Customer Reviews:
I found this book very helpful April 14, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am planning a trip to Bermuda and never having been there before I found this book very helpful. I know where to go for the activities and when to go for the events I wish to see. I see one reviewer gave a bad rating to this book because a couple of places listed in the book closed. Be aware that when these travel guides are written by the time they are published it is often up to a year later. Of course, some things will change in that time. That's no reason to trash the entire book. After reading the book I feel I will know my way around the island and what it has to offer.
Mistakes, Mistakes, Mistakes do not buy!!! November 16, 2007 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
We recently purchased this guidebook 2008 edition for an October 2007 trip to Bermuda. The first & biggest mistake-Wyndham Resort Spa & Fantasea dive center no longer exists! The hotel has been closed for at least 1 year.I dont understand how an entire resort can close, in one of the most popular areas, yet Frommer's does not KNOW THIS?!?! unacceptable! Especially if they claim the books are updated every year, clearly this is not possible. Second,MR Onion is closed, a'very popular' local place no longer exists. Third, Tuscany, the best italian eatery in Bermuda where all the locals go...also no longer exists. I even checked the online website in November (after our vacation) and found the same incorrect information listed that should be corrected. Bermuda is a small island & it is disappointing to learn that even with an island the size of Bermuda they can't get it right. Shame on them! Update: I noticed positive feedback from another user & she writes "I am planning a trip to Bermuda and never having been there before I found this book very helpful. I know where to go for the activities and when to go for the events I wish to see." My response to that- how can you give a positive travel guide review when you haven't been to the places the book recommends???? We ALSO thought we knew where to go- a dive resort and spa, so I could go diving and my cousin could get a massage- yet the entire RESORT was closed for more than a year!!! So she gives a positive review - which makes no sense- yet hasn't confirmed these places and events are still active. It wasn't just one entire resort they missed but three very popular (according to them) attractions on one of the smallest countries in the world! Whoever wrote that positive review is not looking out for the general public- maybe she works for the company.
