Book Description

Frommer's Complete Guides September 9, 2008
America’s #1 bestselling travel series

Written by more than 175 outspoken travelers around the globe, Frommer’s Complete Guides help travelers experience places the way locals do.

• More annually updated guides than any other series

• 16-page color section and foldout map in all annual guides

• Outspoken opinions, exact prices, and suggested itineraries

• Dozens of detailed maps in an easy-to-read, two-color design

Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer’s Cancún, Cozumel & the Yucatán features gorgeous full-color photos of the white-sand beaches, mysterious ruins, and colorful market towns that await you. Our authors have lived in and written about Mexico for years, so they’re able to provide valuable insight and advice. They’ll steer you away from the touristy and the inauthentic, and show you the real heart of Mexico's Mayan homeland. Let them take you to charming colonial towns, lovely beach resorts, ancient ruins, traditional villages, and natural wonders, from the glitz of Cancún's hotel scene, to the mysterious ruins of Ek Balam.

You’ll travel the Yucatán like a pro with our candid advice and handy Spanish-language glossary. Also included are accurate regional and town maps (including site plans of the major ruins), up-to-date advice on finding the best package deals, a free color fold-out map, and an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap!

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Planning Tool, January 2, 2009
By

(VINE VOICE)    (2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Frommer's Cancun, Cozumel & the Yucatan 2009 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
After checking out multiple guides to Cancun and the surrounding area, this was by far the most helpful. There was good coverage of hotels, restaurants, night clubs, beaches &water sports, and shopping. The guide also offers good general information on traveling to Mexico in general and Cancun particularly. I should add that the entire Yucatan peninsula has similar coverage in this guide, not just Cancun.

As for their specific recommendations, we found their restaurant choices to be very solid and enjoyed all the highly rated places that we managed to visit. Our hotel was perhaps overrated by one star, but was certainly within the bounds of a reasonable rating. 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 fine 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 Top 10 Cancun and Yucatan (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE) or the Insight Compact Guide Cancun & the Yucatan (Cancun and the Yucatan, 1st ed). Both have pictures to help you see which sights you will most want to visit and which ones you don't mind skipping.

This review is from: Frommer's Cancun, Cozumel & the Yucatan 2009 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
Typical of all Frommer's guides, but hardly an update. I wonder when was the last time the reviewers actually visited Cancun as opposed to the more remote areas they clearly prefer. In fact, there is not mention of a single hotel or restaurant north of downtown Cancun. Playa Mujeres and the top resorts there are not even mentioned. If you are exploring the remote areas of the Yucatan this is a great resource. If you are not, try one of the other guides. I would return this one if I hadn't already ripped out the map.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not much on Cozumel, February 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frommer's Cancun, Cozumel & the Yucatan 2009 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
This book is wonderful if you are looking to go to the Yucatan or Cancun. But don't buy it if you want to go to Cozumel. There are probably 400 pages in the book, and a whopping 6 pages only are on Cozumel, which is what I bought the book for. Wonderful book and the authors are great, and the pull out map will come in handy!
