Don't Go To The Maya Riviera Without This Book
It went with us to Quintana Roo and we used it for shopping in Playa del Carmen, as well as selecting local tours. Before our first visit to The Riviera Maya over Christmas and New Year's of 2006 - 07, we ordered this book from Amazon and it became the focus of our research. We checked out some of the hotels and restaurants and found them exactly as represented. The book is so accurate that we have trusted the comments enough to use it for our reservation deep in remote Sian Ka'an in January of 2008. Inspired by photos and comments, our son and his wife are also visiting the Mayan Riviera in January of 2008. The first thing we did is send them this book. .

A pretty good guide with good background
Where the Can-Do gave us pretty great information in summary and map format, with lots of efficient descriptions and great recommendations, this guide is very good for research in advance. Recently used this guide in concert with the Can-Do map/guide. Restaurants and destinations are well described and written, with good background for some of the historical sites. Can't attest too much for the accuracy of many of the resort descriptions since we had researched our accomodations otherwise.

It did help us quickly locate a sports bar in Playa open on Christmas day with a satellite feed of a key football game we wanted to see. Thanks!

Worth carrying along with you everyday (my ultimate test!), along with the Can-Do map.

user-friendly guide to the region
A well organized format and engaging side bars made it a pleasure to read. A useful travel guide for not only planning a trip to Playa del Carmen, but I felt compelled to bring it along with me for last-minute detours. History and local colloquialisms an added bonus. .
