Tahiti and French Polynesia (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

Customer Reviews

Best of a bad bunch. - By: , 13 Jul 2001
Far from being fully comprehensive, this guide is pretty vague. Not bad as a rough guide, & admittedly has some useful numbers that I don't know where else I would have found, which is the crux of this book's success. There is no real competitor (it would seem) that has backpacker budget information. If you are looking for a mid-price or luxury holiday then there are better guides. French Polynesia isn't exactly the budget travellers haven that Thailand or even Fiji can be & there are less options for the financiallly challlenged tourist. However the guide could be a lot more comprehensive with the information there is available.

Do not take any prices or times in the book at face value - I found most prices a little higher in practice & times well out. But this is pretty normal with travel guides considering the time span between writing & publication.

It may be the best on the market for budget (hence the three stars) - but that isn't huge praise! Budding travel writers take note!
