At Caoba Hotels, our mission has always been clear: to empower independent hoteliers with cutting-edge tools while offering travellers an authentic, friction-free booking journey. This October marks a major milestone for our platform as we roll out a comprehensive suite of digital improvements and brand updates designed to redefine modern hospitality.
Here is a closer look at everything we’ve unveiled this month.
Part 1 | Website Upgrades: Frictionless Booking & Next-Gen Payments
Instant Reservations with Quick Action Buttons
Time and simplicity matter. Guests can now book their stay directly from any accommodation’s landing page using our new Quick Action Buttons—bypassing the need to navigate through detailed property subpages. Beyond speed, this feature serves as the technical stepping stone for our upcoming points-based affiliate program, rewarding repeat guests and brand ambassadors.
The Launch of Caoba Experiences
Hospitality goes far beyond a comfortable bed; it’s about unforgettable moments. We are thrilled to initiate our first real-world trial of Caoba Experiences in a magical, singular destination that embodies the spirit and aesthetic of the Caoba brand. Stay tuned as we prepare to reveal full details very soon.
Expanded Payment Flexibility: Stripe & Caoba Connect
Seamless monetary transactions build guest trust and increase conversion rates. All accommodations integrated into Caoba now enjoy full payment processing support—either using their own native payment gateway via their booking engine or utilizing Caoba Connect (powered by Stripe) for secure Virtual Credit Card (VCC) handling.
Part 2 | Brand Evolution: Empowering Hoteliers & Rewarding Guests
Introducing The Caoba Club
We are launching The Caoba Club, an exclusive private membership created for discerning travellers. Members enjoy guaranteed room rates lower than any public direct rate, along with exclusive perks, seasonal rewards, and special brand privileges. Managed via a monthly subscription, new club members will also receive an official Caoba Club Credit Card and a curated Welcome Brand Pack.
Over 150 Cloudbeds Native Connections
Direct distribution is the backbone of sustainable hotel operations. We have officially reached nearly 150 properties natively connected to Cloudbeds’ booking engine through Caoba. By eliminating unnecessary online travel agencies and third-party intermediaries, we ensure direct communication and full control remain where they belong—with the hoteliers.
Updated Consulting Plans & Tailored Setup
To better support growing hotel businesses, we have refreshed our advisory services. Caoba Consulting now offers flexible hourly packages, restructured pricing models, and specialised configuration services to help properties optimize their tech stack and revenue management strategy.
