My wife and I have traveled all over the world and have used a ton of travel guides. Typically we are Frommers users and not Fodors. With one of my best friends getting married recently and traveling to Costa Rica for his honeymoon I thought this was a great opportunity to review this travel guide.
This new "Gold Guide" has many more full color pictures than the normal Fodor's or Frommer's guide. Not quite as many as eyewitness guides but sometimes those guides focus to much on pictures and not enough on the info. The guide is well laid out and provides excellent travel information. It's nice that even though there are now a ton more color pictures the actual information in the book is still very good and was not ignored. Overall I think this guide edges the Frommer's and the normal Fodor's guides. I think the information is very similar but the inclusion of so many color photo's really does make the guide more fun to use. I lent this to my friend and...Read more 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: A Great Book For those about to Embark, By This review is from: Fodor's Costa Rica 2010 (Full-color Travel Guide) (Paperback) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Fodor's Costa Rica 2010 is a really nice book. I previously bought this very same guide book when the 2008 edition came out, and the 2010 version far surpasses it in many ways. With the full color 2010 edition there are so many more pictures that help you get a better idea of the cultural aspects of Costa Rica's tradition and the people of this picturesque country. The thicker, glossy paper used in this edition helps to bring out the detail of the numerous photos. The 2008 edition did not have nearly as many photos, with only a small section in the front of the book that had just a few color pictures.
The Contents in the front of the book are very helpful, very extensive, and makes it easier to find the area you are looking for without having to thumb through the pages. The breakdown of the book by geographical location is very helpful to concentrate on specific areas within Costa Rica, and at the top of almost every page shows the general location in bold orange with a more...Read more 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful:  Excellent Guide to Costa Rica, By This review is from: Fodor's Costa Rica 2010 (Full-color Travel Guide) (Paperback) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) I received this book through the Vines Program and rated it against my recent visit to Costa Rica. I found the material in the book to be very accurate and really did wish that I had this book with me when I visited Costa Rica as it would have saved me a lot of time and eliminated the trial and error method that I employed while there!
The book does an excellent job of providing you with a comprehensive geographical view of the country. If you have ever visited here via cruise ship and thought you had seen the country, this book will help you to see that you only saw a very small part of the country! If you are considering Costa Rica as a retirement location, this book would be indespensible to you as it covers all of the regions of the country, the culture, the history, the attractions, and the cities. The included Map of the country (large fold out that is detachable from the book)is excellent! The pictures in the book alone are worth the...Read more |
