Moon Palace Cancun
About the Resort
Moon Palace Cancun is one of the largest and most impressive all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. Its expansive grounds include multiple ceremony venues, grand ballrooms, a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, and the Awe Spa. The wedding program features a tiered package system based on room block commitments, with each tier offering increasingly generous multi-day event hours — ideal for South Asian weddings and multi-day celebrations. The resort's scale means couples never feel constrained, with endless options for every event.
Wedding Planning Notes
Moon Palace Cancun is one of the few Mexico all-inclusives offering genuine complimentary wedding packages once a room block crosses the Palace Resorts thresholds — the structure starts around 75 room nights, and the included semi-private event hours scale up from there. Palace Premier Resort Credits stack on top per room. The property is enormous — roughly 1,300 rooms across expansive grounds — which works in couples' favor: large wedding parties don't take over the resort. CUN airport is just 12 minutes away. The wedding desk has handled multi-day South Asian weddings (Mehndi, Sangeet, ceremony, reception) for years and understands the structure.
