The Rough Guide to St. Lucia (Miniguides S.) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"Went to the beautiful St. Lucia last November, and bought this as a rough guide before I left. It proved very useful, and provided interesting summaries of local sights. You really wouldn't want anything in more detail. My only criticism is that it advised you to take EC$ not US$. Upon arrival I realised this was a mistake as everything is traded in US dollars, especially at hotels. And it was a real effort asking for everything's price in EC$.
I stayed at the Jalousie Hilton, and the guide described this hotel as a 'soulless playground for the rich', it could not have been more wrong! Our hotel and the people there were wonderful, and the scenery breathtaking. So I wouldn't advise you to choose your accommodation based on this book.
All in all a pretty good book, in a convenient travel size." Before renting a Holiday Casa in Caribbean, I would read this book while in Caribbean.

"Disappointing. Gone are the comments like, "The beds are hard, but the rooms are clean and good value". Gone is the detail that makes locals ask, "How did you know about this place?" Compared to other Rough Guides I've used this is short in detail, short on hard opinion and long on repetition and the euphoric stuff you get from the package holiday companies." Before renting a Alternative Vacation Villa in Caribbean, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Caribbean.

"St Lucia is a stunning island with such a choice of attractions and things to do that a good guide is essential. This offering by Karl Luntta gives a very fair and accurate picture of the best and worst of St Lucia. The guide gives useful phone numbers to allow the independent travellers to make the most of their trip and the Listings chapter ensures that you can find places to stay, eat etc. This book is pocket sized so convenient to carry around. Overall, a must for anyone going to St Lucia" This book has fantastic information about Caribbean. So take it with you when you Rent a Vacation Apartment in Caribbean.

"This guide could have used more updated information. In listing
the restaurants in Gros Islet/Rodney Bay some of the restaurants
and clubs were either closed or didn't exist. The other information was accurate like the Sulphur Springs in Soufriere
and downtown Castries. also more pictures and detailed maps should have been included. Overall the guide was mediocre during my visit in St. Lucia." This book has supper information about Caribbean. So take it with you when you Rent a Alternative Vacation Casa in Caribbean.

"I was planning a honeymoon to St. Lucia, however, this book actually made me change my mind! It included reports of Dengue Fever, documented poisonous tree sap, stated that the roads and many of the tourist sights are dangerous & rickety, and also boasted polluted rivers and waterfalls. Although I am not entirely sure about the truth of the text, I don't want to risk it and find out that the book was true. I didn't want to give it a 5 for truth telling, however, I didn't want to give it a 1 for scaring me away from the island...so I'll settle for a 3, you decide for yourself!" A wealth of information about Caribbean, a great book if you are thinking about renting a Vocation or Holiday Vocation or Holiday property in Caribbean.

"I found the three or four maps included were not detailed very well. I was hoping to be able get better maps so I would know what to expect and how to get around." Before renting a Vacation House in Caribbean, I would read this book while in Caribbean.

The Rough Guide to Barbados (Miniguides S.) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"Indispensable on the best places to
eat and drink (including the fantastic
Fisherman's Pub in Speightstown) and good
tips on places we wouldn't otherwise have
found, like the Art Gallery in Bridgetown
and the unspoilt east coast beaches." A wealth of information about Caribbean, a great book if you are thinking about renting a Holiday Holiday property in Caribbean.

"Seems that the Rough Guide team are trying to get a book out on every location without regard to their roots. I've always bought the Rough Guide for any holiday destination but this one was just full of lists with little extra value.

Very few useful hints were contained, when you land in Barbados, there are lots of free handouts, maps etc which make this book a waste of time.

Just go to the local bars/rum shops and ask the locals - save the price of the book and buy them a bottle of rum !" If you are thinking about renting a Alternative Holiday Houses in Caribbean, I would buy this book to take with you while in Caribbean.

"Covers all aspects of the island ranging from the coasts, restaruants and entertainments through to the history, culture and traditions. Worthwhile reading material for anyone planning a trip to Barbados - would have been nice however if there was more content aimed at those going on package holidays as opposed to the 'backpacker' audience rough guides seem to cater for. Lacking in basic info such as the costs of local food and drink." Before renting a Holiday Apartment in Caribbean, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Caribbean.

"I bought this because the book touted itself as a way to find those out of the way places that the usual travel books don't tell you about.

I have read this book, and I learned nothing new -- no restaurants, accommodations, attractions, etc. that I hadn't known about already. So in this regard it was a disappointment.

However, it is a good basic primer about things Barbadian. There are, however, some good, detailed maps. It is also a "pocket" book, small in size, so you could easily bring it with you to Barbados and use as a reference.

However, I also read Harry P.'s book on Barbados. It is much more thorough and also pretty portable. In my opinion, if you need one book on Barbados, this one probably wouldn't be it." Before renting a Holiday Casa in Caribbean, I would read this book.

Reviews:

"In this little guide there is everythinh you need to know! get it!" Before renting a Alternative Vacation Villa in Caribbean, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Caribbean.

"Easy to use and a very useful guide to Antigua. Needs updating when it comes to Restaurants and nightlife. Pocket sized and be taken almost anywhere. Recomendations in the book were spot on, one of the best Restaurants is The Home and you'd be crazy not to vist Barbuda." Before renting a Vacation Villa in Caribbean, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Caribbean.

"Having been on the island for a while, the guide became invaluable whist out there and covered much that you could easilly miss without it - from the sites at places such as Nelsons Dockyard to the everyday oddities on Antigua such as service charges and tax, the book has it all. Sadly it losses one star for the restaurant section which is in need of updating somewhat e.g. a trip to St Johns to Shooters tavern might sound a great way of mingling with the locals but don't bother - its long since closed down!" A wealth of information about Caribbean, a great book if you are thinking about renting a Vocation or Holiday Vocation or Holiday property in Caribbean.

"I examined numerous Antigua / Barbuda books in various stores and found this to be the best. It's physical size is tiny at 4" x 5.5" but it contained better information than any of the other books I saw. If you are looking for a book exclusively about Antigua and barbuda I would recommend buying this book. It will prove most useful if you review it before you start planning your vacation." Before renting a Vocation or Holiday House in Caribbean, I would read this book.

"10/10/02 Flew inverness-gatwick-antigua by BA and spent 10 days following the Rough Guide. As this isle has few road signs to speak of the Guide kept us on track and to places we would never have found or been aware of.The gorgeous secluded bay 400m back from Devil"s Bridge was indeed perfect and empty! Eating and drnking could also be relided upon ,Turner"s on Jonson"s point haveing a great view of Montserrat volcano(take bonocs),as well as ex food and svc. Having the guide made this holiday one i will remember, simple as that! Bon voyage." www.HomeIsAway.com great Holiday Casa to Rent in Caribbean.

"My fiancee and I are going to Antigua for our honeymoon. We are staying at an all-inclusive resort, but want to take a day to tour the island. This book was very informative on popular attractions, places to visit, transportation and prices. I was only dissapointed with the fact that there weren't that many photos of the island...but the few that were in there were very pretty! Definitly worth buying if you want a quick, informative overview of the island!" Before renting a Alternative Vacation Apartment in Caribbean, I would read this book while in Caribbean.

The Rough Guide to the Dominican Republic (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"As with all the rough guides this was a fantastic help when we got in country.
They could be easier to navigate though some of the sections seem to have been added as an after thought.
In summary an excellent guide." Relax with this book when on Alternative Holiday in Caribbean. It would be so handy when you Rent a Alternative Holiday Villa in Caribbean.

"We brought this and the Lonely Planet guide, the later generally being more accurate, particularly the maps. This was surprising because the Rough Guide was supposed to be newer. Overall though a good guidebook and enough to get you around the country to see a lot more than an all inclusive hotel and a beach." If you are thinking about renting a Alternative Holiday Cottages in Caribbean, I would buy this book to take with you while in Caribbean.

"If you're going to the Dominican Republic you've got to use this book. I brought four different books with me on my trip to the Dominican Republic and this was the one that I found was by far the most accurate. It had great, honest coverage of the all-inclusive hotels, comprehensive coverage of all the major tourism areas, like Santo Domingo's colonial district, Puerto Plata, Punta Cana, Cabarete etc. But what was most helpful were the terrific recommendations for sights to see that weren't in any other guidebook. My husband and I were able to explore Taino caves that have depictions of Christopher Columbus' three ships. These caves were in the middle of a wilderness national park and no other guide book even knew that they existed. Also by far the best restaurant and bar recommendations. Highly recommended." Before renting a Vacation Apartment in Caribbean, I would read this book.

"I recently travelled to the Dominican Republic and purchased this guide for my trip based on the online reviews.

Although the book is informative and does offer a good selection of transportation and hotel suggestions, it is unnecessarily and generously sprinkled with negative commentary on the country.

On my travels, I had the pleasure of travelling throughout the island, from West to East. It was difficult to find a chapter in this book that did not offer some kind of caustic negative comment on the area being described.

After reading the guide for a few days, I was so distracted by the constant negativity that it overshadowed the content. I hesitantly continued reading it only because I did not have a better one at hand. I would not recommend this particular guide.



" This book has great information about Caribbean. So take it with you when you Rent a Alternative Holiday Property in Caribbean.

"I used this guide to travel in Santo Domingo, Costanza and Samana and found it to be very useful in trip planning. First of all, it helped me to identify Samana and Constanza as great places to visit without the heavy tourism. It was also packed with information on practically every town we passed on the way and offered good hotel and restaurant recommendations. My only criticism is that it seemed the author probably traveled by car and the information on public transportation wasn't quite as thorough as in Lonely Planet guides. However, the sheer volume of other information and the easy to use layout made up for that. Overall, a very solid guide for both pre-trip planning and travel within the DR." A wealth of information about Caribbean, a great book if you are thinking about renting a Holiday Holiday property in Caribbean.
