Karl Luntta covers it all. I felt like I really got to know St. Lucia before I arrived, and this feeling was reinforced over and over as I visited the various places and restaurants that I'd read about in the Rough Guide. The book comes across with almost complete unbias, however there is a slight over romanticizing of the island. Overall, the info. was accurate and complete.

This review is from: The Rough Guide to St Lucia (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mini Rough Guide to St. Lucia, April 10, 2002

By A Customer

I purchased this guide to use on our honeymoon (2001). Neither of us had ever been to St. Lucia before (or even considered it as a destination). This is the first "rough guide" from this series either of us had used but it proved extremely useful. I must admit I was impressed by the accuracy of the information provided and I would not hesitate to purchase another guide from this series in the future.

While it did not tell everything we really needed to know, it definitely lead us in the right direction and helped in planning our itinerary.
