In a typical year, the average Puerto Cortés listing brings in L 39,200 in July, its best month, and L 21,800 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, L 31,300. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
August 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, July is usually the strongest month.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Puerto Cortés listing earns about L 23,700 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb estimator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Puerto Cortés Airbnb took in L 253,081 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about L 15,100 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about L 28,300 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the L 7,300 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about L 15,700 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about L 13,100 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.
