Great guidebook for the Southwest

I am a fan of Fodor's guides and find them to be reliable guidebooks. One caveat - the Southwest is a very large area. The locations covered in the book are covered well, but some locations are not included due to the fact that the book covers 4 states. It's very useful for someone doing a road tour covering a large area as we did, driving from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, to Mesa Verde and then Moab, Utah. The one improvement is that I wish that the local maps would include the neighborhood name as the descriptions in both lodging and restaurants will frequently include the name of the neighborhood.

Informative and easy reading.

I'll start out by saying I enjoy reading Fodor's line of travel books. This one, like the others published is informative and easy to read. Though, it's size is a bit on the light side. There are a lot more things to do and places to stay in the Keys than this book covers, but it is a good start. As always, I enjoy the ratings and the comments Fodor's books provide.

Fodor's In Focus Florida Keys

This is a very good, comprehensive guidebook to the Florida Keys. I have been there on many occasions, most recently 6 years ago and was looking for some updated information. It seems to cover all the pertinent spots and more and is pretty detailed in the information. i would definitely recommend this for first-timers to the keys and also veteran "conchs" since the restaurant sections are extensive and current.

Good Guide to a Strange Place

Of all the major guidebooks, Fodor's "Florida Keys" is one of the best of the current offerings. This guide is excerpted from "Fodor's Florida," and is just the thing for those visiting, mostly, Key West, and the other keys along that shimmering chain of islands. The reviews of inns, restaurants, and attractions are fair, detailed, and honestly critical. Sixty of the 208 pages are devoted to Key West and the Dry Tortugas. The section covering day sails, schooner trips, snorkeling, and kayaking options in Key West is, however, surprisingly thin -- Danger Charters and popular day trips aboard the catamarans Fury and Sebago aren't even mentioned. Decent maps are included, but there are no photographs (I like photographs). Marsh Muirhead - author of "Key West Explained - a guide for the traveler."
