Summary: Useful and interesting
Comment: I used this edition of Let's Go for 2 separate trips to Puerto Rico and was very happy with it. I thought it contained a good amount of background and history of the island, as well as pointing out interesting, non-touristy places to go and things to do. It has a lively, engaging tone and is never dry or boring. I enjoyed just reading it to learn about Puerto Rico, aside from using it as a guide to the island.

A more recent edition has been published, so therefore not all of the info in this edition is totally up to date (but of course, it is impossible to have a totally up-to-date travel book because by the time these books are published, some things will inevitably have changed). But in my opinion it would be worth having along just to read about Puerto Rico and get suggestions for off-the-beaten-path things to do.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Good for college students
Comment: This is a well-presented, readable guide. However, it is lacking in background information--which we found more of in Explore Puerto Rico and the drier Lonely Planet guide. It is good as a supplement. However, I would use Explore Puerto Rico or one of the other guides as my main guide. What we found really useful was all of the websites and e-mails that are listed in depth in Explore Puerto Rico. This really helped us plan our trip. Let's Go guides are written by Harvard college students and the tone and content reflect this.

Summary: Let's go rocks
Comment: We just returned from Puerto Rico and thanks to Let's Go we had a fabulous time. Information in there is extremely accurate and all the essential information is provided. I did take another book (Frommer's guide) and that was hopeless.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: I'm from Puerto Rico and out of curiosity, I browsed through LG Puerto Rico. This is *the* travel guide for Puerto Rico. Not only is it more detailed than Lonely Planet and others, but it also gives the reader an up close and personal glance to all the fun things you can do on the island. Don't think twice. Buy this book over all others.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Excellent, accurate and complete
Comment: I just returned from Puerto Rico and used Let's Go, Lonely Planet PR, and Explore Puerto Rico. Let's Go was the most complete and accurate of the bunch (it is the most recently published of the three). LP was a close second, but if you have to choose one, I would buy Let's Go. I noticed that Let's Go isn't geared to the college student looking for the best parties while travelling anymore or for the cheapest hole in the ground to crash - there are a range of options for any independent traveller. It was also clear that the writers did experience first-hand everything they wrote about. The details were impressive and useful. If you want a second book on PR, Lonely planet would be it. I would not recommend Harry Pariser's Explore Puerto Rico - this a very disappointing book and I'm sorry I paid $$ for it.
