Partner Stories
What our partners are saying
"I've been a travel advisor for 12 years and Obsidian's partner program is the best I've worked with. The commissions are generous, the properties are incredible, and my clients always come back thanking me for the recommendation."
"We plan corporate retreats for Fortune 500 companies. Obsidian's villas are perfect for executive offsites. The concierge service handles everything — we just refer and collect. It's added a significant revenue stream for our agency."
"I'm a wedding planner and Obsidian has become my go-to for destination wedding accommodations. The villas are stunning, the service is impeccable, and the commission structure makes it worth my while to always recommend them."
Our first time in Sint Maarten and we had no idea what to do beyond the villa. The team gave us recommendations that felt genuinely local — not the tourist list. The charter they arranged was the best day of the trip.
Owner FAQ
Questions from property owners
Everything you need to know about partnering with Obsidian.
Is there a cost to join the partner program?
Absolutely not. Joining the Obsidian referral partner program is 100% free. There are no membership fees, no hidden costs, and no minimum referral requirements. We earn when you earn — that’s the entire model.
How quickly will I hear back after applying?
We review every application within 48 hours. Once approved, you’ll receive your partner welcome kit within 24 hours, including your unique referral code, marketing materials, and partner portal access.
When and how do I get paid?
Commissions are paid within 24 hours of your referred guest’s check-in. Payments can be made via bank transfer, PayPal, or wire transfer — whichever works best for you. You’ll receive a detailed commission statement with every payment.
What happens if a referred client cancels?
Commissions are only paid when the guest actually checks in. If a booking is cancelled before check-in, no commission is due. If a guest checks in and then leaves early, your commission is still paid in full based on the original booking value.
Can I refer clients for any Obsidian property?
Yes. As a partner, you can refer clients to any property in the Obsidian portfolio — currently three villas in Sint Maarten, with St. Barths and Dominican Republic properties coming soon. You’ll have access to real-time availability for all properties.
Do I need to handle any part of the booking process?
No. Once you refer a client, Obsidian handles everything — the booking, payment processing, concierge arrangements, guest communication, and on-property management. Your job is simply to make the introduction. We take care of the rest.
