Customer Reviews

Great travel guide
I was very surprised to see that several of the most negative comments about this edition of the Rough Guide to Mallorca were written before the book was published! Remarkable

impressive
This book was invaluable to a first timer to this lovely island. Everything was meticulously researched and was well and funnily written. Restaurant reviews were good too.

Top quality guide book
I am astounded by the shamelessly negative reviews of this excellent guidebook. Phil Lee's witty, incisive and highly personal style is so refreshing, and his opinions on which places and attractions to see and which to avoid are invaluable and always hit the mark. I first used the 1996 version of this book on my first solo trip to Mallorca (in that summer)and although admittedly I can't comment on other reviewers' remarks about the Palma shop, restaurant and club scene, I can say that for the great outdoors, such as places on the island to visit and magnificent hikes (ALL the hikes in the book are fantastic and easy to follow)it is unbeatable. Definitely the best comprehensive guide book to Mallorca.
