Customer Reviews

Frequent Cruiser

Without a doubt this is one of the most beautifully illustrated resort guides in existence. The information is extremely valuable to any traveler seeking out a luxury resort. Not only are the resorts facilities, dining options, sport facilities and history described in great detail, but the book includes ratings for such categories as room comfort, dining, service,sport facilities,outside grounds,etc. I read some of the other reviews, and any review dated prior to 2007 is not valid because it refers to other editions, not the coffee-table style edition that is the latest.

This was one of the most beautifully illustrated and informative books I have ever read covering luxury resorts. It was most helpful to have a third party describe these properties and provide ratings in eleven essential categories. GH, Frequent Traveler

Good, but out of date

It's a good book, but some data about cruise lines and ships are out of date. The info about cruise ships are poor (it could be more complete and organized as in Berlitz guide). This guide is better for passenger asking for info about destinations (but the info on Brazil is also poor - there's no reference to important destinations as Búzios, Ilhabela, Florianopolis, Fortaleza, Recife, Natal and the paradise islands of Fernando de Noronha).
