Editorial Review:

Hedonistic resorts are counterbalanced here by Greek and Roman excavations. Tour Pompeii and Herculaneum, an amphitheater or a submerged city. Visit hissing beaches and bubbling spas on Ischia. Take in the gastronomic specialties of gourmet pizza, handmade pasta and fresh seafood. Here is a guide to it all, from art and vineyards to fashions and antiques. Cooking and language classes are featured. This signature Hunter series targets travelers eager to explore the destination. Extensively researched and offering the very latest information, Adventure Guides are written by knowledgeable, experienced authors. The focus is on outdoor activities - hiking, biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, downhill skiing, parasailing, scuba diving, backpacking, and waterskiing, among others - and these user-friendly books provide all the details you need, including prices. The best local outfitters are listed, along with contact numbers, addresses and recommendations. A comprehensive introductory section provides background on history, geography, climate, culture, when to go, transportation and planning. These very readable guides then take a region-by-region approach, plunging into the very heart of each area and the adventures offered, giving a full range of accommodations, shopping, restaurants for every budget, and festivals. All books have town and regional maps.

more details, more information, and a sense of humor make this a fine guide for Puerto Vallarta and the area.

Editorial Review:

Full color photographs and maps throughout. This region is one of the top destinations for America travelers. That means five-star resorts and fancy restaurants, of course, but so much more as well. Dive in Los Arcos, bird-watch in the Marietas Islands, whale-watch in the local waters (a UNESCO site). The guide covers Guadalajara, Laguna Chapala, Tomatlan, Quemaro, Chamela Bay, Costa Careyes, Cuitzmala, Tecuan, Cihuatlan, Platya Boca de Iguanas, Playa Manzanilla and Barra de Navidad/Melaque. All the hotels and restaurants are profiled in depth, as well as the sites worth seeing, entertainment, activities, and all practical details.

Editorial Review:

A thorough revision - now with color maps and photos throughout - of this comprehensive guide to the popular ABC islands, located just off the Venezuelan coast. Discover the quiet life of Bonaire, gamble away at Aruba's casino, hit the high-style designer clothing stores in Curacao, and relax on the glorious white beaches of all three! Here is the ultimate guide to discovering the high life and cool spots of the ABCs, written by authors who have sacrificed their vacations to research this book (poor things!). This Alive Guide focuses on shopping (snatch up some duty-free bargains), hotels and restaurants (colorful local cuisine and fine dining alike), with special attention paid to the cream of the crop. Sightseeing, historical walking tours, wildlife discovery, and watersports are also covered. The activity-oriented Sunup to Sundown sections will fill your day with beaches, deep-sea fishing charters, diving excursions, moped rides and more, while After Dark tells you of the best happy hours, the liveliest clubs and the bars where things really hop! Handy A-Z sections for each island provide all the practical details - airline offices, banking hours and locations, emergency telephone numbers, shopping hours, tourist information booths. Easy-to-read maps and a detailed index complete the picture.

Editorial Review:

New edition of a proven top-seller, now with color photos and maps throughout. Half-French, half-Dutch, St. Martin is considered the most interesting island in the Caribbean. 475,000 tourists visit by air each year, plus 1.3 million cruise ship passengers, more than all except Cozumel, the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. Few other guides to these extremely popular islands exist - other than our own St. Martin & St. Barts Alive, a long-time bestseller. Both books are complete, comprehensive travel guides, but the Alive Guide contains extra detail on what to do indoors - dining, shopping, where to stay, nightlife. the Adventure Guide has extra information on what to do outdoors - boating, walking, biking, eco-tours, sailing, wildlife spotting, horseback riding, golf, tennis, windsurfing, fishing. No other all color guides exist. On the Dutch side of St. Martin, everything runs on time, there are big casinos, and great duty-free shopping; on the French side are innumerable world-class restaurants, beautiful girls, nude beaches, and nothing runs on time. St. Barts, next door, is chic and special - the St. Tropez of the Caribbean - with few buildings over one story, no large hotels, and 22 stunning beaches. Both islands are prosperous, upscale, with few poor. Tourists are not pursued and pestered by sellers of knickknacks and tee-shirts, as they are elsewhere in the Caribbean.

The real Honduras 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This guidebook by Maria Fiallos is the best coverage of Honduras available. All the dive sites, all the restaurants, and all the hotels from budget to luxury. The author is a real expert, and the information is fresh and complete.

Editorial Review:

Honduras is a wonderland of Maya ruins, cloud forests full of toucans, monkeys and jaguars, tiny villages perched on hillsides. And prices are astonishingly low. Copan is here, the primary Maya cultural center from 400 to 800 AD. The Bay Islands with their spectacular coral reefs lure divers from around the world. The author shares inside information - far more useful and revealing than any other guide. Town and regional maps, photos, index.

Not about Mazatlan 1 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This book is absolutely worthless. It is not accurate, the info is mostly outdated. Mazatlan is Paradise, and Moving to Mexico are way better guides.
I can't think of any words to describe how terrible the information in this book is. After reading it, I wonder if the author has ever been even near Mazatlan.

Editorial Review:

Color photos and maps throughout. Here you'll find every practical detail on the Mazatlan area that you need, as well as town and regional maps and sound travel advice from an author who knows the region intimately. Adventures range from cultural to physical. Learn Spanish in Mazatlan's top language school, explore nature at Teacapan, or wander around the Piedre Labradas, ancient stone carvings lying on the beach at Estacion Dimas, just north of the city. A walking tour of the city itself takes you to historic houses, delightful plazas, museums and gardens. Surrounding towns - Tepic, Guasave, San Blas - are also covered. Parks and reserves are given special attention, with tips for birders and nature lovers.
