This guide focuses on the #1 tourist destination in Latin America and the Caribbean: Cancún, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya (Puerto Morelos, Playa Secreto, Punta Bete, Akumal, Tulum, Punta Allen). 20 million tourists visit here each year. Outlying attractions handled as a traveler would handle them as day trips, while staying in town. Recommended tour operators, suggested itineraries, tips on how to avoid the crowds. Takes a unique approach, encouraging readers to live, breathe and immerse themselves entirely in the places they visit. Hotel and restaurant descriptions are highly detailed, with first-hand reviews based on repeat visits by the authors. Aimed at discriminating travelers who appreciate value as well as luxury. There are many guides covering the broader area of the Yucatán Peninsula, including the Adventure Guide to the Yucatán, but few guidebooks focus on the most-visited area of Cancún and the Riviera Maya. Our book is the most comprehensive, with 320 pages dedicated to this region alone. This is the only guide to the area with color maps and photos throughout.

Bruce and June Conord have been travel hounds for years, but Mexico kept luring them back with its charm and beauty. They collaborate on a monthly travel column.

Bruce has written numerous magazine articles as well as three biographies for children and young adults. He graduated Rutgers University and studied Spanish at Forester Instituto in Costa Rica.

June was born in Plymouth, England and spent part of her childhood in a picturesque fishing village in Cornwall. She attended Plymouth Art College before emigrating to the United States. Together their travels have taken them to 15 different countries around the world, but they always come home to New Jersey.
