Editorial Reviews

Review

Lowell Thomas Award, “Best Travel Guidebook of the Year”
In bestowing its Gold award, the Society of American Travel Writers said the Caribbean book was “… astoundingly organized. (It) will answer virtually any question about the Caribbean that a traveler might ask. The contents as well as the sections called What's Where, Island Finder, If You Like and If You Want help readers get oriented. The island sections are consistently organized so that they can be scanned for information or enjoyably read. A lot of great information is packed into this book.”

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive guide for Caribbean Travel, October 25, 2005
This review is from: Fodor's Caribbean 2006 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
There are many guides available but none is as up to date or as accurate as Fodor's. For anyone planning a yacht trip or just perusing islands to find the perfect destination this is the only reference guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good But IMHO Not THEE Best, July 12, 2006
By 
Notnadia (Currently upstairs.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fodor's Caribbean 2006 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
Fodor's listed the usual sites/sights and some that were unique to this book. It's good, it's comprehensive and thorough with I'm sure few to no errors, but personally I found I liked Frommer's guide just a little better. But there's nothing lacking in Fodor's, only a personal preference.
