Summary: Have they been to Cancun this decade?
Review: Complaints about this book: 1. The book recommends "Restaurant Los Almendros" as a good place to eat. One of the two locations isn't even there anymore, and the other one was some of the least impressive food from my whole trip. 2. Scarcely a mention of what turned out to be the best attraction in the whole region, Isla Contoy. 3. I wonder when the authors last visited; the advice given about having to ask for your check at a restaurant seems out of touch. I never once had to ask my entire visit. 4. The book should be called "The Yucatan." Cancun and Cozumel do not get enough coverage to justify their prominence in the title.

Summary: Disappointed that it was not up to date
Review: I buy alot of travel guides and I was disappointed after purchasing this one. Because it was published in 1999, I thought it would be up to date, but it was woefully inadequate. For example, the growing area of the so-called "Maya Rivera," for which I was particularly interested, is not current with the majority of resorts there. Also, I didn't feel Cancun was adequately covered. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Frommers (Fodor's too was not very current either), but I was very disappointed in this purchase.

Summary: A gem!
Review: Quick and to the point. If you carry one guide, it should be this one. Tells it like it is with a minimum of wasted detail. Unlike many guides, this one is actually funny in places.
