The major differance between this guide book and many others I have read is reflected in the layout of the text. You may choose to read it as you would a book, or to use the index to focus only on those areas, or activites, you are interested in. You do not feel as if you walked in half-way through a movie, and it is objective enough, and well enough written so that you might actually go back and read the whole thing anyway!Good objective reviews of the avaialble tourist activites, helicopter rides, horse back riding, etc., but also excellent advice and counsel about what you may do if you love to explore on your own. Great maps and graphics round out the book. A great place to go if you are planning a vacation in paradise.
