[.ca] The Most Romantic Resorts for Destination Weddings, ... (ISBN 1561719145)

This book helped me to have a wonderful honeymoon!:
I used this book to decide where to go for for my destination wedding and it was easy to look up the hotels (they were listed not only alphabetically but by area) so it saved me a lot of time. I had been trying to research where to have a destination wedding on my own when I found this. I was originally planning on marrying in Europe but found that it's very difficult to marry there if you're American. But this book had resorts in the Caribbean and Hawaii (and Florida in America)where it's easy to have a destination wedding. After looking at all the places in the book, we chose Couples in Negril (the book told us what we needed to know--including that weddings there were free!) and it was wonderful. It's a beautiful book with many pictures of resorts and I'm keeping it to see where we'll go for our first anniverary.

This book helped me figure out where to go for my wedding:
I could never figure out the difference between all the Sandals hotels and the Beaches and Breezes and Superclubs places and this book had each one with a photo and comments from people who had gone there and told me what the difference wasand what was good about it and what wasn't like a small rocky beach or that a place is far from town. I didn't find that type of stuff on websites for the places and Ifound that very very helpful. Also, it is really beautiful looking (the cover anyway) so I keep it on my coffee table and people comment on it. It looks much more costly than the $... I paid for it.

Not woth it:
I purchased this book with the hope that it will help me plan my destination wedding. It is not worth the money as it is not helpful with anything. Each resort has very basic information (even more basic than what you would find in a travel magazine) and the black and white pictures are not good quality at all. A horrible buy. I am returning it as we speak as it proved to be a huge disappointment.

Not what I was looking for:
This book is basically 2 pages each for 135 resorts in the Caribbean & gives descriptors like locations for wedding (beach, gazebo, etc), room rates (not helpful at all since it depends on time of year & you can get group rates if you marry there), etc. . Without using this book, I booked my wedding at the Westin in St John & now that I look at the book, some of the information is inaccurate& not really helpful now that I know what the important things to know are... I could've gotten better information about the resorts on fodors.com and definitely got better information by going to resorts' websites (which are easy to find if you can use search engines). This would be more helpful for planning a honeymoon, as you can see all the resorts that are out there but as for planning a DW, it is really not useful...

Don't waste your money:
This book was a waste of money. The layout was horrible and the information provided extremely general. You're better off using a wedding or travel magazine and a good search engine.
