Moon Puerto Vallarta Including the Nayarit Jalisco Coasts Moon Handbooks Justin Henderson Bruce Whipperman 9781612385150 Books Reviews

• I'm a big fan of the Moon Handbooks but am very disappointed in this supposedly updated edition of their Puerto Vallarta guide. It's this kind of "updating" that is making guidebooks irrelevant and causing savvy travelers to turn to web sites instead.
  
  There's actually less useful information here on hotels and restaurants in PV than in Lonely Planet Mexico, which covers the entire country! As for being updated, the authors, to cite one of many out-of-date pieces of info, talk about the much-beloved Rizo's Supermarket in the Zona Romanatica - even though it has been closed for three years!
  
  As a resident of México for three years and frequent visitor to PV I'd say you'll get ten times the useful information just browsing Trip Advisor.
• This is a very easy-to-read, friendly, "talk to you" tour guidebook that I do recommend to anyone who has never been to Puerto Vallarta and would like to get their feet wet on where to begin their vacation. It wasn't stuffy or crammed with irrelevant information, and the book gave many options for things to do in and around Puerto Vallarta. I especially enjoyed that it gave a lot of off the beaten path ideas that get you out of the heart of the city.
  
  The reason I rated this 3-stars was because the information seemed to repeat itself over and over throughout the book. For example, in one section of the book it will tell you about the various beaches to check out; further on in the book, it will list the exact same beaches with little to no additional information or why it's being listed in both sections, which cover two completely different topics. The information seemed very circular as though it was just trying to take up space and make the book longer than it needed to be.
  
  Overall, I *would* recommend this book for the solo traveler who has never been to Puerto Vallarta. It definitely helped me as a solo traveler, but I did find some information to be outdated, which is perfectly acceptable since things change on a moment's notice from when the book is published,so just be mindful of that. In summary, a great springboard to help you get on your way to exploring this beautiful, magical city.
  
  Happy travels!
• I bought this book for my first trip to Puerto Vallarta. It was a useful reference guide. In the US I am now used to finding all the info I need on my smartphone, but I was glad that I had a reference guide which did not rely on having an internet connection. I found the maps and information very useful.
• Great book to travel with while in PV and surrounding. been using it daily in addition to the electronic devises. Good descriptions of sites, nice recommendation and solid advise. I like the small useful dictionary at the end and background about the culture, history, fauna. Also we'll organized
  Total worth the cost and much more
• This is an excellent guide. The coverage is quite detailed, and the listings are authentic and comprehensive. Recommendations illustrate a real working knowledge of the city. The author is dedicated to, and familiar with, his subject.
  
  Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's prime tourist traps, and travelers know it primarily as an outdoor destination. This book proves that the city and its surrounding communities can be an interesting cultural destination as well.
  
  The layout of the book is familiar Moon format, but the overall quality of its construction has improved. There are many different devices that serve the interests of a wide range of travelers. There's a lot of color content. Historical, cultural, and practical contexts are all complete and are excellent. Maps are simple and accurate.
  
  There's much more detail here than you're likely to encounter in a Puerto Vallarta chapter in a larger country guide. I always enjoy using a good travel guide to discover things I might not otherwise have found while traveling. This is such a book. I found its coverage of the little mountain towns of San Sebastian, Mascota and Talpa to be particularly useful for further exploration of these fascinating, off-the-beaten-track places.
• Always comes in handy when travelling.
• Like photos and info about Puerto Vallarta and towns around it
• Well organized and written. Excellent presentation. The maps are adequate. I can't judge accuracy since I have not visited yet. Good chapters on the coast 100 miles north and south.
