Customer Reviews

THE book for those who truly appreciate the real caribbean

For me (and others who really travel the caribbean) this is the book!! These are the very best places to stay with excellent commentary , room suggestions, descriptions etc. I have traveled to almost all of the suggestions and Ian is right on the money. Do NOT buy this book if you like all inclusives with lots of party games - it is not for you. This is an escapist manual. I would trust his suggestions for the trip of a lifetime - everytime! I have both copies and it is obvious the new edition was not just a rehash - everything is updated. Worth every penny and more!

The Caribbean awaits for romance!

What a WONDERFUL guide to the Caribbean!! This specialized Frommer's Guide is not the usual travel book ... it delivers the romance part of the equation, as promised. Not only are the descriptions detailed enough to make some intelligent choices, the overall organization of the book is fantastic. And, the author's first-hand experience, over decades - not a few months, makes this a must have resource. I can't imagine going to the Caribbean without this in my bag!

Don't buy this book if you don't want to travel

This book will seduce you into quickly booking your next vacation. It is simply GREAT! Lots of pricey suggestions, but several less-expensive gems too. Buy it, and you will be travelling soon.

Most unique and desciptive source for Caribbean Getaways!

Ian describes in detail the most romatic inns, hotels and getaways available in the Caribbean. He writes the information you REALLY want to know before you travel...location of the room, the activities not to miss, what to expect and special details which set apart his book from all the rest. I read this book cover to cover and marked all the places I wanted to travel based on his recommendation. After I traveled to the first location on my honeymoon (it was everything I pictured it to be, based on his description) I then put it to the test and traveled once again to a location I read about in the book. Again, I was impressed at the detail he was able to capture within the pages.I plan to travel to each of the resorts he rates highly and would recommend to any reader that enjoys the Caribbean to pick up this book and you won't be disappointed. In fact, even if you don't step foot out of the privacy of your our home, after reading this book, you will feel as if you have traveled to some of the most amazing Hideaways in the Caribbean.
