It's not what you think it is, Jun 26 2007
By Rodrigo Carvalho - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Maldives, 3rd: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)
I bought this guide to help me with my trip to Maldives But it's not good. The informations are not well organized and it's not easy to find what you are looking for. So, for me, it didn't work. The best guides are Eyewitness!!

Decent intro book, Jan 3 2007
By Kevin "kevin02138" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Maldives, 3rd: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)
This book was OK. It was a little confusing and I thought not too well organized. I had to go to the web to find more information. Prices of resorts aren't listed but if you go to the resort's web page you can find that information. Definitely worth it for an introduction to Maldives.
