- Insider advice on what to see and do on your trip to Mexico's Central Pacific Coast region, from the golden beaches and jungle-studded mountains of Puerto Vallarta to the vast palm groves and legendary sportfishing of Manzanillo. Plus tips on navigating the region's lovely but less-traveled corners, like the tranquil surfing hub of Sayulita and the secluded white-sand beaches and magnificent coral reefs of Punta Mita.
- Where to find the tastiest tortas ahogadas (pork sandwiches) in Guadalajara, the most savory seviche in Sayulita, and the finest tequila bars in Puerto Vallarta.
- Tips on where to find the best shopping and what to bring home as a souvenir, from handmade ceramics and glassware from Guadalajara to exquisite Huichol Indian art from Puerto Vallarta.
- A chapter on useful Spanish phrases will have you ordering cervezas in a nanosecond.
- Opinionated reviews. No bland descriptions and lukewarm recommendations. Our expert writers are passionate about their destinations—they tell it like it is in an engaging and helpful way.
- Exact prices listed for every establishment and activity—no other guides offer such detailed, candid reviews of hotels and restaurants. We include the very best, but also emphasize moderately priced choices for real people.

As an overview of a large area, it's alright. We like detailed information, which the size of this book doesn't allow for.

Lacking inside info

The guide seems like a hack job put together quickly. There's too much time wasted on details and questions you can easily find answers to online these days, such as transportation and lodging. I was looking for inside scoop on what to see, what to do, where to eat, and history, but I didn't find that.

I was nto impressed with this book at all. I felt like the book lacked details and there were no pictures in the book..not even black and white books. I bought this for tips and ideas on what to do on vacation and I dont feel that it delivered.

Kindle version not best choice

I'm learning that some books are still better in a paper format and travel guides may be in that category. I have not mastered the art of flipping back and forth to different sections, maps and reference areas in an E-book. So I found trying to use a portable travel e-book/guide frustrating. I wound up buying a paperback book which I highlighted and for quick reference, dotted with post-it notes in my favorite or needed sections.
