 Somewhat typical Lonely Planet January 13, 2008
jacqueline fabius (NY, NY)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been a user of Lonely Planet for over 10 years. I would say that this one is fairly good but not as in depth as other ones on other countries. The hotel prices are not correct, (everything was more expensive than noted), and the reviews of the hotels themselves were not really that detailed to lead you to make a proper choice. This is of course in comparison to other authors for other countries and the level of detail there.
 Actually is the only recent guide from Jamaica August 10, 2006

I bought this guide because is the only guide from Jamaica published in 2006. Not bad, I haven't gone to Jamaica yet but it has been useful for planning my tryp. I think that I will take some of the advices that I've read.
 Ridiculously out of date August 5, 2006

While one can expect a guidebook to be somewhat out of date, this one is so out of date it is ridiculous. Published in January 2006, one would expect the information to at least be accurate as of mid-2005. However, that is far from the case.
Here are few examples of errors:
- The Blue Mountain Inn near Kingston, which receives an excellent review in the book, has been closed since mid-2004.
- Portofino's Restaurant in Kingston closed in 2004, and is now Chez Maria.
- The Fairy Glades Trail in the Blue Mountains closed in 2000 because of thefts of orchids, and can no longer be hiked.
- Jade Garden restaurant in Kingston has not served dim sum since mid-2004.
While there are some decent maps in the book, such out of date information makes me wonder when the author actually visited Jamaica.
