a great find!

as usual with the unofficial guides, another excellent source of info. I gathered enough info in deciding that yes, we can visit HI, even on a budget, and still have a great time. And the best part? there is so much to see and do, a second visit would be warranted.

Best Hawaii Guidebook--Goodbye Fodor's, Frommer's, Etc.

Great organization to a potentially complex topic. Most comprehensive evaluations of hotels, restaurants, nightlife, beaches, and attractions of any of the usual guidebooks. Attraction evaluations and descriptions provide accurate age appeal breakouts to aid in evaluating attraction's overall family appeal. I love this series and rely on its accuracy. It rightfully leaves the other general Hawaii guidebooks in the dust. If you are going to buy one guidebook make it this one!
