Frommer's is the best
Oct 5 2012
By June
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I wouldn't go on any trip without reading Frommer's travel books about my destination first. They are the best. By reading the Frommers, I don't miss any "must see" places, I won't end up in an area that I shouldn't be in, I eat in the recommended places, and stay in safe, clean and great hotels. I also like the fact that they give a range of the cost of each restaurante, hotel or sight seeing place. This sure helps in planning a trip. I try to have my itinerary set prior to leaving on my trip just from reading Frommers, however, there is always flexibility in the itinerary. I have been reading Frommers since the 80's and recommend it to my traveling friends and families.

Great overview of all islands
Dec 22 2012

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a fairly comprehensive and updated travel guide for the Hawaiian islands. My husband and I are leaving in four days for our first trip to HI and the book has helped us plan our visit.
The main downside is that we are only going to 2 islands and it's a hefty sized book to haul along when a good portion of the book is not applicable for this trip. In spite of its bulk, the book obviously could not list every lodging and restaurant option, so I'd suggest using Tripadvisor.com as an adjunct for information.
I strongly recommend the book, particularly to first-time travelers who are unfamiliar with HI.

Kindle Edition of This Guide Makes for Easy Traveling Info

Although I hated to do it, I bought both hard copy and Kindle versions of this Frommer's guide, the first because I find it best to page through a book to find what I want and the second to lighten my load and still have everything at my fingertips while traveling. On my iPad, I found the guide very easy to navigate using the Kindle app; there's no way I would have used this on my Kindle Touch, however, because of the interface and black-and-white e-ink. (The Kindle Fire and other tablets probably also make good use of the format.) The color photos in both versions are beautiful.
As for content, the guide was very good at directing me to visit places I wouldn't have otherwise considered or known about. It covers all the islands, but, as a result, doesn't treat any in depth, although I was still surprised by how much information the guide contained about each. (If you plan to visit only one Hawaiian island, you're much better off getting a guide book that focuses solely on it.) It's always fun to see how many "Best Experiences" I can check off on my vacation, and the suggestions are usually spot on. I used two hotels suggestions, one in Waikiki and one on the Big Island, and both were memorable even though they were in different price ranges. Even the restaurant suggestions, usually a weak spot in guides, were good, although I cross-checked our eventual choices with TripAdvisor and Yelp.
This guide provides a solid overview of all the Hawaiian islands and their differences, activities, and sights.
