2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough info on dining and lodging outside Cancun, February 23, 1999

This review is from: Cancun, Cozumel, Yucatan Peninsula '99: The Complete Guide with Beaches, Water Sports, Markets, and Maya Ruins (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

I haven't been to the Yucatan in over 6 years, and purchased this book hoping it would have updated info on the area, as I was planning vacation there soon.

I couldn't find enough listings for lodgings and restarants to satisfy me, and wound up going to the web to get the info I needed. There are so many more hotels and condos south of Cancun, and even south of Tulum that just weren't listed. None of the restaurants we ate at were even listed. I couldn't use this guide for my purposes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good book. Lots of Info and Phone # which is needed!, May 4, 1999
