Bahamas Guide, 4th Edition (Open Road Travel Guides)

Rating:
Summary: Better than all the other guidebooks on the Bahamas
Review: I just came back from the Bahamas using this book as my guide and had a fantastic time. Although the cheapo hostels are not covered, all the great small and large hotels were honestly reviewed, and all the best isalnds were covered in real detail. An excellant book for people who want to discouver the real Bahamas and have one to two weeks to do so. I would strongly recommend this one above Fodors or Feildings...

Summary: Suggest itineraries,gives details.Not all OutIslands covered
Review: Interesting approach: Suggest itineraries and give details for the trips. Detailed info but only on NewProv,GrandBah,Abacos,Eleu,Harbour,Cat,Exumas,Andros,Bimini. Skimpy info on out islands. Good complement to more detailed and complete travel book. Includes mailboat info. Gives real prices, not $ signs. Doesn't give low budget accomodations. No good maps.

Summary: 3rd edition is skimpy, out of date for Grand Bahama Island
Review: The info about the Bahamas country in general was good, but the info specifically about Grand Bahama Island is skimpy and out of date. I found the Fodor's Bahamas book much more useful for that island.
