Customer Reviews

should have
This is ok as far as it goes, but I do not equate "best" with glossy or expensive. I should have looked for a book listiing the most rustic or obscure resorts which nevertheless provide good meals and sports opportunities.

Not enough criticism
This book offers a lot of information about the accomodations available at the resorts. Hoewever, there are NO pictures and there is virtually no criticism about any aspect of any resort. Also, the resorts are not ranked 1-100 as the title would imply, but instead are categorized by continent. Overall, you should just use a search engine and save yourself the cost of this book.

100 Best All- Inclusive resorts of the world
Book is fair. It is broken down into chapters-North America, Carribean, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. Introduction explains what an all inclusive resort is and what should be covered. The descriptions of each resort and the contact information is excellent and very detailed. I really wish there were more pictures for you to get a feel forn the resorts.
