Fine for restaurant and activity advice, otherwise mediocre.......2006-12-04
As someone who was on my 5th trip to Puerto Vallarta, I bought the book for some new ideas on restaurants I hadn't tried, and on new activities. The book does a good job for that purpose, and for its $10 price on amazon, I can't complain. However, its coverage of other subjects is fairly poor; I would almost say downright silly. For example, it spends 75 pages going through oodles of general information with limited to no relevance to Puerto Vallarta, such as how many Starbucks in the U.S. have T-mobile hotspots, the relative benefits of Yahoo versus Hotmail accounts, and the location of the South African embassy in Mexico City. For example, it goes through pages of customs formalities on taking your car into Mexico--yet I feel it's unlikely that someone who's going only to PV is going to drive there.
What makes this all the more silly is that the book devotes only 7 pages to hotels in PV. It describes two in the Marina Vallarta area, two in the northern Hotel Zone (one of which it doesn't particularly recommend, giving it one star), three downtown, and 3 in the southern Hotel Zone. Of the three hotels discussed in the downtown area, one has been long torn down (the Molino de Agua), one is kind of yucky (the Playa Los Arcos--I've stayed there), and the third is a rather quirky choice--the Hacienda San Angel. This last hotel is a long hike to any beach, and its rooms range in price from $310-$590 depending on the room and season (except one room which goes for as little as $235 in low season). I'm sure it's a fine hotel for a small niche of customers, but it's not what I would include if I had only very limited space for hotel choices in my book.
The book also has some space devoted to other cities, and another one of the other hotel recommendations which I found bizarre was the "Hotelito Desconocido" (unknown little hotel). Again, there must be a market for places like this, but I suspect that the market's pretty small for a hotel with no electricity (lit by candles), almost no activities, a beach with water unsafe to swim in (no swimming allowed), and mosquitos galore with rooms going for $300-$600 a night, not including a required meal plan.
I don't mean to imply this book is useless. I did learn about new places to go with it, and the price is right. However, I have issue with the choices of material the books covered: to much of certain things, and too little of others.
Pretty Helpful.......2006-08-19
I got some good tips from the book. It helped me get familar with the layout of the area. In short, the top things I learned from the book were:
1) At the Puerto Vallarta airport keep your head down and don't talk to anyone. They're all trying to sell you something.
2) Use the pedestrian walk to cross over the highway and get a cheaper cab than from the airport. (We bargained and got a $13 USD ride to Nuevo Vallarta)
3) Vallarta Adventures is a reputable tour group in the area. We booked all our tours through them in advance on their website. www.vallarta-adventures.com
Frommer's Portable Puerto Vallarta.......2005-08-03
I enjoyed this guide book. It's not super comprehensive, but then it's not meant to be. The small size enabled me to slip into my pocket and carry it with me. It had enough information to guide me around Puerto Vallarta, and we tried several of the restaurants that it recommended with good results - the La Palapa restaurant was superb! I loved that place - slightly expensive, but worth it. A very romantic beach front restaurant.
Buy this guide-book and the Moon guide-book and you'll have enough information to explore the Puerto Vallarta area.

Lacking in Maps and Hotel Information.......2003-08-26
I found this a well written book that captured the feel of Puerto Vallarta and helpul for dining, shopping and background information. However the maps were inadequate and the hotel information very skimpy. I realise that it is a compact book but it should have a couple of detailed one or two page maps of the entire area showing road names. Unfortunately there are no maps in print to supplement the tiny vague maps in this book.
Frommer's Portable Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo & Guadalajara.......2000-10-23
On the plus side, this book is well-organized, easy to read, and up-to-date. However, for a book with only three cities to cover, it's rather skimpy on useful information. For example, for Puerto Vallara, it has only two hotels listed in the Marina area, ONE hotel listed for the popular northern "hotel zone," three hotels listed in the downtown area (one of which has only 13 units), and three hotels in the southern "hotel zone" (one of which has only 7 units). It completely leaves out many nice and popular hotels, incldinng the "Krystal," "Sheraton Buganvilias", "Buenaventura," and "Jolla de Mismaloya." The restaurant section is also unreasonably skimpy, especially for someone who plans to stay there a week or more. Although I understand that the guide is supposed to be "Portable," there certainly seemed to be other information in the book which probably would interst a smaller number of people. For example, it would seem unlikely that a person wanting only information on Jalisco and Colima states would drive to this area, yet there's a large section dealing with this. Likewise, information on all the embassies (New Zealand, etc.) in Mexico City is probably less useful that more restaurant and hotel choices in Puerto Vallarta.
Frommer's Mexico books are the best!.......2000-04-05
I've used the big Frommer's Mexico book countless times, but this small book is a must for anyone going to the Pacific Coast. The author hails from Puerto Vallarta, and her love for the town shows. Her dining reviews are great, and took me to some great "finds." My only suggestion would be more hotel reviews! Great job overall.

Buy this book if you want to improve your score at TWE.......2003-04-30
I had to learn some grammar to take the TOEFL TWE, and this book was an excellent choice. It is very well written and edited. It is also very easy to read. It would be great if it had all the answers to the exercises, but it deserves five stars anyway.

Best Dog Book Ever.......2002-04-04
Having worked in dog rescue for 10 years and fostered over 70 dogs in the past year I can say without reservation that this is the best dog book ever for someone in rescue work OR for someone looking to adopt a dog. It covers everything you will ever need to know from why you want a dog, the type of dog that is right for you, how to choose a dog, how to test its' temperment, it even has 50 mutilple choice questions to help you find the type of dog for your lifestyle. It covers basic health, types of dog groups and the training section is fabulous. The book is an easy read and very down to earth. I am going to recommend this book be the official book for my rescue league for recommended reading. Great job!!
A Must Read for New Owners and Current Owners of all Dogs.......2000-06-08
A great book to help a new dog owner know what to expect in training and raising an adopted dog of any age. Straightforward, easy to read, and honest-but with a positive approach! The lists can be a bit tedious at the beginning-and I felt would be better suited to complete AFTER reading the book. Overall-a great book for all members of the family to read!
Excellent information on all aspects of rescue/rehome dogs.......1999-03-27
This book tops everything I have read to date about rescue/rehome dogs. The test to match a breed with the owner's life style is of paramount importance and is placed early in the book. I especially like the sections on how to prepare for a rescue dog, and on the adjustment period. These two very important aspects can be the making or breaking of a long-term relationship. The stories of rescue dogs and the pictures are heartwarming. The training information, so necessary for most rescue dogs, is easily read and understandable. I now recommend this book to everyone who comes to me for a rescue dog.
One of the best books for people with previously owned dogs!.......1998-05-28
I loved this book! I have had two second hand dogs, and right now I'm having problems with one of them. This book is helping to train my nine year-old Cocker Spaniel (I don't think anyone ever trained him before). There is even a thorough quiz on what type of dog you want, to ensure a perfect match. In planning for my next adult dog, I took the quiz and ended up deciding the best breed for me was a Doberman Pinscher. I was SO happy to find out that one of my favorite breeds was the best one for me! This is definitely a wonderful book for novice or experienced owners! Plus, there's great advice on introducing your dog to other pets, finding the best source for your dog, and a listing of dog sports to participate in! And if you love guard dogs, there's plenty of pictures of mastiffs, rottweilers, and even a few of the beloved Doberman. Enjoy your dog, and this book as well!
