Excellent Coverage of Culebra
This book provides the best coverage of any book in print. I used this book in planning a recent trip to Culebra, PR. If you plan on travelling to Culebra or Vieques, don't leave home without it. Ths book also provides a good history of the islands as well. Makes your trip a much richer experience.

Lonely Planet Puerto Rico-for pre trip only
This Lonely PLanet Puerto Rico Book has some information in it that will be helpful to a first timer. . . . but I would not try to use it as a guide once you arrive. I was expecting to use the maps included in this book and they were absolutley out of date. . . . and did not include many important roads and routes on it's maps. This is my biggest complaint about it. . because I bought it thinking it was a good all around hand book especially for the maps and it just plain wasn't. It did however offer insights to general travel issues like what to see or local info. . . . and I must admit that Puerto Rico grows as we read this. and maybe it out grew this book . . but. . . still. . . I must ask. . . how does Lonely Planet expect us to find these things they mention without good and up to date maps to go along ????? .

Good, but not accurately updated
I agree with previous reviewers about this edition - some of the information is not accurate and was not updated. I just reviewed Let's Go PR and Explore PR by Harry Pariser and returned from PR a few days ago. But this might be because the publication year is 2002. I really liked Let's Go - this had by far, the best and most comprehensive info on lodging, eats, and getting around. I would not use Explore PR - this is not useful at all. I would say Let's Go had mostly everything that Lonely planet PR did - except for maybe the background info on culture, history etc. I will consider travelling with both a Lonely planet and a let's go in the future. If you have to choose one book on PR, I would buy Let's Go. If you can take a second, bring the Lonely Planet PR. Also visit Culebra!.
