Even after several trips to the area we still rely on our Can Do map. This is the best resource for the area from Cancun to Tulum that we have seen. It lists just about every hotel, condo, villa, restaurant, market, shop, bank and service available. Laura and Perry also give lots of good advise on places to visit and they include information about the various attractions such as hours of operation, admission prices, etc. Don't leave home without it!

I ordered the Riviera Maya guide/map for our first trip in July. It answered all our questions we had as to where certain destanations were from where we are staying and so forth. It showed how far south of Cancun we will be staying. All kinds of restaurants to try and shops to visit. I was certainly interested in the ruins but always heard it was quite a trip from Cancun. We will be staying in Playa Del Carmen and that seemed a little more centrally located on the map.This will be the first thing I pack for the trip! Thanks to Laura and Perry for such a great map.

I have been to the Cancun~Tulum Corridor now refered to as Riviera Maya on 5 different occasions since 1995 and find this Travel Book Map to show me places that I have driven by for the last 4 years. I would say that the detail of Hotels, Restaurants, Condominiums, Bungalows, Cabanas, Grocery Stores, Tourist Playgrounds, Mayan Ruins and other facts are just not available in any other source. I would not leave for the Riviera Maya without it! I would recommend this Travel Book Map to anyone without hesitation. The cost of the Map will be returned to the user over and over again on just one trip to the Riviera Maya. Thanks to Laura and Perry McFarlin. Bill in Tulsa.

The Maya Riviera map by Laura McFarlin is a marvel of information design! It's clear and concise illustrations pin-point almost every building and attraction along this coast and is informed by the use of geo-positioning technology. And, unlike many other travel guide books, it is very compact and easily packs along with you in a pocket or your purse. It is also the most up-to-date source of information for the area available today! The author and her husband travel frequently through-out the year to the Maya Riviera to revise and update the superb guide.

This information packed guide, printed in the form of a fold-up map, is loaded with detailed information and suggestions that made our trip to the area a magical time. Incredible detail down to the smallest unpaved road accessing beautiful deserted beaches, restaurant and hotel information, car rental locations, parking,jungle tours... this has it all.

We purchased this map for our honeymoon trip to the Mayan Rivera. It was an excellent investment. It tells you the approximate price of various cab fares to different locations. It even provides you with a list of alternative transportation services. All activities of the area are listed and even most all resturants. The best part is they offer their own reviews of the resturants and give good adivce on where to go. I highly reccommend this map if you are planning a trip. Even if you set everything up through a travel agent, this has tons of listings for things you may not hear about and may enjoy doing.

If you are going to the Maya Riviera.....BUY THIS MAP! I agree with the comments made by everyone else here....this map is INVALUABLE! So much detail and a very conversational style that is enjoyable and easy to follow. Also, lots of photos which really make a difference in deciding where to go and what to do. You really could bring this map alone and it would be all you would need as a travel guide. HOWEVER, I would also highly recommend their book "Adventure Guide to the Yucatan" to bring along with the map. Extremely useful book! Read it before you go and you will have the best trip possible. Well worth the money!

I have purchased two of these. The last one was updated in 2000. They are very detailed, and extremely well done. I applaud Perry and Laura for their excellent job! You can't go wrong with these map guides.

We own one of each of the maps and every single one ever published for Isla Mujeres. They are a must if you have never been there and very helpful if you're returning. Very user friendly! Highly recomended!

We bought our first copy in 2005 when planning our honeymoon. I was so impressed that when we went back with a group in 2009 I bought a copy for each couple months before leaving! Everyone loved them. By the time we went, everyone had a good idea where they wanted to go and what they wanted to do. It's also a wonderful tool to have handy when traveling down there. From gas station locations to restaurant reviews. Just buy it, you'll be glad you did!
