Summary: Just the facts
Review: I bought this book because I am going on my honeymoon to st. Lucia. I thought that it would give some ideas of what the island was like, and what to see there (maybe some pictures of some of the sights). Instead It gives facts for people who are not planning on going to one of the resorts on the island, ie. passports, airlines, rentals. I was a little disapionted I could have found the information in this book online.

Summary: Maps Are Lacking
Review: I found the three or four maps included were not detailed very well. I was hoping to be able get better maps so I would know what to expect and how to get around.

Summary: Mini Rough Guide to St. Lucia
Review: I purchased this guide to use on our honeymoon (2001). Neither of us had ever been to St. Lucia before (or even considered it as a destination). This is the first "rough guide" from this series either of us had used but it proved extremely useful. I must admit I was impressed by the accuracy of the information provided and I would not hesitate to purchase another guide from this series in the future.While it did not tell everything we really needed to know, it definitely lead us in the right direction and helped in planning our itinerary. ...

Summary: This book is a little too "rough."
Review: I was planning a honeymoon to St. Lucia, however, this book actually made me change my mind! It included reports of Dengue Fever, documented poisonous tree sap, stated that the roads and many of the tourist sights are dangerous & rickety, and also boasted polluted rivers and waterfalls. Although I am not entirely sure about the truth of the text, I don't want to risk it and find out that the book was true. I didn't want to give it a 5 for truth telling, however, I didn't want to give it a 1 for scaring me away from the island...so I'll settle for a 3, you decide for yourself!

Summary: All Bases Covered
Review: Karl Luntta covers it all. I felt like I really got to know St. Lucia before I arrived, and this feeling was reinforced over and over as I visited the various places and restaurants that I'd read about in the Rough Guide. The book comes across with almost complete unbias, however there is a slight over romanticizing of the island. Overall, the info. was accurate and complete.

Summary: Average
Review: This guide could have used more updated information. In listing
the restaurants in Gros Islet/Rodney Bay some of the restaurants
and clubs were either closed or didn't exist. The other information was accurate like the Sulphur Springs in Soufriere
and downtown Castries. also more pictures and detailed maps should have been included. Overall the guide was mediocre during my visit in St. Lucia.
