2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother if you already have the 2nd edition, September 22, 2004
I very much liked the 2nd edition of this text. I purchased the 3rd edition because we are planning our third trip to Jamaica. Unfortunately, this new edition contains very little updated information. In fact, two of the newer Riu hotels in Negril (one of which opened in 2001) are not even included in this guide.
This is a very helpful guidebook, but don't bother buying the new edition if you already have the 2nd edition. You can find as much useful information online.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate honeymoon guide., August 14, 2003
By A Customer
I recently got married and this guide was all I needed to find the best of Jamaica. With its section on the Best of Jamaica, I was given the top choices for everything from the best beaches, honeymoon resorts, romantic getaways, shopping buys, and gold courses. This guide made planning my trip simple, with all the information I needed to know before I got there, like the exchange rate, the calendar of events, and tips on dining out and shopping.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for sifting through the options, April 18, 2008
I grew up in Jamaica, but never really took advantage of the "tourist stuff" while there (who does that at home?). I found this book very helpful for sifting through all the many things the island had to offer and targeting the best (and most reasonably priced) restaurants, hotels, etc. on my last visit.

Only thing they missed, like most reviews, is the cultural differences across the island. Just like Arkansas and New York don't have the same culture, accent, terms, etc., the same is true of different regions in Jamaica.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic information
We're going to Jamaica next year and although there is an ABUNDANCE of information online I really wanted a small travel book to have at home and to take with us. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars I just returned from Jamaica and this book was of no help!
For example, the book lists a tour company for Ocho Rios. I called the company and they stated they do not even tour the area. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth It
A fairly useless guide, with many facts but no feeling. Everyone knows their own expectations of Jamaica. This book does not address this at all.
