Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Author doesn't know what he's talking about IMO
With the recent news about travel book writers copying from others and not really knowing the places they write about, this is one in my opinion. Example, based on the recommendation saying Rum Point was one of the best snorkeling spots with rainbow hued fish, my wife and I took a day from our time on 7 Mile Beach and drove there (long drive on the island). The beach itself was fine, no better than the beach we left, but the snorkeling was awful. I gave up trying to find the good spot myself and ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Hell's not all THAT bad !
Very helpful guide on our recent visit, but THREE warnings that Hell is not worth the trip? It wasn't THAT bad, at least it's FREE, compared with $50 or $75 for the Turtle Farm.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cayman overview
This seems to be the best overview of visiting the Caymans that I could find out there. It does do a good job hitting all the major highlights. Good review of restaurants. The reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is in my opinion Frommer's could have included better maps and perhaps photos.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Guide to the Cayman's
This little guide book is a good item to have if you have never traveled to the Cayman Islands before. It is a bit outdated but still a good back up. Don't atke all the recommendations to heart. They tell you to skip "Hell" the end of the island but I think the short trip is worth it, but the airport stores accually have better T shirts than can be had on site.
Beware: The Caymans are VERY expensive to visit and with the US dollar only being worth .75 to each Cayman dollar, your money does not ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pre-Trip Review
We love the book so far. Really helps us to plan when to go, what our best options are, and how to go about arranging the best plans. Great compact size, but still full of details about accommodations, diving, snorkeling, and transportation. I'd get a Frommer's Compact Guide to every place we visit if I could. My wife insists on Eyewitness Guides whenever possible, because of the incredible photos that help us know what we want to see, but this Frommer's book tells us how to practically do those things.
