Book Description

The island of Cozumel draws thousands of visitors every day. Known for its world-famous dive sites and beautiful white beaches, it’s located on the second largest barrier reef system in the world.

• Getting around—from bus to bike and everything in between

Have been traveling to Cozumel near 20 years, yet still learned of new places. Great information, and the author plans to update
in the future. I have never seen a Cozumel Travel Guide dedicated to ONLY Cozumel..It is worth every penny.

Great reference for the island of Cozumel with a lot of detailed hints (reads like someone's diary). And as far as we've found, the author is right: Cozumel is usually a small blip in books dedicated almost solely to Cancun (or the entire Yucatan Peninsula). If you're spending more than one day on the island, definitely worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still Worth Getting Great Book, February 27, 2006

This review is from: Cozumel: The Complete Guide (Paperback)

I tend to disagree with the most recent review of this book. I have been a LONG TIME part time resident of the Island, since 1987. I purchased this book for use by my guests, and have actually used it myself. I agree there are a few editorial errors, and some just barely out of date information, but 95%% of this book is valuable information, with out of the way dining options, that would seldom be found on the internet, and small shops who also do not find their way to the internet or printed guidebooks. Guidebooks are a difficult thing to keep current to the minute, as by the time it prints there are already changes. Used in conjuction with the Cozumel Can Do map, this is a terriffic resource.
