Great accommodation recommendations and information on all the many beaches found in each of these island nations. Well laid out, with historical info on each place etc. You'll need no other guide on the Caribbean.

This review is from: Footprint Caribbean Islands (Footprint Caribbean Islands Handbook) (Paperback)
This product was exactly what the description had described. I don't mind a book that is a little used, but this one still had pages sticking together. All good news!
