Frommer's Portable Turks and Caicos

This guide provided insight on everything about Turks an Caicos. Recommendations on Hotels; luxury to budget... restaurants, places to visit and sites to see. I highly recommend this guide for anyone that is looking to visit Turks and Caicos... a beautiful carribean getaway!

I made sure to order the 2012 version of this book before my recent vacation to Turks and Caicos. I found the book to be very useful, and referred to it frequently before and during the trip. However, I am not sure it is really up to date. For example, one night we chose a particular restaurant in Turtle Cove (Banana Boat restaurant) based on the book stating on Tuesday all entrees were 50% off. I happened to mention to a staff memeber at my hotel where we were going and he informed me that restaurant had been closed for 8 or 9 years. Another employee confirmed this fact. Oh well. Just proves you need to check everything out. Overall the book was very worthwhile though and I am am glad I had it.

So helpful!! We bought this befor our vacation and was very informative!

This book was pretty good but Trip Advisor had better and more in depth info. Use both if you like using guide books!

This book provides great details on everything you want to know about TCI for your vacation and more. Very handy.

Frommer's travel books are top notch. I don't travel without one for every adventure. I'm never disappointed and by the way- if you have a bucket list of the most stunningly breathtakingly beautiful places on earth to see, visit Turks & Caicos and being this guide book. It helped us find grocery stores that were the best for certain items as well as insured that we did not miss any of Provo's off the beaten path treasures!

Nice pocket size but out of date, restaurant reviews were really wrong - 3 stars to Anacona, and I wouldn't even give it one star. Didn't explain there was no snorkeling off Grace Bay Beach except Coral Gardens, which is small and not all that healthy - everything else must be by boat.

I have heard good things about these books so figured worth a shot, and it really isnt. The island is pretty small and its a tiny country to begin with plus most people don't travel that much between islands because its crazy expensive $50 bucks round trip on the 25 min ferry between provo and north caicos. The info that is helpful is pretty sparse and just in general I was expecting alot more. Tells you about the grocery store and few "helpful hints" but I am staying on provo and all it really told me is how expensive everything is and there isnt alot of stuff to do for cheap. Spend a few hours on trip advisor and make your own "travel guide" useing 5 bucks worth of ink and paper from your printer be just as effective and probably a bit more current.

Su Turks & Caicos non ci sono molte alternative e questa, pertanto, è stata una scelta forzata. E' una guida abbastanza completa ma decisamente migliorabile. Innanzitutto, mi sarei aspettato almeno una mappa ripiegabile (ho dovuto scaricarla da internet) e (anche a costo di spendere qualcosa in più) qualche illlustrazione colorata. Preferisco decisamente le guide lonely planet...
