"An excellent choice for people who want everything under one cover." - Washington Post When you're headed to a resort destination, you need different information than most travel guides can provide. Sure, you want to know about all the sights, great restaurants, and cool places to stay--but you also need detailed information on activities and sports, how to rent a condo, and which is the best grocery store to stock up on picnic supplies. Fodor's Pocket guides delivers all this and more in a convenient pocket-size book. All the basics you need to help you decide what to see and do. Smart contacts and detailed practical information, including the scoop on public transportation, local holidays, what to pack and more. Great choices for dining and lodging in every price range. Great recommendations for shopping nightlife, outdoor, activities, and essential side trips. Up-to-the-minute info on local celebrities and traditions make you feel like an insider. "Perfect Days and Nights" itineraries make planning (even a rainy day) fun. Detailed maps with sights, restaurants, night spots, and hotels clearly marked.
I checked this book out at the library and brought it with me to Aruba recently. I did not notice any inaccuracies in its information. A few photos (color or b/w) would make the book a tad more interesting. Otherwise, it's solid.
Hits the mark

You are going to Aruba. You want some reference material. Let's face it, your choices for books are limited. For the price, the book does what it promises. It provides a great overview of where to stay, where to eat, where to beach, where to gamble and what to do while you are on the island. And this thing is compact, it will easily fit in your back pocket. Four stars because I feel they are missing some of the better places to eat on the island (Madame Jeanette's, Flying Fishbone). Bon Bini!
