For Caribbean hotels, guesthouses and villas with 6 to 10 units

Take more bookings direct. Keep more of every stay.

A booking website you own, built for how Caribbean guests pay and synced with Airbnb and Booking.com, so more guests book with you directly.

Hospitality websites since 2010

Hotels, guesthouses, villas and resorts across the region.

Caribbean-ready checkout

Card through your bank, PayPal or bank transfer.

Yours to own

Your domain, your hosting, your login. No agency 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 give up on your website

A slow, confusing or outdated site sends interested travellers straight back to the listing.

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.

Property owner reviewing bookings on a laptop

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.

Built for phones first

Most guests find you on a phone. Every page is designed to book there.

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 your bank’s gateway, PayPal, or bank transfer with the details sent automatically. No commission on any booking.

Your brand, not a template

A website that looks and feels like your property, not like everyone else’s.

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 confirmed booking.

This is what your guests will experience on your website, shown on our live demo.

Phone showing the homepage of a direct booking website

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.

Phone showing a room page with photos and nightly rate

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.

Phone showing available stays and prices for chosen dates

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.

Phone showing the checkout price breakdown with refundable deposit

They pay you

By card where your bank provides a gateway, PayPal, or bank transfer. Nothing is routed through a platform.

A clear price breakdown, including any refundable deposit, before they commit.

Phone showing a booking confirmed page with booking and payment details

They are booked

An instant confirmation for your guest, and a commission-free booking for you.

Booking and payment details on one screen, with an invoice they can download.

Try it on a real booking website.

Open a live site and go through it the way a guest would.

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

We build, test and launch, then train you to run it with confidence.

Choose how you want to own it.

Every build runs on a proper hotel booking engine: property pages, a live calendar, direct booking and Airbnb sync, with a checkout set up for how Caribbean guests pay.

  • Full booking engine: calendar, direct booking, Airbnb sync
  • Professional template site, styled to your brand
  • Card, PayPal or bank-transfer checkout, set up and tested for your bank
  • Performance and caching pre-tuned
  • One round of training on managing bookings and rates
  • Hosting and domain in your own name, on an account you control

No ongoing fee

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.

Frequently asked questions

Most properties launch within a few weeks of sending us photographs and property information. Managed Partnership projects tend to move fastest, since the booking software licence is already included; Build & Handover and Full Independence add a short activation step for your own booking software licence. We will confirm a specific timeline once we understand your property’s scope.

Yes, by card if your bank offers an online gateway (such as Fygaro or WiPay), or PayPal. Many properties start on bank transfer while the merchant account is approved, and add card payments afterwards. No commission is taken from any booking.

Yes. Your domain and hosting are always in your own name and your own account, on every path. With Build & Handover and Full Independence, the website is yours outright from day one, with no ongoing fee. With Managed Partnership, we provide a fully licensed booking system and look after updates and support for your 12-month term, and you can move to full independence afterwards.

It depends on the path you choose. Build & Handover and Full Independence are one-off payments with no ongoing fee from us. Managed Partnership runs on a 12-month term with a flat monthly rate covering the fully licensed booking system, updates and support. The first three months are paid upfront, before the build starts. Hosting is paid directly by you to your hosting provider, on every path. There are no hidden charges beyond what is agreed upfront.

Yes. Your calendar syncs both ways with Airbnb, Booking.com and any platform that supports iCal, checking roughly every fifteen minutes, so your availability stays in step without you updating three calendars by hand. It is not a full channel manager, which pushes rates and availability instantly across every platform at once. If your property genuinely needs that, we will tell you rather than sell you something that does not fit.

Every package includes initial post-launch support. Managed Partnership includes ongoing support, software updates and rate changes for the full term. Full Independence includes a full year of support while you get settled on your own licence.

Clear photographs of your rooms and property, along with room details, amenities, rates, policies and booking requirements. We guide you through exactly what is needed, so nothing is left to guesswork.

Every website runs on a dedicated hotel booking engine built into your site, which we will show you in your demo. It replaces spreadsheets and manual tracking, and it does not connect to third-party property management systems. It does sync with Airbnb and Booking.com through iCal, so your calendar stays accurate across them.

Yes. If you already have a website, we review what is there and rebuild it as a ready-to-launch booking website, carrying over the content that is still relevant to your property.

Yes. Every launch includes training so you can manage essential content yourself, such as rates, photos and property details. For anything beyond that, ongoing support is available.

Stop renting your guests back.

Every season without your own booking website is another season of commission paid and guest relationships handed away. Book a free demo and see what yours could look like.
