What people are saying about the print version of this app:

"Pariser's updated, expanded third edition of his Barbados book is compact in size, pertinent in fact and loaded with offbeat suggestions for tours and activities. The book includes useful tips and charts, dining options from gourmet to vegetarian, colorful details on Cropover and other festivals, and loads of Web sites and e-mail addresses. The author dispenses blunt, practical advice which is a welcome change from some other guidebooks.... This book is a welcome addition to any travel library." — Gay Nagle Myers, Travel Weekly

If you truly want to dive into a destination, consult this terrific guide.... a wonderful resource.... — GetawayWeddings.com
