Reliable and integrated system for emergent business

(A Case Study of Playa Koralia, North Columbia)

A Quick Look: The hotel was using a manual system and could not manage their operations with the rising business demands. Reservations could not be tracked or monitored and the management wanted a better control over their property. When they came across Hotelogix, they simply loved the PMS & Web Booking Engine as it offered them an integrated online reservation system, anytime anywhere access & extensive operations management.

About Playa Koralia

Luxury and nature defines Hotel Playa Koralia, situated in Santa Marta, North Columbia. An exotic boutique resort with 19 private bungalows on a secluded stretch of the Caribbean Riviera, Koralia enjoys immense popularity among Latin American celebrities such as pop star Shakira and model Natalia Paris.

"Hotelogix has proven to be a deep and powerful solution. It has allowed us to make the leap from hand-written ledgers and reservation books directly to the forefront of Cloud driven PMS technology,” says Ethan, the hotel owner.

The hotel, with its minimalist charm and luxurious facilities such as spa, open-air bar, and a host of adventurous activities such as nature walking, hiking, and trekking, started using Hotelogix from 2010.

Management wanted a better control of the system

The manual system used at Playa Koralia could not handle their rising business demands. Reservations could not be tracked or monitored, and with the growing guest list, management wanted better control over their Property, their payments, and other operational transactions. With no reporting system in place, it was even harder to regularly analyze business performance. This was a challenging situation and they began to look out for a reliable, integrated system to fulfill their growing demands. One crucial requirement was to be able to manage all operations efficiently, even while travelling.

Ethan added, “I have been searching for an appropriate hotel management solution for several months when I came across Hotelogix. With its web-based platform, we are able to access our business from anywhere and at anytime.”
