This guide could have used more updated information. In listing

the restaurants in Gros Islet/Rodney Bay some of the restaurants

and clubs were either closed or didn't exist. The other information was accurate like the Sulphur Springs in Soufriere

and downtown Castries. also more pictures and detailed maps should have been included. Overall the guide was mediocre during my visit in St. Lucia.

I found the three or four maps included were not detailed very well. I was hoping to be able get better maps so I would know what to expect and how to get around.

I was planning a honeymoon to St. Lucia, however, this book actually made me change my mind! It included reports of Dengue Fever, documented poisonous tree sap, stated that the roads and many of the tourist sights are dangerous & rickety, and also boasted polluted rivers and waterfalls. Although I am not entirely sure about the truth of the text, I don't want to risk it and find out that the book was true. I didn't want to give it a 5 for truth telling, however, I didn't want to give it a 1 for scaring me away from the island...so I'll settle for a 3, you decide for yourself!
