5.0 out of 5 stars Great, informative book!, May 1, 2009

By	Delilah Lily "dellil" (Cleveland, Oh) - See all my reviews

Whenever I'm planning a trip I aways buy a number of travel guides--Moon, Rough Guide, Insight, Lonely Planet, etc. to read beforehand but this is the first time I've ever bought a Fodors. It's a great addition to my Puerto Rico collection. The book is as informative or even more so than some of the other guides. But what I really like about it is its organization-- with lots of easy to read listings. The book is small and compact (not a pocket size) and feels good in the hand also. In fact, I've decided that this will be the one guidebook that I will take with me to Puerto Rico.

4.0 out of 5 stars Up to date. Well Organized. Wish it had more photos, May 23, 2009

By	T2 "TN" (CA,USA) - See all my reviews

Read it before going to PR. (Unfortunately, left it in the airplane while landing in PR!)
The book seemed to be up to date. It is well organized, things are easy to find. But it has almost no pictures of the attractions, that is something they can certainly improve upon.
It also has good coverage of Vieques and Culebra.
Lot more practical information compared to Insight's guide to PR. But that guide has a lot of good pictures and articles in discovery channel style about PR.
