Managing an independent hotel or a boutique vacation rental is a constant challenge. If you chose Cloudbeds as your Property Management System (PMS), you've already taken a massive step forward, it is one of the most powerful tools on the market for centralising reservations, calendars, and operations.
However, many hoteliers only scratch the surface. They use the PMS as a glorified digital reservation ledger, leaving thousands of dollars in potential revenue, brand visibility, and automation untapped.
Do you feel like your property could be performing better? Are you frustrated by paying hefty commissions to traditional OTAs (like Booking or Expedia) while your direct booking engine barely gets any traffic?
The solution isn't to switch software; it's to supercharge what you already have. And the first step is connecting your ecosystem with CAOBA.
1. Maximise Your Resources with the Caoba Hotels Direct Booking Marketplace
One of the greatest advantages of Cloudbeds is its robust integration ecosystem. Instead of fighting a lonely battle to drive direct bookings to a standalone website without traffic, you can join a network specifically designed to attract high-value travellers.
Caoba Hotels acts as a specialised Booking Engine and marketplace that drives direct bookings without the burden of predatory intermediaries.
What benefits do you get by connecting?
1. Direct marketplace connection to 5M+ high-intent travellers: Tap into a global audience looking for authentic, unique stays.
2. Lower commission vs. traditional high-fee OTAs: A much more profitable alternative to standard booking platforms.
3. Exclusive visibility for unique stays: If your property stands out for its architecture, interior design, or curated concept, CAOBA is your perfect stage.
4. Automated split payments: Receive your revenue directly into your bank account with zero administrative hassle.
2. Step-by-Step: How to Connect Caoba Hotels in Less Than 2 Minutes
The integration process is incredibly simple thanks to Cloudbeds' native architecture. You don't need any coding skills or complex technical configurations. Just follow these easy steps using your dashboard:
Step A: Search for the App in the Marketplace
First, log into your Cloudbeds PMS. Navigate to the top menu, click on Marketplace, and select the Apps (Aplicaciones) tab. In the search bar or under the booking optimisation tools, look for the Caoba Hotels card (categorised under Application Type: Booking Engine).
(Here is how it looks inside your main Cloudbeds App Marketplace panel):
Step B: Connect and Log In
Click on "More Info" (Más Información) to open the app's detailed profile. Here, you will see the full service overview, CAOBA's core value pillars, and the button to "Log In" (Iniciar Sesión) or connect the app.
And that's it! The setup takes less than 2 minutes. Once the connection is authorised, the CAOBA team takes full control from there. We handle everything from property onboarding to strategic pricing optimisation. All you have to do is focus on welcoming your new guests.
3. Elevate Your PMS with Expert Cloudbeds Consultancy
Connecting to the Marketplace is just the beginning. Cloudbeds is packed with advanced features—like Revenue Management analytics, automated guest messaging, smart-lock integrations, and advanced payment gateways—that most hotels leave unused due to lack of time or technical expertise.
If you want to unlock every hidden feature, optimise your rates by season, and fully automate your front-desk workflow, you need expert eyes.
