3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use; concise, March 30, 2000
By A Customer
Frommer's South Pacific is concise and easy to use, but it is not up to a par with its other guides of tropical areas due to its shortfall of information on adventure tour and sporting opportunities, such as snorkeling, bicycle rentals, etc. It's still probably the best overall for the South Pacific, but it needs more sporting option details to earn the normal Frommer's rating of 5 of 5.

3.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for Package Tourists, February 1, 2001
This book covers only the hot spots likely to be visited by someone with not over two weeks to spend in the South Pacific. Any place slightly off the beaten tourist track or without comfortable hotels isn't included. Goodwin does tack a few cheap hostels onto the end of his upscale hotel listings, in a condescending way. It's a cleverly written book, well suited to the package tour market. In short, a guide intended to help you spend money rather than save it.

5.0 out of 5 stars South Pacific - The Smart Choices, April 1, 2001
By 
Sandra Kyle (Vancouver, B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews
It is very obvious that the author of this book has actually been to the South Pacific - he is very enthusiastic about the area - and sincerely wants his readers to love it too! We have followed the book's on two trips and have found the advise to be 100% accurate. I highly recommend this book - it can be trusted.
