Cancún
Quintana Roo, Mexico · 21°N · 87°W
Highest liquidity · strongest rental yield in the cluster
Cancún's investment case
Cancún is the liquid market in the Mexican Caribbean cluster — the one where you can buy and exit with the most certainty. Latin America second-busiest international airport (20+ million passengers annually) drives a rental demand base that is not dependent on any single market trend or nationality. If you are optimizing for yield and exit liquidity, Cancún outperforms both Tulum and Playa del Carmen on both metrics.
Puerto Cancún: the premium play
The Hotel Zone gets the tourist attention, but Puerto Cancún — the marina district behind the lagoon — is where Mexico's most sophisticated residential product is concentrated. Branded residences (Marriott, Thompson, W-affiliated projects), marina-front towers, and a private beach club membership model attract a buyer who is not looking for a hotel room in a condo but a genuine primary or secondary residence. Units in Puerto Cancún have held value through multiple market cycles.
The rental math
A USD $300K unit in the Hotel Zone — properly managed on Airbnb plus direct bookings — can achieve ADR of $250–$450 depending on the season and unit quality. Occupancy in a well-positioned property runs 65–80%. Gross yields of 7–10% are achievable; net of management, maintenance, HOA, and property tax, the realistic net is 5–7%. That is competitive with US rental real estate at substantially lower entry cost.
Who buys in Cancún
The serious Cancún buyer is either an investor who wants yield and liquidity — optimizing on numbers, not lifestyle — or a North American or European who wants a guaranteed-warm winter residence with access to international flights. Kev's Cancún network is oriented toward the investor profile: off-market deals, pre-construction access from credible developers, and rental management introductions.
