4.0 out of 5 stars Antigua guide..., June 15, 2001

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Antigua & Barbuda (Paperback)

My fiancee and I are going to Antigua for our honeymoon. We are staying at an all-inclusive resort, but want to take a day to tour the island. This book was very informative on popular attractions, places to visit, transportation and prices. I was only dissapointed with the fact that there weren't that many photos of the island...but the few that were in there were very pretty! Definitly worth buying if you want a quick, informative overview of the island!

10/10/02 Flew inverness-gatwick-antigua by BA and spent 10 days following the Rough Guide. As this isle has few road signs to speak of the Guide kept us on track and to places we would never have found or been aware of.The gorgeous secluded bay 400m back from Devil"s Bridge was indeed perfect and empty! Eating and drnking could also be relided upon ,Turner"s on Jonson"s point haveing a great view of Montserrat volcano(take bonocs),as well as ex food and svc. Having the guide made this holiday one i will remember, simple as that! Bon voyage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised by it's size, January 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Antigua & Barbuda (Paperback)

I examined numerous Antigua / Barbuda books in various stores and found this to be the best. It's physical size is tiny at 4" x 5.5" but it contained better information than any of the other books I saw. If you are looking for a book exclusively about Antigua and barbuda I would recommend buying this book. It will prove most useful if you review it before you start planning your vacation.
