Moon Cuba Provides in-depth information we Havana and Complete coverage Of The island - tip to tip. CommentsChae Bolick says... A great beginning read for planning a trip over the next few months. The guide is engaging and appears to be the least biased of Cuba travel guides. The writers' voice appears to be geared more toward the American then European Westerner., ie., the author's description of Veradero Beach area as a Cancun for Europeans is on point, especially after seeing pictures of the area on various travel websites. It's a thick book and I'm hoping to not have to bring it with me to Cuba as I plan to travel light. Plan on Xeroxing pages and marking places of interest. The Explore Cuba Itineraries at the beginning of book were helpful. Posted on February 25, 2011 Porsha Areias says... I think it could have ranked the places with 1 to 5 stars so u can know where to read without loosing time. good maps and history Posted on February 26, 2011 Tommy Barrack says... I've literally been around the world backpacking with Lonely Planet guides and like them a lot for budget travel. This is my first experience with Moon and I like this one better. I also ordered the Lonely Planet Cuba guide at the same time and they were released in October and November, '06 so they're comparable in that sense. The Moon is a little heavier which is a consideration if you're traveling light, but that's not insurmountable. Posted on February 27, 2011 Exie Manzanero says... This up to date and concise travel guide covers absolutely everything you would need to know about Cuba- the poeple,economy,goverenment,where to go ,what to see and how to do everything and what not to do.Unbelievably complete in every way.Forget Fodors or Frommers-this is all you will need. J Baillie, USA. Posted on March 2, 2011 Dorthey Rosson says... This guide contains everything you could ever want to know about Cuba.Unfortunately it was published in 2006, so the times, dates, prices, etc., listed are somewhat unreliable.There is a wealth of information in this guide (over 600 pages) -- I found the section in the back on Cuban history, politics, lifestyle and culture particularly insightful.If you are backpacking, leave this volume at home, but buy it anyway and read it before you go.If you have room for it, take it! I had 4 guides (Lonely Planet, Frommers, Rough Guide and this one) and this had the most interesting information (beyond where to go, what to do) in terms of background information and interesting tidbits. Posted on March 2, 2011 Elfriede Siegler says... Very interesting book all about Cuba and we wish we had it before we visited in 2009. It has so much information I just love reading it. We enjoyed visiting Cuba and found 2 weeks not long enough. We will return one day and this book gives us a lot more information before our next holiday. It is a must to read for either pleasure or for visiting the country. Gaynor Stevens - Adelaide, South Australia Posted on March 4, 2011 Ninfa Schiffert says... I bought both the Moon Handbook (Christopher Baker, 4th ed.) and the Lonely Planet guide (Sainsbury, 4th ed.). I haven't been to Cuba, but the Moon guide is a pleasure to read, it's nearly twice the length of the Lonely Planet guide, the maps are better, it goes into more depth on places and also on the general history, the photos are better, etc. Posted on March 4, 2011 Hermine Dallesandro says... I heard this author interviewed recently by Rick Steves and his unbridled enthusiasm for Cuba (as it is today) really tempted me to go.His book gives advice about places to see if you only have a limited time (and, as tourists, we only have limited time) and the considerations for Americans about how to go legally are very practical.The book has web sites to use to reserve the required first 3 nights in Cuba and tips on where to stay, what the currency is, and all the things you'd want to know about any first-world country ... and he adds honest comments about the poor infrastructure and the poverty in the country. Posted on March 6, 2011 Bea Meneus says... It was the first time I used a Moon Handbook for my traveling. The information in this book is good but is not arranged in a convenient way for a traveler. Maps are not easy to use and not detailed, on top of that they are scattered around the book making it uncomfortable to flip from one to another. The history and background of Cuba is good and detailed but adds weight to the book which will significantly affect your small backpack (I would have paid extra to have the book in two sections). Posted on March 6, 2011 Shelton Wernz says... In general this is a good book and it seems up to date. For Havana this book is better than the Lonely Planet and has better maps and more information about things and places to see. The downside is the size. For me the Lonely Planet book could have done the job alone and it was only half the size of the this one. Posted on March 7, 2011 Leave a Comment |
