Title: Lonely Planet Rarotonga & the Cook Islands (Raratonga and the Cook Islands, 5th Ed) by Errol Hunt, Nancy Keller ISBN: 1-74059-083-X Publisher: Lonely Planet Pub. Date: June, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.83 (6 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: A MUST read if you are heading for the Cooks!
Comment: We just got back from a two week exploration of the Cooks and found this book VERY helpful. The Cooks will quickly convince you that if you've only been to Hawaii, you've only gone half way to Heaven!
Unfortunately, we required hospital services (because of tainted food), and this book over simplifies issues of needed medical care. (Details that should be included in EVERY travel guide!)
Naturally, most prices quoted are actually higher, but that's just dealing with reality.
We observed "newbies" arriving without this book, and therefore, without a clue of where to go or what to do.
FOUR Stars because this book was so valuable, but as with most, there is room for improvement.

Summary: lonely planet, raro and cook islands
Comment: If you are headed out to the Cook Islands (absolutely fabulous, beautiful place to visit), you MUST bring this book with you. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not bad, unfortunately out of date
Comment: Having recently returned from the Cook Islands, I cannot highly recommend this book. While the history and culture sections are interesting, the lodging and shopping/restaurants sections leave a lot to be desired. Most of the businesses mentioned have either gone out of business or changed hands. This is especially true on Aitutaki, where only one of the businesses recommended was still in its present form! As another reader recommended, the book does not sufficiently cover home rentals which are a great way to stay on these islands for a reasonable amount (and most can be viewed and reserved on the internet!). David Stanley's Moon Handbooks South Pacific guide is a much better choice--it is more up to date and covers all the major South Pacific islands for almost the same amount of money.
