3.0 out of 5 stars Little Updated from Last Version, January 12, 2007

This review is from: Moon Honduras (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)

I live in Honduras and used the previous version of the Moon Handbook quite a bit. In looking through the new version I find little that have been updated except things like the politics and some new pictures. I was quite disappointed to still see some restaurants and hotels that were listed in the last book and again reprinted in this one but that are out of business. Also the tourist visa information is incorrect due to a new law which was passed before the book was published. This mistake alone could cost some people time, money and hassle.
I like the layout and for the most part the information is good and correct but I think it is a bit of a scam that they call it a new version.

Don't leave to Honduras without this book! We went on a 10 day trip and we didn't go anywhere without this. It is very informative and truely lets you know the best things to do and the best places to stay in each city you visit. Included are phone numbers, addresses, prices and maps so you can find your way around the country and know what to expect. I highly recommend this book to anyone travelling to Honduras; it definitely made our trip better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Guide Book, January 13, 2007

This review is from: Moon Honduras (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)

My husband and I just got back from Honduras -- this was the best guide book by far. It was accurate, concise, informative -- we used it as our only guide for our two and a half week trip. It gave us the flexibility to plan our trip and book our hotels while we were in country. We noticed that it was THE BOOK that other travelers from all over used while in Honduras also. We would highly recommend this book for anyone!
