Book Description

August 26, 2005
Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's Caribbean features gorgeous color photos of the stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and colorful coral gardens that await you. There are dozens of islands and hundreds of accommodations to choose from, so our guide compares all the options, helping you find the tropical getaway that's right for you. We've included web addresses for every hotel, so you can check out pictures as you make your decision. Inside you'll find in-depth, honest reviews of lavish honeymoon resorts, intimate inns, family-friendly motels and condo complexes, and more, with selections in every price category.

We'll point you to the loveliest secluded beaches, and send you to the best places for snorkeling, diving, golf, sailing, tennis, deep-sea fishing, and more. You'll also get a complete shopper's guide, and up-to-date coverage of the hottest nightlife in the region, from glittering casinos and sizzling reggae clubs to funky beach bars. You'll even find an up-to-date cruise planner, tips on finding the best package deals, and an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't include the Bahamas!!, August 12, 2006
This review is from: Frommer's Caribbean 2006 (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)
Buyer beware--those looking for a one-stop reference to help choose a place in the Carribean to vacation had better look elsewhere. I bought this book for that very reason and found that somehow the Bahamas didn't make it into the list of Carribean islands, despite being included in every travel site's list of Carribean island destinations. While the information included is fine, the fact that I have to now buy another guide to get info on the Bahamas makes this book of little value for the money.
