With over 800 pages and 100 maps, the "Rough Guide to The Caribbean" is the ultimate handbook to this chain of tropical islands. This title offers 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 experiencing the local culture - plus tips on island hopping.

My boyfriend and I bought this book before going to visit relatives in Barbados. We were considering visiting other islands and thought this could help us decide which. We also used it whilst in Barbados for which it was OK but there wasn't really anywhere near enough detail or information.

Good Guide, Just needs a Bit of an Update,
By Sarah B "Sarah" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Rough Guide to the Caribbean: More Than 50 Islands, Including the Bahamas (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
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. |
