2.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, but information not up to date, March 5, 2007

By	Stephanie From the Block (Forest Hills, NY USA) - See all my reviews

The book does what it intended to do - touches on highlights of Cancun and surrounding areas. So for that purpose it's good. However, note that it does not account for 2005's Hurricane Wilma, so information provided for hotels, beaches, restaurants, snorkeling/scuba is not updated. Many of these were destroyed so call ahead or check online blogs/reviews that are more updated.
