About the Author

To My Fellow Travelers,

Upon your approach into Cancun international airport, as you look out over the striking white sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise water and beautiful greenery, you will know you are in for an incredible vacation!

During my first Cancun trip in March of 2000, I took along a few travel guidebooks to help me get acquainted with the surroundings. One thing that struck me is that there were so many fantastic places to dine and go out to at night that were conspicuously missing. Furthermore, when I read a great hotel review or one describing a restaurant, I wondered if I could trust that what the travel book was stating was honest and truthful. This is because they mentioned the same few places and presented reviews that sounded very similar to one another. I wondered if this was just a coincidence, or maybe there was something more going on beneath the surface. How is anyone to really know for sure? That is when I became inspired to do something about it.

When I set out to write a Cancun travel guide, I wanted to design something that would be new and completely different from the rest. I wanted it to deliver much more information about establishments, in a better, easier to use format, while making it the most accurate and reliable Cancun Mexico tourist resource. The only way to do this was to not write it on my own, but to invite assistance and input from the experienced traveling public. With actual vacationers contributing their viewpoints and opinions, this would truly be a new concept - the one and only Cancun travel guidebook and survey. I decided that the best method to accomplish this would be to create a website that can calculate vote scores while simultaneously collecting and analyzing a myriad of comments. This would ensure that the information the book would deliver is candid, honest and insightful.

I sincerely believe that our Cancun travel guide will help make everyone's vacation so much more enjoyable, in fact I guarantee it!

Saludos & Happy Travels,
Eric Rabinowitz

5.0 out of 5 stars "The" Travel Guide For Cancun, May 26, 2008

By 

Seamus O'Mangan "Dangers" (In a Little Cafe...) - See all my reviews

This review is from: People's Choice Guide Cancun 2008 - Cancun Travel Guide & Survey (Paperback)

Well, I've just read the new and improved People's Choice Guide and I have to say that it is a must have for travelers or tourists to Cancun. The guide covers almost everything Cancun from hidden gems to the glitz of the club set.

Unlike other prominent guides, the PCG covers almost every hotel, most restaurants and other points of interests. When I first started going to Cancun some twenty plus years ago, nothing would tick me off more than buying one of the so called major guides and not seeing a resort I was thinking about booking, in it. With the PCG that's not likely to happen and best of all many of the reviews are based on people whom have actually stayed at the Hotels or eaten at the Restaurants, and of course, the author who has managed to track down and keep regular tabs on the Cancun scene. The book is loaded with travel tips, recommendations, and up to date, concise addresses and phone numbers of everything the typical visitor to Cancun may need.

In my opinion, this is the most worthwhile guide to Cancun published and is more extensive than any other guide on the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST CANCUN GUIDE AROUND!, April 14, 2008

This review is from: People's Choice Guide Cancun 2008 - Cancun Travel Guide & Survey (Paperback)

This is definitely the most accurate book out there, as the others don't like Frommers and Fodors don't list every restaurant or hotel. This fantastic book doesn't only list restaurants and hotels, but also clubs, bars, great information about transportation, and many other great things. It is definitely worth a lot more than the price you're getting it for. It's a must have book! I highly recommend this book for both any first timers and even the experienced Cancun traveler.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THE 2008 EDITION ! !, May 30, 2008

This review is from: People's Choice Guide Cancun 2008 - Cancun Travel Guide & Survey (Paperback)

I am a repeat customer of Peoples Choice Guide Cancun and the new 2008 edition is fantastic. There are many helpful improvments, such as you can now search by Food Category and the Proximity Guide where you can quickly locate Restaurants and Clubs close to your Hotel. The locations for the hotels, restaurants and clubs are pinpointed to 1/10 of a km, which makes it far easier than saying "between km 9 and km 10. When you are driving, riding or whatever in a foreign land you don't want to be in busy traffic looking for a km to find a place.

I live in Cancun and even as a resident this book is most helpful. Locals have to eat out too. When I travel I always try to find a Travel Guide before I plan my trip. It would be great if this guide was available for other travel hotspots.

I imagine it is hard to keep any travel guide current, with name changes, business closings, new places, etc. but the author states that he makes frequent trips to Cancun to allow for the most up to date information at the time the guide goes to print. This travel guide is a good as it gets for Cancun.
