2nd Edition is here! (And one update already…)
I’ve filed all the old update notes under “1st edition,” paving the way for the new edition, just now available in stores for your winter trip planning. Playa del Carmen and Tulum have both grown a lot, and I found several great additions to the book. Overall, I think it’s a pretty solid reflection of the Riviera Maya.
I also scaled back the hotel reviews, judging (I hope correctly) that most people taking short trips to the Riviera Maya and Cancun are going to already have some kind of hotel deal arranged.
If you want more historical detail, or are planning a longer trip around the whole peninsula, definitely look out for The Rough Guide to the Yucatan–the 2nd edition of that is coming in early November.
Sadly (and typically) one restaurant is already shut: El Manati on Cozumel. Too bad–it had a good bar scene too.
