# The best PMS for resorts and beach hotels.

Resorts sell packages through tour operators and direct, often all-inclusive or half board, across rooms and villas with strong seasons. Here is what to look for, and how Tivuzo does it as part of one back office.

**What is the best PMS for resorts and beach hotels?**
The best property management system (PMS) for resorts and beach hotels covers reservations, rates and seasons, the room planner, check-in and check-out, guest folios, housekeeping and the night audit, and handles what is specific to resorts and beach hotels: rooms, suites and villas as types; all-inclusive, half board and b&b plans; tour-operator net rates on the booking; seasons by month and festive weeks. It should share one database with the rest of the back office so nothing is typed twice. Tivuzo includes it with the PMS, POS, procurement, stores and accounting for $13 per user per month.

## What resorts and beach hotels need

Resorts sell packages through tour operators and direct, often all-inclusive or half board, across rooms and villas with strong seasons.

- Rooms, suites and villas as types
- All-inclusive, half board and B&B plans
- Tour-operator net rates on the booking
- Seasons by month and festive weeks

## The full checklist

Beyond the specifics above, any property management system (PMS) for a resort should have:

| Must have | In Tivuzo |
|---|---|
| Room types, rate plans with seasons and meal plans | ✓ |
| A drag-and-drop planner that refuses double bookings | ✓ |
| Single and group bookings with source, agent and reference | ✓ |
| Check-in with guest ID, room moves and check-out | ✓ |
| Folios with deposits, extras and split billing | ✓ |
| Housekeeping status shared with reception | ✓ |
| A night audit with occupancy, ADR and RevPAR | ✓ |
| Shares data with the rest of the back office | ✓ One database: PMS, POS, procurement, stores, accounting |

## Why it should be part of one system

When the PMS is joined to the accounts and stores, every night posted at the audit is already revenue, every bar bill charged to a room is already on the folio, and check-out produces an invoice that the payment matches.

## What it costs a resort

At a typical resort the people who log in are the front office, reservations, housekeeping, several F&B outlets, stores, purchasing and finance: 15 users, $195 a month or $1,872 a year, with every module included. See [pricing](https://www.tivuzo.com/pricing/).

## PMS for resorts and beach hotels: questions

### Can a resort PMS handle all-inclusive?

Yes. Use a meal plan for the inclusive part and ring included drinks at zero, with premium items charged as extras.

### Is the PMS included in Tivuzo's price?

Yes. Every module is included for $13 per user per month; there are no add-ons and no fees per room.

### Does Tivuzo work for small resorts and beach hotels?

Yes. A resort pays only for the people who log in; switch on modules as you need them.

### Does Tivuzo work with weak internet?

The restaurant and bar tills sell offline and sync later; the rest needs a connection, and light use works on mobile data.

### What does Tivuzo not do yet?

No live channel manager, booking engine, door-lock integration, payroll or country e-invoicing links.
