5.0 out of 5 stars
Good Guide,
This review is from: Us Virgin Islands Alive! (The Us Virgin Islands Alive) (Paperback)
US VIRGIN ISLANDS ALIVE! by Harriet & Douglas Greenberg is the Second Edition and also an excellent Hunter Guide Book. After an introduction which includes such things as history, climate, food, and various ways to travel to the Virgin Islands, the book gives great detail about three specific Islands: St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. With numerous color photographs of lovely scenic spots on each of these islands, the book serves as a wonderful memoir of your trip. You'll also find information about the best beaches, sight seeing, and shopping in addition to the various places to stay and eat. There is a variety of contact information including phone numbers and website addresses for booking your trip.

This review is from: Us Virgin Islands Alive! (The Us Virgin Islands Alive) (Paperback)
I got this book in preparation for a trip to St Croix in November of 2010. This would be an excellent book if it was not five years out of date. For both accommodations and restaurants, the descriptions where still accurate, were right on the money. There has been a lot of development in the US VI in the 6+ years since this was written and also many sites have gone out of business because of the recession. So, sites that are listed are no longer in existence and there is also a lot of new stuff. The maps in general are good but the free tourist maps available *everywhere* are better. Once you are in the USVI the free tourist information is so abundant and comprehensive you will not need a guide book and the information on the web is superior to this book for planning. A lot of its advice is no longer relevant (for example there are now a lots of big box stores so you don't need to know where the mom and pop stores were) or accurate (prices in general are typically 20% higher and days/times are way off). So, in general I would suggest you spend your money elsewhere.
