Still Waiting

You guys really suck,over a month and still no merchandise,may be the last time I ever purchase anything thru you!

Rating :

Up to date. Well Organized. Wish it had more photos

Read it before going to PR. (Unfortunately, left it in the airplane while landing in PR!)
The book seemed to be up to date. It is well organized, things are easy to find. But it has almost no pictures of the attractions, that is something they can certainly improve upon.
It also has good coverage of Vieques and Culebra.
Lot more practical information compared to Insight's guide to PR. But that guide has a lot of good pictures and articles in discovery channel style about PR.

Great, informative book!

Whenever I'm planning a trip I aways buy a number of travel guides--Moon, Rough Guide, Insight, Lonely Planet, etc. to read beforehand but this is the first time I've ever bought a Fodors. It's a great addition to my Puerto Rico collection. The book is as informative or even more so than some of the other guides. But what I really like about it is its organization-- with lots of easy to read listings. The book is small and compact (not a pocket size) and feels good in the hand also. In fact, I've decided that this will be the one guidebook that I will take with me to Puerto Rico.

Rating :

Good compact book

All in all, I think this is a good resource. There are a few things that seemed a bit out-dated (comparing to my AAA travel guide for the Caribbean), but I understand that there is a 2010 edition soon to be released.

The city maps are extremely helpful, and are really great to use for walking tours. There is just enough background information to be interesting, but not too much to be boring.

Would definitely recommend.

This was useful

These guides are never completely correct and several places listed in this guide have already closed. However, it was still a good way to figure out what we wanted to do while in Puerto Rico even if it was not as accurate and up to date at Lonely Planet guidebooks often are.

Rating :

Lonely Planet is always great and this one is no exception.

We used to buy several different travel books before going on a trip but quickly learned that the Lonely Planet gave us the best and most consistent advice. We had no problems on our recent trip to Puerto Rico.

Best book if you want a lot of information

I'm writing this review about the 2008 updated edition. Before I travel, I love to read about the place I'll be going so I buy a lot of these travel books. I have the Puerto Rico version of Moon, Rough Guide, Insight and Fodors. While each of the books have their own virtues, this Lonely Planet book is the best one if you really want to learn a lot about the place you are going. It goes into much more detail about the history and descriptions of different places on the island than any of the others. If you just want a quick reference for restaurants and hotels then Fodors or Rough Guide is probably a better choice but Lonely planet is the best for helping to plan where you want to go and what you want to do before you get there.

It gives all the basic information, I was expecting more "on-the-shoe-string" information (that's why I bought it).

Book very useful

Bought this book for my daughter. She and her friend say they are finding it very useful for planning their upcoming trip to Puerto Rico.

Rating :

Great book for the average traveler

This book doesn't have quite as much detail as the Rough Guide or Fodors, but for the average traveler, it's pretty darn good. It may not give you all the history or other details of a place but it will tell you enough highlights so that you can make up your mind about what you want to see and it will give you a few suggestions for the best (and best deals) on restaurants and hotels in each place as well. If you're someone who wants to know all the details, go for Rough Guide or Fodors. But if your the average traveler, and especially if you plan to spend most of your days in San Juan or at some other beach and you just want enough info to take a few day trips, the Moon book will be likely become your favorite.

Rating :

Don't bother!

This has got to be one of the worst travel books I have ever purchased. The book is extremely vague. It is as though all the tourism companies and restaurants got together and had this book printed. Picture a typical travel magazine with a few informative articles on what to do and see, then filled with tons of advertising from companies that want your money. The book is good at telling you what, where, and when but does not elaborate on how to get there. If your an adventurous traveler like me and likes to find and do things the locals do or likes to do the tourist things without paying one of the local companies to guide you (they always want you to do and see things on there schedule) the book is worthless. The book tells you where the great beaches are and gives vague directions on how to get to them but doesn't give any mile (km in Puerto Rico) markers or landmark references. This a big problem because in Puerto Rico almost none of the streets are markerd once your out of the big cities and even in the cities your lucky to find a street name. I was looking for books by Andrew Doughty but he only does Hawaii. If you ever go to Hawaii looks for his "Revealed" series, he writes the most detailed travel book. On the other hand it gets two starts because it does tell you where the good stuff is and for those less adventurous it's a great reference guide to all the local tourism companies.

Jack of all trades, master of none

I bought this Puerto Rico guide based on the positive reviews on this site, and was disappointed. This book is chalk full of information - a little bit about this, a little bit about that - but the information is spread out so thin that ultimately it is practically useless. Also, the beautiful color pictures are limited to just the first few pages. After that, everything it is all in black and white.

Puerto Rico Info

Good info to prepare for your trip, wish there was more info regarding those hidden cafes like Anthony Bourdains goes to.....ended up spending a lot of money on eating for lack of info on those hidden places. Helped us decide where to go during our stay.

Geting around in Puerto Rico

We have been to Puerto Rico before but will be going this time with our grandchildren. I have used a previous Rough Guide to PR and found it extremely useful. Last year, we found the Rough Guide to the
Dominican Republic to be an excellent guide which we could use while we were traveling as well as when we were planning our trip. We have already used our Puerto Rico guide to find places to stay different from those we stayed at last time. I have checked and found that descriptions of places we visited last time were accurate and believe that this new guide will be equally as accurate for our upcoming trip. I anticipate considerable use of the guide while we are in Puerto Rico. My only complaint is that the Rough Guides tend sometimes to be a bit too optimistic. However, I have never found this optimism to make me think that I wish we had not done something. In fairness, I have found the Rough Guides to more accurately approximate our responses to visits than a number of other guides.

just like the book

I was just on the island in February of 2009. The book was pretty much right on real time.

My favorite travel guides

I love the entire Rough Guide series and it is always the first book I order when I'm planning a trip. Rough Guides always seem to have more information than all the others--there always seem to be more restaurant and hotel listings and the descriptions about various places are more detailed. And the authors are frank and honest. If the author thinks a town is ugly--he'll say so, right in the text without trying to "be nice."
