Cloudbeds bundles a PMS with a channel manager — heavy and pricey for a 6-bungalow dive resort.
Cloudbeds is feature-rich but priced for mid-size hotels and hostels. The channel manager is useful if you sell on Booking.com / Expedia / Agoda — but you still have zero tooling for dives, instructors, tanks or certifications. ReefDesk gives you what dive resorts actually need, at a fraction of the cost.
