Frommer's Portable Turks & Caicos

By Alexis Lipsitz Flippin

Book Overview

Frommer's Portable Guides are for the short-term traveler who insists on value and doesn't want to pack a full-size guidebook. The Portables have the same commitment to accuracy and detail as the Frommer's Complete Guides, with the same broad demographic appeal, from budget to deluxe. Frommer's Portable Turks & Caicos, 1st Edition , includes complete information for some of the most popular islands in this region--Providenciales (Provo), Grand Turk, Salt Cay, and more--in one easy-to-carry guide. We currently publish a complete guide to Frommer's Caribbean that includes coverage of the Turks and Caicos islands. This new portable guide will be geared toward travelers visiting only this region and will feature more detailed information on the islands than is found in Frommer's Caribbean . Learn about the best accommodations, from small boutique hotels to large all-inclusive resorts; the best restaurants for fresh fish; the best shops and galleries; the best bars, clubs, and casinos; the best beaches; the best spots for snorkeling and scuba diving--and much more.

Customer Reviews

Good book to have but not a must

This book is helpful to make you aware of what is on the island but lacks the detail that is need to help you find what you are looking for or where you are going. As you travel Turks & Caicos you'll find roads and attractions are poorly marked and mostly not marked at all. You'll become dependent on talking to other travelers for tips on how to get to places and what roads to take. If you find a beach or attraction in the book that interests you, you'll need to get travel directions on Trip Advisor and other such sites on how to get there as this book does NOT provide those details.

Great book!!

I received the book quickly. The book was in good condition. It will be a great help during my trip to Cozumel. I recommended this seller.

Good Product, But Not Really Needed for a Cruise

I used the travel guide some, but for a cruise going to the island of Grand Turk this is not really needed as that island is small and you are mostly limited to the Cruise Terminal and the shore excursions from the cruise ship.

Great info

We loved the book. Great info included. I only wish a better map was included.

A wealth of information!

This small, travel-sized book contains everything you need to know, but wouldn't think to ask! Especially helpful were the restaurant reviews and the information on how to get around the island. A must-have if it is your first visit to Turks and Caicos.
