  • Casa Napa, Riviera Maya

    Remarkable property that exceeds expectations in almost every way… start with location… the deck is literally a stones throw from the water…. Impeccably designed and maintained landscape, including plenty of coconuts… we asked Emilio to cut a couple down...

  • We’ve been using Sheldon James for all of our villa rentals and this was yet another perfect experience! The team really knows what they’re doing and always find the perfect villa for our events.

    Norm L, June 2023

Beaches, watersports, shopping, golf, culture, and cuisine – it’s all here waiting for you in the Riviera Maya. We recommend the awe-inspiring ruins of Tulum, Coba, or Chichen Itza as insights into the ancient Mayan culture. Cool off after your tour in a cenote – a freshwater cave pool unique to this area.
