Customer Reviews
Information not up to date
As the previous reviewer said, the book is written as if the devastating hurricane of 2005 never happened, even though it is copyright 2007. We bought it for our trip to Cancun but you cannot use it reliably for hotels, beaches, restaurants, scuba/snorkeling since many of these areas were destroyed.
It is still useful for excursions as these were not as hard hit. By the way, we also had Frommer's Portable Cancun copyright 2006 and it, too, was not updated.
Still helpful, but not a gold standard. Call ahead and look for online blogs/reviews that are more updated.
And quite frankly, shame on Fodor's for publishing something in 2007 that doesn't account for the altering events of 2005.
Maddeningly Out of Date Post Hurricane Wilma - Frommer's Was Much Better Informed!
It took a lot of chutzpah to publish this guide without even a cursory fact-checking on the state of Cancun post Hurricane Wilma. Some of the restaurants outlined in the book haven't been open since the hurricane and WON'T be reopening, which any hotel concierge could have told the editors. Furthermore, with beach, diving and snorkeling as key activities of this destination, not including well-researched updates on the main ones post Wilma was irresponsible. Frommer's had much more up-to-date information. (FYI, there's plenty to do in Cancun, and quite a healthy recovery post hurricane - Fodor's just doesn't know what).
