5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars: Overall a Great Reference, May 25, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fodor's Hawaii 2007 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
What I like most about this book is that there is plenty of great information on each island's character, which is very helpful. If you're into the nightlife, restaurants and party scene, you don't want to be spending half of your vacation in say Kauai (for example). And if you're into nature photography, likewise it would make little sense to spend most of your time on Oahu. Every island is somewhat tailored to a particular lifestyle, so definitely look into each before booking!

And as you would expect with any Fodor's reference, there are many detailed hotel and restaurant recommendations as well. This is a must-have reference if you've never been to Hawaii before and own no other books of its kind. We searched through quite a few before buying this one and are glad for it.

The main flaw are the maps. I would like it if the maps were more detailed. They could have used one spread for each high level island map (which is what the book has), and then one spread for the east and west sections of each island, so you can really see where the main roads go, where the best stopping points are, etc. Still a great book overall. Highly Recommended.

One thing to remember: the north and east shores of each island get more rain than the south and western shores, depending on the time of year. Sometimes it's easy to forget this looking at the beautiful pictures of hotels online, etc. :-)

This review is from: Fodor's Hawaii 2007 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
This is a decent book that gives you information on lodging, activities, eats, etc. The problem is that all of the Hawaiian Islands are packed into this one guide. That limits what can be said about each island. The books such as "Big Island Revealed" are much more detailed and aren't afraid of letting you know if a resort is prettier on paper than in reality. Those are 5-star books that a vacationer to the Islands must have.

Very helpful resource if you're planning a trip to Hawaii. Concise, easy to use book. I was able to decide which islands I want to visit because of the excellent info this book has to offer. It also rates all the accommodations, restaurants, tours, etc. Gives great web sites to check out in helping you plan your trip. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who has never been to Hawaii!
