Product Description

Product Description

This delightful island trio combines Latin spice with European charm, creating a rare treat. Aruba is known for its white sand beaches, shopping and casinos. Bonaire's coral reefs attract divers from around the world. Curacao, the cosmopolitan sister, has fine restaurants, dynamic nightlife and European fashions. Best of all you can island-hop from one to the next! Here is the ultimate guide to discovering the high life and cool spots of the ABCs. Alive Guides tell you what's hot and what's not, with plenty of suggestions for daytime activity and nighttime fun. Each guide offers hundreds of restaurant and hotel profiles in all price ranges, including the very best places to stay and eat, adventure, nights in the city or budget accommodation. Beyond where to stay and eat, Alive Guides focus on the things that make each destination unique - hiking in the rain forests of St Lucia or diving off the coast of Bonaire. 'Sunup to sundown' sections cover a huge variety of activities and organized excursions, including a thorough listing of the best beaches. Suggested road trips and walking tours are accompanied by town and regional maps. 'After dark' sections give the lowdown on hot nightclubs, romantic bars, high-class casinos, movies and theatre. An A-Z reference at the end provides a comprehensive list of useful contacts, including ATM and bank locations, doctors and medical facilities, tourism offices, religious services and websites.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage of each island, 28 July 1998
By A Customer
I am planning a trip to Bonaire and picked up this book. After visiting all of the local book stores and not finding any books specifically about Bonaire, I thought I better check Amazon. I was concerned that this book might focus on the more populated islands only. However I was pleased to find that it dedicates about 1/3 of the book to each island. While it has the usual reviews on hotels & restaurants, it also has some interesting coverage of local history and driving tours. I was also pleased to find some coverage of scuba diving sites including maps locating the dive sites and skill ratings for each.

If you need info on the ABC's, I suggest you get this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thoughtful and well organized guide., 15 April 1999
By A Customer
Highly recommended! Handy size paperback, with practical information that doesn't insult your intelligence. Especially helpful in describing transportation options. The authors have written the book from the perspective of the traveler: needs and interests. Each island's history, people, government and culture are described in succinct, useful terms. Very insightful in how to make the most of your time. I found the descriptions of things to do especially helpful and the hotel and retaurant reviews and price ranges were accurate, for a refreshing change. Far better than the "advice" you get from the usual travel agent who only knows what the brochure writers said. If you're going to take along one guidebook to the ABC islands, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Great Info on the ABCs
After choosing ARUBA for a Honeymoon destination, I headed out in search of a Tourbook. Of Course, Amazon.com gave me more choices than local bookstaores. Read more
