as long as you stay. Your hosting stays in your own account.
From USD 197/mo
6 to 10 units, USD 2,364 over 12 months. First 3 months (USD 591) paid upfront.
Support included
Full Independence
Runs on your own booking software licence from day one, with a full year of support.
From USD 2,364
one-off, 6 to 10 units, first year of support included
Fewer than 6 units? Talk to us first. We will tell you plainly whether a direct-booking website will pay for itself, or whether Airbnb and Booking.com already cover your needs.
All prices in USD. The 16+ price is a starting point, not a ceiling; larger portfolios are quoted once scope is known. Hosting is always in your own account, paid directly by you. Build & Handover and Full Independence require your own booking software licence, bought directly from the provider. We will walk you through it after your demo.
