Decent recommendations. A lot of surfing recommendations... if that's what your into. Only a third of the book is dedicated to PV. Rest of it covers Pacific Mexico (Mazatlan, Manzanillo, etc.)I liked Fodor's PV 2007 better. Especially if you are going to PV and not those other destinations covered by Lonely Planet. Fodor's has a lot more content concerning PV, and is easy to use and well laid out. Not up to LP standards.   February 28, 2008 Wade Smith (Stony Brook, NY USA) 10 out of 10 found this review helpful I usually love the Lonely Planet series, but this book is just a listing of restaurants and hotels along the Mexican coast. There is no information about day trips away from the major cities. A friend of mine pointed out that the cover says it all - that picture could have been taken anywhere! So how did this guide earn two stars instead of one? The history section, as usual, is very good, as is the general travel information for Mexico (information about driving and using phones, etc). This book is better than not having a travel guide, but I was really happy to have a copy of Moon Puerto Vallarta: Including the Nayarit and Jalisco Coasts (Moon Handbooks) as well. That had excellent information about small towns and other interesting day trips within a few hours of PV. I have a number of LP guides, but for Mexico the Moon series looks to be tops largely because the author (Whipperman) has spent the last 20 years traveling full time in Mexico, and seems to enjoy out-of-the-way places. Misleading Title   November 11, 2009 E. Wilson (San Francisco, CA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful The title should be "Pacific Mexican Coast, including Puerto Vallarta". I wanted a guide for PUERTO VALLARTA, but 80% of this book is written for other parts of the coast so it isn't worth the cost for me. I will be returning it and buying the Fodors that seems more honestly focused on Puerto Vallarta. Lonely Planet should be more accurate. I will be a bit more weary before buying their guides in the future. Misleading Title   November 11, 2009 E.
