Product Description An in-depth guide to these highly popular English-speaking Caribbean islands by the author of our top-selling Virgin Islands Adventure Guide. Dominica is unique in that it was never farmed over; it remains jungle-covered, mountainous and the only island still occupied by the original Carib Indians. St. Lucia is more developed, but is breathtaking in its beauty, with high peaks and azure-blue bays dotted with colorful boats. Town and regional maps, color photos, fully indexed.

| Customer Reviews: Inaccurate, poorly organized. October 30, 2005 C. Smith 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
We just returned from Dominica (October 2005), having foolishly taken this book along as our sole guide. Difficult to believe the author has visited the island, with sketchy information about much of it. Examples: Douglas Bay is described as having a shady beach, which is almost nonexistent, with half a dozen palms centered on a rocky coastal bay more than a mile long. Chaudiere pool, one of the most beautiful places on the island, is not mentioned.
Poor organization is made worse by a weak index. The topics "waterfalls" and "rivers" do not appear, and the term "Carib tribes" is out of alphabetical order, for example.
Pleasant reading for the flavor of the island, but don't take it with you for real exploration of this beautiful gem.
