Book Description

Frommer's Complete Guides September 2, 2005
Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's Canczn, Cozumel & the Yucatan features gorgeous color photos of the stunning beaches, the colorful underwater world, and the mysterious Maya ruins that await you. This authoritative guide captures all the glitter of Canczn, as well as the more rustic and authentic charms of Cozumel, which boasts world-class diving and snorkeling in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. The authors have lived in and written about Mexico for years, so they're able to provide candid reviews of all the beach resorts, the best local dining, and the latest, hottest nightlife.

Beyond the major resort areas, we'll show you sleepy beachfront towns, sea turtle preserves, and fascinating inland towns where you can bargain in local markets. You'll travel Mexico 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!

About the Author

David Baird has lived in various parts of Latin America, including Mexico, Puerto Rico, Peru, and Brazil. He now makes his home in Austin, Texas, but he tries to get back to the turquoiseblue waters of the Yucatán whenever possible because he thinks he looks good in that color.

For Lynne Bairstow, Mexico has become more home than her native United States. For most of the past 13 years, she has lived in Puerto Vallarta, where she has developed a true appreciation and respect for the customs, culture, and natural treasures of Mexico. Her travel articles on Mexico have appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Private Air magazine, Luxury Living magazine, and the in-flight magazines of Mexicana Airlines and Alaska Airlines. In 2000, Lynne was awarded the Pluma de Plata, a top honor granted by the Mexican government to foreign writers, for her work in the Frommer’s guidebook to Puerto Vallarta.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good maps, but lacks important details, February 20, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frommer's Cancun, Cozumel & the Yucatan 2006 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
This guide misses some of the most interesting places to stay and completely skips the best restaurants, I think. Also, I wanted to know how to get to the ferry for Isla Mujeres from Puerto Morelos. There is only transportation information from the tourist area in Cancun or the airport.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for 1st Timers, April 14, 2009
This review is from: Frommer's Cancun, Cozumel & the Yucatan 2006 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
This was the only travel book we read and took with us to the Yucatan two years ago and it did us a fine job. Helped us have a great vacation in 2006 while we were there. We went all over the place while we were there and this book did a great job so we knew what to expect. Even now or a few years later this book would still serve you well if you wanted to save some money by buying a cheep used copy.
