This book did provide us with good basic ideas about what to do and see, where to dine, where to stay. THAT SAID, it provided some info that was outdated by two years, including info about the hotel where we ended up staying and about a national holiday that was to take place in June when we were there that has not been a national holiday since 2008...so be warned!

Frommer's is my usual go-to for travel books and this is no exception.The book starts out with approx 10 pages of glossy photos that make you ready to jump on the next plane headed East.I have never been to Bermuda but have traveled extensively and am looking forward to a trip in May.The book is broken out into sections:
1. Maps - limited high-level without much detail. I think we'd probably want a better map, but since there's no such thing as rental cars in Bermuda maybe we won't need one...
2. The Best of Bermuda (best beaches, dive sites, golf courses, places to stay for honeymooners... for families, best restaurants, etc.)
3. Bermuda in Depth - covering history, art and architecture, and 'locals' type information
4. Planning your trip - when to go, entry requirements, getting around (no rental cars!), money, costs, calendar of events
5.6.7... Suggested Itineraries, where to stay, where to dine, seeing the sights, shopping, club scene, and an index.
After cross-referencing with a few other books, this one will be our companion for the trip.It covers everything and is fairly compact and light.The info appears up-to-date and describes in detail our hotel, close beaches, how to get around, what to do, eating etc.I imagine it will provide equally pertinent information to most any traveler headed that way so I consider this a valuable resource in planning a great vacation!
