2.0 out of 5 stars Needs an update, 19 Sep 2004

By	"sanderknirim" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Philippines (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)

After several visits in the last year to the Philippines I have come to realise that this guidebook is seriously out of date. Mostly because this print is already an update of an earlier print. Especially with regards to Northern Luzon (information about Baguio), Mindoro (a.o. Puerto Galera and Roxas) and about transport from and to Metro Manila (due to frequent changes in busterminals). About other regions I can't give any statements because I have not been there. But based on what I have found out so far I'm first making use of the Internet and local contacts (through e-mail and telephone) before turning to this guidebook. Of course the book can be used for reference material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Would recommend, 26 Jun 2004

By	O. Knight (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Philippines (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Found this book useful and informative. I've often found Lonely Planet to be quite out of date, but not on this occasion - price guides seemed quite accurate and didn't find anything that had disappeared. I've seen some other reviews (by Americans) criticising it for having an anti-US bias in the history sections - but I didn't agree with this. The Philippines has had a very difficult history and has suffered at the hands of other countries colonial interests - the US included - and I thought this was well explained. The general commentary is informal and I would recommend this guidebook for all generations.

4.0 out of 5 stars best of the bunch, 9 Sep 2005

By	simon gurney - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Philippines (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)

none of the travel guide book companies seem to be interested in keeping their philippines titles as up to date as many of the other more popular asian destinations, but this version of the lonely planet seems to be the most comprehensive and current.
this is not one of the biggest lonely planet guides but sufficiently covers the main areas vistied by the majority of visitors to the philippines, it may be a little out of date on the ground, and the photography and layout seem a littel dated compared top other guides, but in terms of usabilty, it is way out in front.
Of particular note there are some very useful maps of some of the lesser visited islands, and the diving section is a little long winded but useful.
in need of a big update without doubt, but currently the most useful guidebook to the wonderful philippines islands.
