We had a wonderful vacation usiing this guide book. Unlike another one that starts with "F", the Alive guide is not full of upfront stuff that nobody reads. It gets right to the point in telling what hotels have to offer, the best places to eat (it arranges them by cuisine and gives sample dishes) and devotes many pages to shopping -- in the malls as well as downtown. We got some good bargains as a result. We'll go back again, maybe this time to Cozumel or some of the other places this guide has discovered.

(From Planeta.com Journal) This is a recommended title, by the Conords whose Adventure Guide to the Yucatan is a favorite. Descriptions are lively and the info first-rate.
Most in-depth, intelligent and helpful guide to Cancun
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
What a joy after reading some of the other guides to Cancun! This book covers almost everything, and is obviously written by someone with an intimate familiarity with the region. It offers helpful hints on each page, rather than just pointing out lists of places to visit (although it does this also). The Mexican to U.S. clothing size conversion chart is particularly helpful. The book dedicates 12 pages to shopping in Cancun, a topic restricted to 3/4 page in the other guidebook I purchased at the same time (and sent back). The coverage of places to stay, places to eat, and what to do is very objective and frank, unlike some of the guides which seem to be produced by the local chamber of commerce. As a lover of travel (and travel guides), I can't say enough about this one - it's as good a guide to a city as I have read.
A Great Guidebook!

I couldn't have asked for a more reliable guide to the hotels, restaurants, and sights in Cancun. The information helped make our vacation the best we've ever had -- and saved us money too. Next year, we're taking this book and trying Cozumel!
A very informative guide with useful information

I used this book as a guide to Cancun and it was great. I would recommend this book, especially to everyone going to Cancun for the first time like me! It covers everything.
