 EXCELLENT GUIDE BOOK August 16, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I love Key West and have traveled there many times and it is a regular place I continue to travel to. I like to keep up to date on all the lastest info and places. There are many books on the Florida Keys and Key West. This one stands up there with the best of them.
It comes in a convenient size and expertly summarizes the history of key West and then gives in depth info on tourist attractions, lodging options and restaurants. These reviews are very important for the different options for lodging and restaurants in Key West are very eclectic and this book gives a review of a very broad range of them.
I did not use this book for the other Keys but it seems to be very informative. Key West is beautiful and a must to travel to at least once and this guide will definitely prove to be helpful.
Florida Keys very good info March 8, 2007

Took this book on our trip and found it to be very helpful. Loved reading the history or background, gives you a better understanding of how and why before you visit the sites. Restaurant recommendations were spot on. If I had to change anything, I would be more specific on location of restaurants. Instead of saying go towards ocean and turn; street names would be beneficial as a lot of the streets cross in different directions. Otherwise, a great book to have for your trip.

This book contains a great deal of info on towns, things to do, restaurants, and areas off the beaten path. It will definitely come in handy for my trip to the Keys.

Our vacation in the Keys wouldn't have been so amazing had we not bought this book. Everything we did, ate, and enjoyed came from a recommendation found within the pages of this easy to read and user-friendly guide. The references to ocean-side vs. gulf-side made it simple to locate desitinations and the "hidden" secrets made our vacation like a scavenger hunt.
"Buried Treasure" February 18, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Not every guidebook on the keys would feature such an unassuming place as Jim and Val's Tugboat Restaurant in Key Largo. Jim and Val's Tugboat is one of the true "buried treasures" of Florida, and this guidebook has enough sense to put it in bold. Wonder if we'll see the place over-run by "foodies" who will go anywhere to try something new.
Long ago, pirates prowled the waters around the keys, and nowadays, it's chic to blame the congestion of the keys on tourists, but sometimes it's just people drawn to the good food (like the steak poivre which is simply out of this world) or people trying to find out what drew poet Wallace Stevens back, year after year, to the Key West hotel about which he wrote such a haunting poem. This guidebook will be a nice souvenir for you, even if you haven't been in Key Largo for some time. It will bring it all back to you--the salty creosote smell, the cerise skies that turn inky at night, the stars that twinkle right above your head--you can almost catch one by the toe.
