The only guidebook to Haiti! And a good one!
18. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
The Dominican Republic part is just fine. But you can get that same quality on the DR with Fodor's or Moon. However for the same price this book covers also Haiti.
As this is the only guidebook to Haiti there was a danger that it would be done very sloppy - with no competition. However the research is very thorough. Despite what some media want you to believe Haiti is safe for tourists (and also visited by many NGOs). To tell the truth official data shows that Haiti is safer then touristy Jamaica! It's also the best destination to see the old Caribbean as well as for history buffs (the Gingerbread houses, the Citadel).
This book covers Port-au-Prince, the urban spawl around it, all of southern Haiti, and most of the North (Goniaves, Cap-Haitien, Fort-Liberte, Tortuga). It doesn't cover some out of the way villages as well as Port-de-Paix, but still, it's very detailed for a Haiti book. Of course a full post earthquake update was done.
There is only ONE(!!!) alternative if you go to Haiti and it's not in English - it's the French "Petit Fute" guidebook, last published in... 2005. It is a little more detailed, but not worth it even if you speak French - it's just plain old at 6 years. The only thing it has slightly better then this book is the maps.

Maps are now smaller, book already outdated 4.5 months after publication
17. März 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I was mostly in Cabarete only, so I shall make only 2 comments:
(1) MAPS ARE NOW SMALLER AND LESS DETAILED? Seems to be so in the latest makeover of LP books. Bad idea!
(2) ALREADY OUTDATED. I used this in early March 2012, book publication date is stated as Nov 1, 2011. Yet at least two of the recommended eating places in Cabarete was already closed down, and the recommendations were generally off the mark. The new Belgian bakery next to Banco Popular (west of the town centre) is clearly superior to Dick's, yet receives no mention.
Prices for bus fares and stuff were also already outdated.
Most likely the research was done in say 2010 or 2009, and by the time the book came off the press in late 2011, the information was already outdated.
I've come to expect better from LP, so this was below par. 3 stars.

Good Guide
4. Januar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Everything you need for a guide - short, accurate, and specific. The only criticism - it is sometimes a little too kind. Check out the Museum of Modern Art in Santo Domingo. You'll have it to yourself.
