Summary: Don't leave home without it!
Review: A marvelous guide book that is easy to use. What I liked best about it was that it was up to date, something very important when traveling in Mexico. The maps were easy to use and the grading system for hotels and resturants was very reliable. This book really did help make my trip special! I also recomend: "A Tourist in the Yucatan" a thriller set in the Yucatan! a great beach read!

Summary: Nothing to write home about
Review: I am off to Cancun in 2 months. Never been there, so I wanted to "check things out" in advance. I bought this and Frommers Guide. I was not impressed by either one. Fodor's was especially short on info in my opinion. The Cancun section was rather small overall. I have found better information just surfing the internet. They give you some very basic descriptions and price guides, but no recommendations. I have never been there... that is what I need! Which tour is best, which ruins should I see, etc, etc. I got NONE of that! Frommers was a little better in that they gave you more diverse information, but no real recommendations. I will see if I can find something better than both of these before my trip. If you must choose between these two popular travel guides, go with Frommers.

Summary: Fodor's Cancun, Cozumel, and Yucatan Peninsula 2000
Review: Like the other Fodor's guides that I've used in my travels, this book is phenomenal. From the hotels to restaurants to side trips, this book points out the bests of the Yucatan Peninsula. I've been to Cancun three times (most recently in February 2000) and can attest that the 2000 version is right on the money. I highly recommend this book for the first time visitor as it will give you great ideas for any length of visit. A also recommend it for those who have been to the region before as the book will recommend those areas that the first time visitors generally don't get to. The thing that is so helpful about the guid is that it helps you prioritize the things that you want to do.
