One unbiased and comprehensive resort review source 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The book gives detailed info on diving, dining, stay and all other points of interest as the author himself has stayed in every resort he is writing about. Especially for Maldives when choosing the resort is the focal point of the vacation planning and the resort stay is THE vacation this book is indispensable. I had to get mine from Maldives airport as it is hardly available otherwise.

Editorial Review:

The bible for Maldives holiday-makers. Adrian Neville travelled, independently, to every resort in the country. The photographs and reviews combine to give the only accurate and detailed picture of every resort. Each review includes unique 'relative price' and 'room density' figures as well as a box of key prices and contacts. This is a beautiful way to making the right choice of resort. This is the smaller 'guidebook' size format published in August 2007. It contains the full set of reviews from the original, large format publication (ISBN 9991521658) though some photographs and graphics have been dropped to fit this smaller size.

A gem from the Indian Ocean 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This book manages to capture the extraordinary beauty of what is probably the most beautiful place on earth. The photographs are stunning (most of them are used on the postcards you'll find at the resorts!)and the accompanying narrative is informative, if brief. Although a little out of date in terms of the resorts covered and demographics supplied, I doubt you'll find a more impressive literary souvenir for your stay in the islands.

Editorial Review:

With his incomparable photographs of the Maldive Islands, Michael Friedel, one of Germany's leading photojournalists, has made the breathtaking beauty of these jewels of the Indian Ocean famous throughout the word. His aerial views of the Maldives have given a new perspective of their home to the islanders themselves. On the 10th anniversary of the Maldive independence his pictures were used in a series of postage stamps. For over twenty years Michael Friedel has been taking photograph of these tropical atolls on land, under water and from the air. This volume contains a selection of his finest work.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Students of architecture, hotel and commercial building design, and travel will all find much to attract in Cool Hotels: India, Maldives, Sri Lanka: it features the best hotels of the region, from rustic to big city, and discusses craftsmanship, artistic d‚cor, and landscaping qualities which make each hotel exceptional. The meat of Cool Hotels lies in its full-page color photos of both interior and exteriors of featured hotels.

Editorial Review:

With more than 500 ravishing full-color photographs, Cool Hotels brings you to the best hotels in India, the Maldives and Sri Lanka. The super-deluxe establishments included here are all at the cutting-edge of hotel design and management. Each property has been hand-picked according to a set of criteria that includes a strong design aesthetic, architectural integrity, and a sense of individuality a million miles away from the cookie-cutter approach of chain hotels. Many of these properties have never been featured in guides before, and many have recently opened. Cool Hotels is the first in a series of hotel guides focusing on Asia. Ultimately these will be the definitive guides exclusively featuring Asia's finest places to stay.
