Good Reference. Needs Updating. October 24, 2008
It's a good addition to your library but these types of books need to be updated more regularly as tips are given that are no longer valid (i.e., "..get Club Caribe Card at their web-site to save $$$"...) but web-site no longer exists, some stuff like that. Still, if you've never been to Coz, it's a another good tool for your learning belt.
good information May 8, 2007

I bought this book because I have a trip planned to Cozumel in a few months. And as others have found, you cannot find a book dedicated solely to Cozumel, just a chapter or two, so this book has great info. However, I was disappointed that there were no color pictures or more of them! Pictures would be much more helpful, especially when listing beaches. All-around good buy, though.
The Only Book on Cozumel We Found March 18, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Great reference for the island of Cozumel with a lot of detailed hints (reads like someone's diary). And as far as we've found, the author is right: Cozumel is usually a small blip in books dedicated almost solely to Cancun (or the entire Yucatan Peninsula). If you're spending more than one day on the island, definitely worth it.
Still Worth Getting Great Book February 27, 2006

I tend to disagree with the most recent review of this book. I have been a LONG TIME part time resident of the Island, since 1987. I purchased this book for use by my guests, and have actually used it myself. I agree there are a few editorial errors, and some just barely out of date information, but 95%% of this book is valuable information, with out of the way dining options, that would seldom be found on the internet, and small shops who also do not find their way to the internet or printed guidebooks. Guidebooks are a difficult thing to keep current to the minute, as by the time it prints there are already changes. Used in conjuction with the Cozumel Can Do map, this is a terriffic resource.
 Full of factual errors February 26, 2006

I have been a Cozumel resident for five years. I had the opportunity to view this guide book last week for the first time. While it appears to those who are unfamiliar with the island as a wonderful resource, buyer beware. There are numerous errors in the book which include but are not limited to: incorrect phone numbers, website addresses, e-mail addresses, improper spellings of establishments, and establishments that no longer exist...one in particular has not existed in over five years!
The author has good intentions, but she did not do her homework and did not do a thorough fact check before publishing this book.
