Frommer's Portable Acapulco, Ixtapa & Zihuatenejo

Rating:
Summary: At least you know where to stay
Review: I found this book to be disapointing. It seems to be pretty good at listing where to stay and where to eat but greatly lacks in the "what to do" department. Supposedly written by someone who has lived and traveled extensively in Mexico you might think the book would be filled with an insider's view on where to go and what to do. I'm going by cruise ship and they've provided me with more information on what there is to do in these places than this guide. I'd put this on the "there's got to be a better guide" list and pass it by.

Summary: Needs more...
Review: Of 182 pages, only 29 are about Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. Also, there is too much emphasis on restaurants and hotels and not enough information about the location. I am fairly confident that I can find a place to eat when the time comes. What I want to know is: "what is there to see and do?"

However, the information that is in the book is helpful and well-written. I would recommend this book as a place to start but not a complete or even moderate guide.
