Any guidebook has its biases. It's the edge that makes a guidebook unique, the approach that lets you trust a guidebook implicitly (if those biases correspond with your own)--or that cause you grief, if you and the author don't see eye to eye. To his credit, Ian Keown is up-front with his propensities, spelling out his pet peeves in his introduction. Do you prefer ceiling fans to air-conditioning, dislike piped-in music intruding upon your candlelit dinner, and strive to avoid cruise-ship hordes? Keown does, and his recommendations are based on those values. Keown covers the Caribbean from the Cayman Islands on down to Tobago, imparting snippets of history and data (in the Caymans, for example, there are now 400 banks serving fewer than 20,000 people) and recommending the best, sweetest, most romantic places for a Caribbean holiday. Now in its ninth edition, Caribbean Hideaways has honed hotel description to a fine art. All the relevant information is there, plus humor, sarcasm, and praise. --Stephanie Gold

 Not so Hiddenaways August 14, 2005
E. Pihl
In true Frommers style this book is well written, thorough and well researched. The problem lies in the fact that contrary to what the desciption would have you believe the properties listed in this guide are for the most part in the very expensive range. Now in some respects a "hideaway" needs be a purposely found hideaway location that warrants the high price for privacy but I was disappointed that more off-the-beaten track, unusual/quirky, hidden gem sort of accomodations were not mentioned. If you are seeking a honeymoon location, in cognito vacation or splurge than this book is for you, but if you are looking for something not found in those full page vacation sell-off ads - get a different book.
 THE book for those who truly appreciate the real caribbean January 22, 2004
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
For me (and others who really travel the caribbean) this is the book!! These are the very best places to stay with excellent commentary , room suggestions, descriptions etc. I have traveled to almost all of the suggestions and Ian is right on the money. Do NOT buy this book if you like all inclusives with lots of party games - it is not for you. This is an escapist manual. I would trust his suggestions for the trip of a lifetime - everytime! I have both copies and it is obvious the new edition was not just a rehash - everything is updated. Worth every penny and more!

What a WONDERFUL guide to the Caribbean!! This specialized Frommer's Guide is not the usual travel book ... it delivers the romance part of the equation, as promised. Not only are the descriptions detailed enough to make some intelligent choices, the overall organization of the book is fantastic. And, the author's first-hand experience, over decades - not a few months, makes this a must have resource. I can't imagine going to the Caribbean without this in my bag!
Don't buy this book if you don't want to travel July 6, 2000

This book will seduce you into quickly booking your next vacation. It is simply GREAT! Lots of pricey suggestions, but several less-expensive gems too. Buy it, and you will be travelling soon.
