“In today’s market every accommodation business needs their own website and a PMS (property management system). Freetobook provides many opportunities to get direct bookings and automated tools to make your life easier. It was our answer with TripAdvisor via Tripconnect, a two-way Airbnb channel connection, smart messaging with direct bookings, and a free way to get exposure on Google. Freetobook is the only PMS to do all this reasonably without breaking the bank. Thank you freetobook on our 10-year relationship.” Greg and Silvia Lupone, Stingray Villa, Mexico.

Here Greg sheds light on growing his business with freetobook over the last decade, hosting guests from over 35 countries. Greg and Silvia had been regular visitors to Cozumel in Mexico without any real plans to make it their permanent home.

“Up to 2012 we were living in St Louis, Massachusetts with no thought to being in the accommodation side of the hospitality industry. My first career had been with the US Navy for five years and then I’d been persuaded to run a chain of restaurants with a friend before I took the plunge to run my own restaurant for 17 years.

My wife and I had taken many vacations to the area of Cozumel over a number of years and at the end of each holiday we just didn’t want to return home. Then one day we found the perfect property with two guest houses at the back and so our adventure began.”
