Karl Luntta covers it all. I felt like I really got to know St. Lucia before I arrived, and this feeling was reinforced over and over as I visited the various places and restaurants that I'd read about in the Rough Guide. The book comes across with almost complete unbias, however there is a slight over romanticizing of the island. Overall, the info. was accurate and complete.

I purchased this guide to use on our honeymoon (2001). Neither of us had ever been to St. Lucia before (or even considered it as a destination). This is the first "rough guide" from this series either of us had used but it proved extremely useful. I must admit I was impressed by the accuracy of the information provided and I would not hesitate to purchase another guide from this series in the future.

While it did not tell everything we really needed to know, it definitely lead us in the right direction and helped in planning our itinerary.

I wasn't expecting the indepth piece of work on every subject you can think of. Even if a single paragraph the necessary information is provided on transportation, locations, grocery stores, buses, night life, history, places to visit, maps, trails and the national forests. Well history and rain forest got more than a paragraph. I highly recommend this pocket size, encyclopedia wise book

I bought this book because I am going on my honeymoon to st. Lucia. I thought that it would give some ideas of what the island was like, and what to see there (maybe some pictures of some of the sights). Instead It gives facts for people who are not planning on going to one of the resorts on the island, ie. passports, airlines, rentals. I was a little disapionted I could have found the information in this book online.
