Summary: Excellent Guide Book
Review: This proved to be an excellent guide book. It combined a little history, current culture and the all the basic maps and reviews you could ask for. I especially enjoyed the history, which went into some details around about how Cabo became what it is today. I spent a week traveling around Cabo between San Jose, La Paz and Todos Santos and the maps and reviews proved spot on (outside out of the fact that the dollar doesn't go as far as it used to and the prices were generally a little higher than quoted)!

Summary: Good Region Overview
Review: We found this book to be a pretty good overview of the Los Cabos region. You can pretty much get to anywhere you want to go using this book. Most of the hotels and restaurants are detailed, but not enough detail is given. If you are looking for recommendations, they are hard to find in this book. For the most part it just describes what the establishment offers. The author does cover all of the areas. We found details on the East Cape region lacking in other books. Although not extensively covered in this book, it did have the best information we could find. To be honest, this area is fairly simple, and this guide does a good job at telling you what you can expect where. I would recommend this book for travelers to the region, but it could use more reviews of the many dining and lodging options, could use some updating, and would benefit from a more comprehensive mapping of the various regions. Please check out the detailed trip report at diveatlas.com for more details.
