Rough guides are ideal for a certain kind of holiday. If you are planning to go to an all inclusive resort in Cancun and only venture out for arranged excursions then this book will never leave the shelf. Rough guides are for those who want to explore the real thing. That is why I won't visit any country without a copy.
This does not disappoint. The factual information is accurate and helpful. The restaurant recommendations were welcome - especially the wonderfully named 'Gory Tacos' in Downtown Cancun!
The information on archeological sites such as Coba and Chitchen Itza was extremely helpful, the travel tips essential.
The only slight reservation is that a bit of snobbery sometimes slips in. For example the resort of Akumel is dismissed as expensive and shallow. In fact it is beautiful and well worth the visit being quiet but accessible.
For all that this is still the best guide book for the thinking traveller!

I took this book backpacking in Mexico and found it to be a lifesaver. It gave detailed information and descriptions of towns, events, culture and history. The only problem was that some of the opening times of various places were sometimes slightly out, but that can't be helped.

Why is it I find Rough Guides so far preferable to those from Lonely Planet? I think their structure has much to do with it - the way the sections at the front are ordered and presented and also the extensive context sections at the back. But I appreciate the maps and even the paper used too. Classy comes to mind. 'Mexico' is no exception and is well researched. Now I'm back home, I think the book should play down the attractions of Oaxaca, which seems at risk of being almost overwhelmed by tourists. But I would encourage more people to spend time in Mexico City, a quite extraordinary place with masses of history, an authentic vibe and often exceptional visual appeal.
