Cancun is the single most heavily-visited vacation destination in Mexico today. And with reason. Magnificent beaches of fine white sand, superb restaurants and lodgings, crafts-and- clothing-shops, history-and-nature-featuring theme parks, and nearby Mayan sites (especially Tulum and Chichen-Itza) of breath-catching interest. Add the same facilities and attractions of the beach-lined Caribbean coast north and south of Cancun (Isla Mujeres, the 'Maya Riviera', among many more), and you have an indispensable visit and stay to make. The authors of Frommer's Easy Guide to Cancun and the Caribbean Coast of Mexico have spent years in this warm-weather area, diligently searching for the best, and have set forth their top preferences in hotel resorts, restaurants, attractions and shops in all price ranges.

Los Angeles and San Diego, the two major cities of southern California, are radically different from most others in America, and thus fascinating to visit. Los Angeles harbors Hollywood, and all its associated film-making studios and sites, as well as giant museums, countless nightspots with live entertainment, symphonic halls and theaters, numerous ethnic communities, and adjoining beach towns and ocean ports. San Diego, on the border with Mexico, with one of the best climates in America, is a giant metropolis (1,300,000 residents in the city itself, 3 million in the city and suburbs) but with many features of a resort: dozens of top beaches and parks, famed ethnic restaurants, Sea World and a spectacular Zoo, all attracting tens of millions of visitors each year. Our authors, Christine Delsol and Maribeth Mellin, both Californians, have filled our Easy Guide with their most cherished preferences in lodgings, meals, attractions and shopping, carefully balanced to offer either luxury or thrift.
