5.0 out of 5 stars exceptional guide, November 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Fodor's Caribbean 2002: The Guide for All Budgets, Updated Every Year, with Color Photos and Many Maps (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

i'm writing this review specifically to contradict the previous review. this is a VERY well detailed regional guide, with a devoted chapter for every caribbean state and numerous recommendations in every price category. i actually used this during a caribbean trip this past summer and found its information quite helpful.

if you are looking for information on cozumel or playa del carmen, or other caribbean-facing beach towns in mexico, buy a travel guide for mexico. the complaint from the other review is the equivalent of buying a travel guide to texas and then complaining that ciudad juarez was left out.

WARNING: If you are planning a trip to Cosumel or Playa Del Carmen-in the Caribbean, you will NOT find any information about these places in this book. Someone should sue Fodor's for calling the book: "Fodor's Caribbean", since it does not encompass the entire Caribbean! I am very disappointed and plan to return the book.
