Customer Reviews

Great resource book!

I bought this when it first came out and found it really helpful, especially in some of the more unusual budget suggestions like the Guavaberry Spring Bay Vacation Homes on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. Then when the author revised this book in "Tropical Family Vacations" I picked up a copy of that book and have used it instead since resorts in the Caribbean seem to change so frequently. I still refer to this earlier book for its more extensive introductions on each island. I consider it an excellent book, but would refer readers who want more current info to the updated book instead.
