This review is from: Landmark Visitors Guides to Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao (Landmark Visitors Guides) (Landmark Visitors Guide Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao) (Paperback)
I did not like this guide. It gives little sense of the "spirit" of each island, seeming rather to be a list of "drive here, drive there" with occasional useful information, but little commentary on the sights. Personally, I prefer a guidebook that will tell me what is tourist-hokey and what is worth seeing. No websites listed in the accommodations section (which is pretty sketchy). Look up "sailing" and it just lists names and phone numbers of boats -- no indication of available tours, prices, comparative quality. Ditto with snorkeling, a list of places to snorkel, no info on where to rent gear or tour options. Frommer's Caribbean was a better resource.
