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.

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.

All in all, I think this is a good resource. There are a few things that seemed a bit out-dated (comparing to my AAA travel guide for the Caribbean), but I understand that there is a 2010 edition soon to be released.

The city maps are extremely helpful, and are really great to use for walking tours. There is just enough background information to be interesting, but not too much to be boring.

Would definitely recommend.

I am going to Peurto Rico in February and like I always do before vacations to new places, I bought a Foders.
Excellent, well-rounded information in an easy to review format

Great book all updated with directions and food prices. We used this book our whole vacation!

I like photography and prefer more pictures in a travel book so I can better plan my shots. The recommendations are good but I much prefer Top 10 Puerto Rico (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE).

The top 10 format is great.

Used as a second source before taking our trip. Good overall info.
Plan to buy one before any trip.

You guys really suck,over a month and still no merchandise,may be the last time I ever purchase anything thru you!
