Summary: Very Informative
Review: My husband and I are going to Cozumel next year so I ordered this book as a guide. I was very impressed at the amount of data included. Not only does it give you recommendations on hotels, restaurants and beaches, but it also gives you great travel advice that our own travel agent hadn't even mentioned. I have also read the Fodor's 2001 guide to Mexico, and I have to say that although similar, the Frommer's is much more in depth. I do wish that that had more listings for Cozumel (hotels and restaurants), but I am still very pleased with it. The Cancun section is really descriptive. This guide will definitely travel with us next year.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Flip through, compare and contrast, and it looks the best
Review: So many guidebooks! If you're going to the area, how do you know which to get? I just spent an hour flipping through all of the Cancun/Cozumel/Yucatan books at a local bookstore, and this looks like the best all-around for our trip to Cozumel. So for all you shoppers out there: I haven't been on the trip yet, but for what its worth, an hour of browsing determined this book the winner.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Adequate for your Parents
Review: This book is pretty much what you would expect from Frommers. A good book showing what to do, with a certain kind of audience in mind. I would have to say its not for the backpacker type or the budget traveler. But good if you are a don't get your feet wet kind of a person. ....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 2002 edition better than ever
Review: This is the most up to date of the Yucatan guides. It balances discussions of Cancun and Cozumel with the less touristy areas. I found the discussions of Tulum and the Maya ruin sites particularly rich.

I only need one guide book when I go to the Yucatan and this is it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Save Your Money
Review: Unless you are a first timer to the area this book will tell you very little. While the information regarding the area (complete with maps) can be helpful the information on new restaurants and hotels is non existant. (I notice they didn't list many resorts including the well known Palace properties). This can help you with local things but use some other source for where to stay/eat. I also found the web had more information then this book did. The only difference I can see with this book was that they added "great websites". Which really consist of about five very generalized sites. If you want an overall view it is fine. If you want detailed info (where to eat, where to stay) I would suggest another publication.
