Checkout what I wrote in my spanish blog: http://lunairereadings.blogspot.com/2...

12/04/2011: Just read the new edition of this; and didn't find any really interesting or even accurate: the prices are totally off the reality check; and that Captain Erik Hernandez Garcia so tenderly described in the book turned out to be a wannabe clown that kept making fun of me when I tried to ask him for the trips that he supposedly offers to Mona and Desecheo. This book is beautiful; but the reality in the island is a total disappointment :-(

Esta gu��a de viaje no aporta demasiadas cosas nuevas comparada con las dem��s que he le��do. Muestra lo obvio: la belleza de los paisajes; la gente; la cultura estampada en la arquitectura y los rostros de la gente; pero realmente no le encontr�� profundidad. Sin embargo cualquier cosa que emerge de un estrecho contacto con la isla; su mar y su gente ; es una obra que vale la pena disfrutar.

I had a last minute trip to Puerto Rico that I bought this book for. Mainly because of the pictures, maps, and the fact that it had close to 100 extra pages that the other travel books I was looking at.
I found this to be very informative, with lots of history, fun facts, and good tips on places to go. I wish my trip was longer so I could have seen more - the descriptions were pretty great, and the locals had a lot of the same recommendations.

Starting to get a bit old but the best guide we were able to find from our local library. Could use some more detailed maps.
