Product Description
Saint Lucia is a Caribbean island which truly lives up to its travel brochure descriptions: an island of breathtaking beauty with miles of magnificent coastline, panoramic mountain views, lush vegetation and favorable climate. Its people, history, language and culture are a blend of the rich heritage of Africa, France and England. It is the home of the only drive-in volcano in the world, where the fascinating Sulphur Springs bubble. Saint Lucia is also famous for producing two Nobel Laureates and for staging an annual Jazz Festival that has become the talk of the entire world. In addition, Saint Lucia is a tourist paradise hosting more than 700,000 visitors every year. In this comprehensive guide, updated with all new photographs, Guy Ellis provides a profile of this "Helen of the West." A journalist for more than four decades, he edited the island's leading newspaper, the Voice, for 20 years before moving on to start a newspaper of his own, The Saint Lucia Mirror. In 2003, Ellis was honored by Her Majesty the Queen as a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his services to journalism. As one who remains in touch with every development that takes place on the island, he is well qualified to write this guide to his mother country.

Book on St. Lucia but not a Tour or Guide Book April 20, 2007
purdue_maggie (West Lafayette, IN)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this book hoping for a tour guide type book. I am not really sure what this book is trying to be. The photos are very nice and there is information I have not seen elsewhere. However, there are few details on only a select number of hotels - the hotel write ups contain no information on getting in touch with the hotels, their prices, ratings, or websites. Each hotel has 2-10 sentences written on it. There is some unique content about the history of the island and the men who have been involved in the evolution of the island.
For quick reading and information on the culture - I would give it 4 stars. Because it is advertised as a guide book, I give it 3. This book is not helpful for travel planning.
