Product Description
With over 800 pages and 100 maps, the Rough Guide to The Caribbean is the ultimate handbook to this chain of tropical islands. In-depth coverage of the entire region with accounts of all the lively capital cities, colonial towns and remote, unspoiled beaches. There are hundreds of reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink, from all-inclusive resorts to characterful beachfront shacks, and everything in between. The authors give expert advice on exploring the islands up close, whether hiking in Dominica''s rainforest, diving in the Cayman Islands or experienceing the local culture - plus tips on island hopping.

4 out of 5 stars Good Guide, Just needs a Bit of an Update   September 15, 2007
Sarah B. Nelson (lexington, ky)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I used to live in St. Thomas, and traveled to the other Virgin Islands, as well as Montserrat, St. Kitts, Antigua and St Maarten/ St. Martin. This was far and away the best guide. Despite its scope, the Rough Guide was better at identifying the major attractions and conveying practical information than many of the specific island guides that I came across. It's very well edited.

The only caveat that I'd add is that it does need a bit of an update, especially with respect to departure taxes, taxi fares and Montserrat tours. Still, I couldn't recommend a better guide.
