Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Way on the eastern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula lie two beautiful towns with the sea, sand, and sun you crave, the archeological sites and scuba diving about which to write your postcards, and the hotels and restaurants that welcome you with professional hospitality. Equally professional is this guide book prepared by Caroline Vien and Alain Théroux. Cancún Cozumel is an elegant little book, easy to slip in a pocket or purse, and easy to use. Though small, it's got all the information you could want on hotels (for all budgets), restaurants and bars, the best places to snorkel, scuba, fish, and swim with dolphins, plus beaches and Mayan temples. There's practical information on banks, transportation, speaking Spanish, health, holidays, and where to shop. Cancún and Cozumel are where you go to forget your cares, and Cancún Cozumel enhances the pleasure. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
