Summary: Great book
Review: I found this to be a wonderful book - it has some amazing pictures. It affords you the opportunity to view some beautiful private houses that you are unlikely to be able to visit. Unlike some other books that focus primarily on houses in South East Asia, this one also features some great houses in Mexico and Jamaica.

Summary: Photographic tour of Tropical Houses
Review: Outstanding! Tim Street-Porter's wonderful photographs capture not only the beautiful interiors of these homes but also the sensual tropical locations in which the homes are located.Tim Street-Porter introduced many readers to the exotic palapa villas of Careyes in his earlier book Casa Mexicana, and the new book includes a breathtaking section on the area. The book will have you strategizing on how to buy a house in one of these exotic locales.

Summary: Beautiful and Exotic
Review: The cover is just a teaser to the exciting tropical houses Tim Street-Porter captures in this wondeful book. A real treat to exclusive tropical living around the world. Also an excellent reference to decorate in the tropical look. Street-Porter does it again as he did in Casa Mexicana. A book to enjoy over and over.

Summary: Perfect for Decorating Ideas
Review: We are trying to get an "island" feel for our home and this book was the perfect reference. Not only are the pictures of the homes (inside and out) breathtaking, but there is enough detail about the decorating itself to be useful for our purpose. The only downside is that it makes you want to sell your current house and just travel the world staying in these amazing homes! Especially tempting is the contact information at the very end in case you actually want to rent one of them on vacation...
