CIESTRA: A JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF YOUR HOTEL & RESORT BRAND
Responsive design, the all-around property booking system packaged for free, tailored for needs of modern travelers. Brought to you by MotoPress – the lodging business WordPress experts.
For Hotels, Resorts and Villas
Featuring vibrant and elegant design, Ciestra is just perfect for beachfront hotels and resort accommodations. Add all your listings with amenities, bed types, sleeping arrangements, pricing and more categorized details. Rent out unlimited properties with no commission.
Accommodation Booking System
Ciestra resort theme is powered by our custom plugin – the popular WordPress reservation system. It’s a built-in powerhouse for all your bookings, properties directory, seasonal prices, rates and the whole array of tools for lodging business. The premium room & property booking plugin is included for free!
Beautiful Galleries & Slideshows
Keep your website up-to-date with what guests want: provide helpful info about nearby bars and attractions, services, landscapes, events and more.
The theme is equipped with unique, easily editable Elementor content modules for creating a perfect pre-vacation experience for your guests.
Sync Bookings to OTAs like Airbnb, Booking, Google Calendar etc.
Don’t miss on other popular listing websites! Rent out the properties elsewhere and sync bookings to your independent website built with Ciestra. No need for paid for channel managers, no commissions.
The reservation system is able to automatically sync your hotel bookings to external OTAs via iCal (make sure the medium platform supports iCal).
Prepayment or Pay at the Property
You are free to enable guests to pay online safely a full or deposit price (fixed / percentage) or charge them after arrival.
There are several out-of-the-box payment gateways you can enable: PayPal, 2Checkout, Stripe, Braintree and Beanstream/Bambora. A user-friendly Pro add-on is available for more gateways.
Weekly and Monthly Rates
Need to set up a complex & dynamic pricing system? Set custom rates for peak seasons. Discount your hotel rooms or other resort accommodations automatically for a longer stay with weekly, monthly or other customizable rates. Designate price variables based on the room’s capacity. Any rate and pricing is easily tunable.
Simple & Advanced Booking Rules
For each property and season you can set up min / max days to stay, available check-in and check-out dates, block chosen units for a certain period of time and more.
Availability calendars of all properties will display available and unavailable days in real time according to your rules.
An easy way to entice guests to buy more extras along with the property bookings: offer extra packages and services and eventually find a bigger sum in every check!
Set the price per accommodation / guest; once or per night. You can also offer free services that must be booked in advance.
Created with Elementor Builder
One of the main strengths of this Booking website template is 100% user-friendly customization: tune in every piece of Ciestra with Elementor visual page builder and other WordPress tools.
Intuitive drag-and-drop content manipulation, inline editing and more things non-tech users love.
Instagram Gallery
Lots of marketing studies show that people explicitly use Instagram to choose travel destinations or plan vacations.
With Ciestra, you can focus on image storytelling with a lightweight and beautiful Instagram gallery that automatically displays a feed of your latest Instagram uploads.
Import Sample Data in One Click
Unlike many other WordPress themes for hotels, Ciestra is absolutely easy on installation & getting started thanks to dummy data that you can import in one click.
The data importer is packed with the theme allowing you to replace sample info with your custom content with no hassle.
Our premium MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin, one of the most recognizable WordPress plugin for rentals, is included into the theme for free (save $49). It will help you use the all-around property management system and the booking system in one place.
You’ll find it easy to designate different booking rules, add pricing rates depending on the number of people and the length of stay, accept instant online payments, keep track on all bookings and guests and more.
If you list your properties elsewhere, the built-in channel manager will help you connect your independent website to medium travel platforms, without any upfront or further commission. Thanks to iCal support, you can import reservations from your Airbnb, HomeAway or similar calendars and export them back to the OTAs that support iCal. The system will establish two-way auto sync to help you avoid overbooking.
Tune in the theme appearance with Elementor builder, edit the site via the WordPress Customizer, import sample data in once click – Ciestra Resort theme sets you up with user-friendly customization kits.
