Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Puerto Vallarta & Pacific Mexico (Regional Guide)
Book Review: Not up to LP standards.
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
