Product Description
In addition to extensive coverage of the shiny north-end new town and the stucco-and-tile old town, the updated Puerto Vallarta Handbook offers travelers all the tools they need for accessible daytrips from sun- drenched Puerto Vallarta. The author emphasizes the region's diversity, from the rustic retreats of the Bay of Banderas and the hidden villages of the Cuale Mountains to the orchard-swathed plains of the northern Nayarit Coast and the pine forests of the southern coast of Jalisco. Bruce Whipperman gives readers a sense of place, provides detail about locations scarcely mentioned in other guides, and offers an insider's view of one of the most intriguing regions of Mexico.

5 out of 5 stars Moon Travel Books the reference standard   March 3, 2005

Every Moon Travel book I have purchased has been far and away the best travel book for the region. Anyone who has traveled in Mexico knows that restaurants and hotels change a lot in one year. The fifth edition of this book, copyrite Nov 2003 is as good as it gets. I also had the Frommers and AAA guide with me for 8 days of driving in and around Puerto Vallarta and the only book I needed was the Moon book.


4 out of 5 stars A great travel book   February 10, 2001
11 out of 12 found this review helpful

We just returned from a two week vacation in Mexico, where we travelled from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta using the Bruce Whipperman handbook as our guide. The book, which is compact in size, is packed with useful and specific information that made our trip easy and enjoyable. We especially appreciated the back-road tips.


2 out of 5 stars Ok but not very modern book   May 8, 2001
17 out of 19 found this review helpful

Book was not well written nor was it well thought out. It was difficult to access specific information (such as hotels and restaurants). The author also recommended the Hard Rock Cafe--which made me wary of any other recommendation he had! I'd recommend the Frommers Guide to Mexico for a better picture of Puerto Vallarta and Discover Puerto Vallarta for the pictures and additional information.


2 out of 5 stars Rehash of Moon Handbooks Pacific Mexico   April 30, 2001

If you want to know about more than just the Puerto Vallarta area buy the Pacific Mexico Handbook. Better than 80% of the content of the Puerto Vallart Handbook is included as well as information of the other Pacific destinations. If you do not plan to venture more than 25 - 50 miles from Puerto Vallarta this book adds no additional value.

Absolutly positively the worst travel guide I have ever read!!! Don't waste your money. The only thing that surpases what it doesn't include, is what it does include. Hardly anything of value! This book is a waste of a perfectly good tree.
