Fodor's Caribbean 2003

Rating:
Summary: OFTEN IMITATED, NEVER QUITE EQUALLED
Review: Still the best. Comprehensive, well organized, easy on the eyes, easy on the hands, and compact enough to take with you wherever you go. None of those fancy-schmancy pictures and other graphics that just distract you from what you're looking for. Of course, as with all guidebooks, sometimes the ratings make you wonder what they were smoking at the time; also I could do without those advertisement pages in the middle of the book. Don't rely too much on outdated editions, because of how often places open and close, or change hands (and, therefore, quality), or show effects of recent factors like construction or hurricanes.
