Product Description

Product Description
Mexico now has an abundance of wonderful, secret resorts and contemporary boutique-style city hotels. As travellers look for the latest places, mexicochic provides an elegant guide to the most luxurious and alluring hotels, resorts and spas in the country.

From the Publisher
Mexico Chic is the first in the Chic series. South Africa, Bali, Morocco, Spain and India all follow shortly with others planned. The concept of the series is to provide stunning photography in an environment of informative, specific detail on the country. Half coffee table, half guide book, each book is small enough to make the trip but most importantly will help you decide where to visit and by providing information on some of the best properties in the country will enable you to plan your trip more effectively.

4.0 out of 5 stars HIDDEN TREASURE, 18 Jul 2004
If you are deciding whether to visit Mexico on holiday, this may just be the book for you. It manages to combine factual information on hotels with country and province profiles that give a remarkable feel for what is, clearly, a thrillingly vibrant tourist destination.

One of the book's main strengths is the range of outstanding photographs - it's all very well having an informative and well-written text, but if you're thinking of going somewhere, then ideally you want to know what the place looks like beforehand. The book doesn't disappoint - most of the photographs, whether supplied by hotels and resorts or by the publishers, have a brilliant luminosity and tone.

The book is pitched at the more affluent traveller - the hotels featured are chiefly four and five star properties, but in Mexico these can still represent good value for those of us lucky enough to have pounds to exchange for the - still chronically weak - Mexican peso. I would have liked to see featured more properties in Mexico City, but it is a book about chic hotels, so the publishers obviously felt that there were a limited number of candidates for inclusion in the capital itself.

Don't expect it to be a guide book in the sense of giving you practical information such as airline phone numbers, public holidays, etc. For that you'll need a Lonely Planet or a Rough Guide. This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover - it acquaints you with the chic side of Mexico and the hotels in that glorious and enigmatic country which purvey real 'chicness'.

Two minor niggles - the text, written sometimes in pigeon English by two non-native speakers of the language, should have been better checked for stylistic and grammatical infelicities, while, at the end of the book, the two-page eulogy/shameless plug for Aeromexico and the apparent Nirvana that a flight with that airline represents, seems out of place.

However, these are small points. Buy the book if you want a brilliant introduction to Mexico and its better hotels, along with some truly stunning photos of the country. The one opposite page 95 is worth the cover price all by itself, in my view.
