1.0 out of 5 stars Worst guidebook I have ever read, March 3, 2003

By	Warren A. Jackson (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This is possbily the worst guidebook of any kind I have ever read. Loaded with meaningless phrases such as "Nighttime activities are not to be missed," and other high-school-yearbook-type observations, it is absloute torture to ferret out any helpful information buried in the inane prose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another jewel by Moon, April 15, 2003

By A Customer

I have come to rely on the quality, detail and accuracy of Moon's guidebooks. They have added to my enjoyment of vacations for years. This book is no exception. It provides meaningful information on in-town attractions and out-of-the-way destinations alike. A must for anyone visiting the Yucatan!
