Of 206 pgs only 36 on Cancun - buy something else!, 20 Nov 1999
By C. Cutler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cancun Handbook (Moon Travel Handbooks) (Paperback)
I love the Moon Travel series, their guide to Maui is the best of all the Maui guidebooks. So I was somewhat (very) disappointed to find that this guide wasn't even in the same league. Of 206 pages, 36 are devoted to Cancun - they should have found a better name than "Cancun Handbook". The rest of the book covers Mexican history and all the other spots along the Caribbean Coast. A much better choice is the excellent "Cancun and Cozumel Alive" (which at least warns you that it is as much about Cozumel as Cancun)which I ordered at the same time. Local information is very cursory, almost like they were trying to conserve words. Shopping in Cancun is covered in less than one page, as opposed to the 12 pages devoted to this art in the other book I mentioned. Not even a word about converting Mexican clothing sizes to U.S. sizes.
I could go on and on about this book, but it's really not worth the effort to write it, or your effort to read it. Choose something better!

Lots of vital and practical info!, 29 Sep 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cancun Handbook (Moon Travel Handbooks) (Paperback)
"Cancun Handbook" offers a wide variety of practical and vital information on Cancun and its neighboring Isla Mujeres and Cozumel.Chicki Mallan covers, to name just a handful of her multitude of listings, Government & Economy; Transportation; Planning a Wheelchair Cruise; Health & Safety; Mayan Glossary; Spanish Phrasebook; and, of course, Archaeological Zones.
Shops and accommodations are also covered, of course. But often, Mallan doesn't write about them with the depth that they warrant--especially the hotels along Cancun's renown "Zona Hotelera."
But her sections on Chichen Itza; snokeling; and flora & fauna are marvelous blends of comprehension and precision.
