 Frommer's Mexico books are the best! April 5, 2000
21 out of 25 found this review helpful
I've used the big Frommer's Mexico book countless times, but this small book is a must for anyone going to the Pacific Coast. The author hails from Puerto Vallarta, and her love for the town shows. Her dining reviews are great, and took me to some great "finds." My only suggestion would be more hotel reviews! Great job overall.

On the plus side, this book is well-organized, easy to read, and up-to-date. However, for a book with only three cities to cover, it's rather skimpy on useful information. For example, for Puerto Vallara, it has only two hotels listed in the Marina area, ONE hotel listed for the popular northern "hotel zone," three hotels listed in the downtown area (one of which has only 13 units), and three hotels in the southern "hotel zone" (one of which has only 7 units). It completely leaves out many nice and popular hotels, incldinng the "Krystal," "Sheraton Buganvilias", "Buenaventura," and "Jolla de Mismaloya." The restaurant section is also unreasonably skimpy, especially for someone who plans to stay there a week or more. Although I understand that the guide is supposed to be "Portable," there certainly seemed to be other information in the book which probably would interst a smaller number of people. For example, it would seem unlikely that a person wanting only information on Jalisco and Colima states would drive to this area, yet there's a large section dealing with this. Likewise, information on all the embassies (New Zealand, etc.) in Mexico City is probably less useful that more restaurant and hotel choices in Puerto Vallarta.
Lacking in Maps and Hotel Information August 26, 2003

I found this a well written book that captured the feel of Puerto Vallarta and helpul for dining, shopping and background information. However the maps were inadequate and the hotel information very skimpy. I realise that it is a compact book but it should have a couple of detailed one or two page maps of the entire area showing road names. Unfortunately there are no maps in print to supplement the tiny vague maps in this book.
