5.0 out of 5 stars Puerto Rico: Off The Beaten Path, March 25, 2001

This review is from: Puerto Rico Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

If you're planning a trip to PR and you are interested in being more adventuresome than lying on the beach in San Juan, this book is a great resource. It covers several different trip options around the island. Had I not purchased it we would have never made it to the parts of the island which we did and would have had a far less enjoyable vacation. Also the restaurants that were hi-lighted were extremely helpful in making the trip more enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puerto Rico: Off the Beaten Path, May 5, 2001

By	Juan (Guttenberg, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Puerto Rico Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

As a child, My wife lived in Puerto Rico for several years and thought she was familiar with the Island enough to not need another travel guide. We bought it anyway with a little reservation. Much to our surprise, what an AMAZING book! It gave us the best restaurants (not common tourist traps) to visit while traveling the Island, great maps to situate ourselves, and wonderful points of interest. To us it was invaluable!!! 5 stars!!! A must when traveling to PR. We loaned it to another couple that traveled to Puerto Rico last year, and they loved it too. I guess we will need to polish it off and pack it in our suitcase, since we are headed back next month.

5.0 out of 5 stars The author definitely goes off the beaten path!, May 21, 2001

By	Maria H. Ramirez "mhr1" (North Aurora, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Puerto Rico Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

Being born and raised in Puerto Rico,I thought I knew all the good places to visit. I bought this book with a little skepticism and what a wonderful surprise it was. The author definitely goes off the beaten path and the tourist traps. My husband and I just came back from there and the directions and the restaurants that the author mentioned were excellent.

If you definitely want to explore the richness of the island and the diversified environments that it offers, this book is for you. I highly recommend it. We took it with us on our recent visit and we really had a very enjoyable time.
