The book also discusses how to select a resort hotel, how to plan and book your

Review

As the hedonists of the world search for a relaxing haven to kick back and spend a vacation of leisure, it's well to keep in mind that not all resorts are alike. Seeking the best in luxury, comfort, and atmosphere, Stern has compiled a selective inventory of more than 100 fine international resorts, with color and black and white photos of each. Taking into account such factors as location, accommodations, service, food, price, what there is to do, and what your fellow guests might be like, he helps guide you to the resort most suitable to you, from secluded, dreamy hotels in the Caribbean, Hawaii, Tahiti, Bali and Fiji to sophisticated sensations in Europe, Asia and the U.S. --Stephanie Gold END
