Who WRITES these things??? "Get involved in a dance-crew and have a dance off! Grind with total strangers in a foreign country!" I need a guidebook written by someone who is there to see the country (Introvert's Guide? Parent's Guide?) That said, this gave us a good overview of what is available in what regions, which is not found so easily on the internet. It had us dismiss the idea of renting a car (driving on the other side of the road.) It's useful enough, but I wish we'd just checked it out from a library.
I wanted a guide to Jamaica. This will give the reader an over-view of Jamaica. This was the most current publication but not complete. I would have liked to have had listings of best places for sightseeing and a list for avoiding certain sites.
This book covered most of the information that I was looking for in a travel guide. It broke it down into the different areas on the island which was of great help to me in determining where I wanted to stay. The one thing they could have touched on a bit more would be the all-inclusive resorts since these abound on the island and are a major determining factor when planning a vacation to Jamaica. It would have been nice to see them broken down by rating, which has more inclusive items, better accommodations, and better access. Etc.
This had really good specific tips in it and was better than the other travel guides. It became the coveted book, and when I left I bought a copy of it as a wedding present for my friends who moved to Kingston!
For 30 years, since Lonely Planet first came out, I have travelled the world on a shoestring using Lonely Planet Guides. By tipping you off on the cheapest accommodation, that you might otherwise miss, I felt the Lonely Planet books paid for themselves. However, this 2011 Lonely Planet edition (by Karlin and Kaminski) seems to largely only list the higher end accommodation. When I visit Jamaica I am also going to bring my earlier 2001 Jamaica, Lonely Planet edition (by Michael Read) which is more for budget travelers, like me. This 2011 edition is more for the wealthy.
Purchased this book for a trip to Jamaica. Proved to be a handy companion whilst meandering and exploring the taxi-laden hills of Jamaica. Of course...step of the path whenever possible!!!Wonderful country. Amazing people. Unforgettable memories!!! Yeh MON!!! Definitely.
Unfortunately, I did not like this guide as well as I expected to. The photos are difficult to view on a black and white kindle, and I did not find the information in the book very helpful during my trip to Jamaica.
I had no idea Jamaica has the highest murder rate outside a war zone - the info on personal safety was invaluable!
