One book for the traveller who likes comfort

I write this on my return from my first trip to Mexico. What I liked most about this book is that each suggestion was exactly as it was described - eg if a hotel was luxurious, it was; if an attraction was not rated with a "must see" star, it wasn't a "Must-see". The other book brought was a Lonely Planet guide - also very helpful, but generally for a slightly more roughing-it traveller. The safety tips were also spot on, and the photos make you want to visit many more places than you have originally planned for! I think if you are a midscale traveler, this is the right book for you.

Better each year

Frommer's Mexico improves with each passing year. The descriptions are ever-more complete and the writing sharp. One of the authors even has a sense of humor. If you take one book on your trip to Mexico, this should be it.

The one book for Mexico.

I've been travelling in Mexico upwards of 30 years, have seen all of the guide books, and in my opinion, Frommer's is the best. You really don't need another guide book for Mexico. Here's why:Terrific walking guides. Excellent choice of restaurants in all price ranges. Ditto, hotels. Very good historical information. Although there is so much to see in Mexico, if you just follow the recommendations in this guide, you'll experience the best that Mexico has to offer.And, I would recommend picking up the Mexico City book as well if you're planning to spend a lot of time in the capital.
