3.0 out of 5 stars
Good guidebook but poor maps,
By Don (Sierra foothills, Central California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Moon Yucatan Peninsula (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed the narrative in this book. While I didn't agree with every assessment (no one will agree with everything in any guidebook) I found the writing to be clear, concise, and humorous.
What I did not enjoy were the lousy maps. Many, maybe over half of them, say "scale not available". In this day of Google Earth and Mapquest, how can scales not be available? Also, it appears that many of the map layers were not overlaid properly. For example, the map of Cancun on page 30-31, shows hotel names in the zona hotelera. The parts of the names that are printed on the land show correctly. The parts of the hotel names that are printed over water are difficult to read. It looks like the ink layer for the water was put on top of the hotel name text layer. This is true of any printing on the water. The scale at the lower right is almost impossible to read. Did I maybe get a defective copy?

Just returned from a week on the Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen / Cozumel mostly), my wife and I found this guide to be well written and well organized with helpful information. Note, the pages are more newsprint/soft cover book so if it gets wet it doesn't dry that quickly. Written by a married couple while they lived in Mexico this guide is more down-to-earth than others we tried to use.

This book is everything that it stated. Still reading it. Will be taking alone on my trip to Tulum, Mexico the end of November.
