A nice enough travel guide, mainly because it has lots of lovely photos, a decent map, and some handy hints on various locations in the Cancun and Yucatan area as well as local infomation so you can get an idea of things.

You don't really need a travel book for Mexico. But I love to buy a version of the Eyewitness series for each place I visit.

[Sarah]

Wonderful travel guide w/ beautiful photographs.

[Katie]

Really easy to read travel guide, and great advice. Except we went to one restaurant they recommended, and it was the worst one we went to.

[Jason]

Perfect guide for our purposes as a family staying in Puerto Morelos but wanting to see some of the real Mexico, do some activities and generally feel the vibe.
