    Moon Palace Cancún

    Cancún–Chetumal Km 340, Riviera Maya, 77500 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico · Hospitality (All-Inclusive Resort) · Generated 5/4/2026
    Conclusion

    Moon Palace is a revenue-recoverability story, and lenders, insurers, and buyers will price that distinction.

    Moon Palace Cancún is a flagship all-inclusive resort platform: 2,404 rooms, ~140,000 sq. ft. of event space, major leisure and group demand, and a globally recognizable destination. The asset’s strength is obvious. Mendria’s finding is that the same features that create enormous value, including scale, beachfront positioning, group/event dependence, and all-inclusive operating complexity, also create a hidden capital-markets question: Can the owner prove that revenue survives and recovers quickly through hurricane, insurance, business-interruption, beach/sargassum, and access-disruption stress?

    If that proof is not lender-, insurer-, and buyer-ready, the resort can be repriced before occupancy or RevPAR visibly weaken: lenders require reserves or reduce proceeds; insurers tighten named-storm and BI terms; buyers widen discounts for downtime and recovery uncertainty; group customers demand stronger cancellation and rebooking protections. Mendria estimates $50M–$120M of exit value at stake and $25M–$60M of refinance friction unless revenue continuity is documented and defended.

    Key Decision Metrics
    $50M–$120M
    Exit value at stake if storm, BI, group-revenue, and beach-operability concerns remain unresolved
    $25M–$60M
    Refinance proceeds / reserve pressure from insurance terms, reopening uncertainty, and revenue-continuity gaps
    4–6% → 8–12%
    Buyer haircut path today versus unresolved storm / BI / beach-condition underwriting
    60–70% → 80–90%
    Refinance probability with a lender-ready revenue defensibility plan
    Mendria Recommendation

    Do not treat this as a generic coastal resort risk file. Treat it as a revenue continuity underwriting case.

    The highest-value move is to build a Revenue Defensibility Package that proves the resort can protect cash flow, recover fast, and remain financeable under stress.

    Priority actions:

    1. Prove the insurance actually protects the revenue model
      • named-storm deductible
      • BI waiting periods, sublimits, and exclusions
      • whether BI covers rooms, F&B, meetings, weddings, and group blocks
      • 5–10 year loss runs and carrier posture
    2. Convert “we have a storm plan” into a lender-ready recovery model
      • 7 / 14 / 30-day reopening timeline
      • power, water, cooling, kitchen, laundry, staffing, and supplier continuity
      • guest relocation and rebooking protocol
      • airport / access-disruption contingency
    3. Defend the resort’s highest-value revenue streams
      • group/event booking pace
      • cancellation and room-block attrition sensitivity
      • event-space downtime assumptions
      • rebooking protocol after named-storm disruption
    4. Make beach operability an underwriting variable, not an ops footnote
      • sargassum cleanup spend and seasonality
      • beach barriers / removal logistics
      • guest satisfaction and ADR sensitivity
      • alternative programming when beach usability deteriorates
    5. Rank resilience capex by refinance and exit impact
      • roof / openings / envelope
      • backup power and water systems
      • drainage and critical MEP
      • beachfront operations
      • which upgrades reduce downtime, insurance friction, and buyer discounting
