Editorial Reviews

Review

2006 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 Excellent guide, May 12, 2008

This review is from: Fodor's Caribbean 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
We were looking for a place to go on our honeymoon in the Caribbean, but could not decide on which island to choose. This guide provided a great table comparing all the islands based on hotels, restaurants, activities, etc. and then a detailed description of each island. Would definitely recomment as a great starting point in planning your Caribbean vacation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, crappy service!, August 8, 2008
This review is from: Fodor's Caribbean 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
The book is great - all sorts of detailed information, tips, and maps. A must have for the Caribbean traveler. It gives detailed info on the best places to shop, eat, sleep, and relax. It's going with us on our next cruise, and we've already picked out some places to go. Thanks, Fodor's!

My only complaint is with Amazon.com. You shipped it to the wrong address and then ignored my email asking for help. My brother then shipped the book to me at his own expense...and you then ignored my email asking for reimbursement. Nicely done. And THIS is why I canceled my Amazon Prime membership. Caveat emptor, indeed.

This review is from: Fodor's Caribbean 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
It is difficult finding information on the small island of Dominica. This book covers it and has a lot of useful information, as well as general travel information.
