4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Guide, March 12, 2007
By Joseph Boone (Irvine, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)         
This was one of two guides I purchased for a recent trip to Cancun and it was by far the most helpful. There are some inaccuracies caused by the months that have passed since the author finished writing the book but that is to be expected. For example, a few restaurants have closed and at least one large hotel (Aqua) has not yet reopened from hurricane damage even though the guide says that it should be open by now.

As for their recommendations, we found their restaurant choices to be very solid (they recommended Thai Lounge and that was the highlight of our trip). On the other hand, they overrated my hotel (Westin) by at least one star as it fell far short of Westin caliber. Other attractions such as Xel-Ha, Xcaret, and the ruins of Tulum all seemed to be graded and discussed fairly.

Overall, this guide does a good job of covering the Yucatan peninsula. The standard Frommer's format is here with "Best of" lists as well as suggested itineraries. In addition to information on each specific region of the Yucatan, there is also some excellent general information helpful to planning a trip to this part of Mexico. I would recommend buying this book. If you plan to do a lot of sightseeing, then also pick up either the Cancun & The Yucatan (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) or the Insight Compact Guide Cancun & the Yucatan. Both have pictures to help you see which sights you will most want to visit and which ones you don't mind skipping.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good, some bad, March 10, 2007
The first problem: the cover.It is supposed to be a 2007 edition, but that seems to be a misnomer of sorts. Some of the restaurants listed under Cancun aren't even open (Glazz and Mango Tango). Additonally, there are minor errors, such as the meals offered at existing restaurants. However, the reviews of the hotels and restaurants are apt,and we enjoyed all of the one that were recommended (especially Lorenzillo's).I think that the author/s could have done a better job listing activities as well, such as dinner cruises.Lastly,since the book is a guide, it should explain how to navigate economically in a general sense.Because Mexico is third world country, some people will do what they can to rip you off, or blatantly steal (the exchange desk at our hotel tried to keep $150 extra dollars, and the parking attendent at Chichen Itza told us it was $10 to park, even though it was 10 pesos{which is $.65 USA)-those are just two examples). Overall, it was very useful, and I do recommend it, but I also recommend looking into other options.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Old, April 17, 2007
If you are looking for info on hotels and restaraunts - keep looking. This was the least useful of the three books I bought. It is way too out of date. It is useful for things that dont change like day trips and general travel info, but much of that was too generic.

The pull-out map was very helpful but on the whole--I should have purchased the Foder's book. The structure of this text is hard to follow and not very user friendly.
