We understood Sri Lanka so much better thanks to this guide. It really made our trip.

The guidebook “spain” was excellent. I used it for planning the trip to Madrid, Barcelona and Toledo.

Great tool for travel planning a quick trip to this region of England
I visited Oxford las month and this Pocket Guide was a great value. Sights and pubs reviews were spot on. One thing though: during graduation season, several sights are closed down for private events. Duke Humfrey's library and the Sheldonian Theater were unavailable during my trip. Maybe there's a note in the guide which I might have missed, but a heads-up on this would be nice.

really helpful
I love the lonely Planet Guides, they are so useful when travelling. It Had all the Importamt information about the regions in Tasmania, so we could plan our Roadtrip without googling for hours. The Cape Raoul Track was beautiful, as Well as many other places recommended Here. The prices of the ferry etc. Are also helpful. Thank you!

South Pacific Book sharing my thoughts
Hello,
I would like to share a super beautiful resort called Coconuts Resort and Spa in Independent Samoa along the souhtern coast which is not listed in the Lonely Planet's South Pacific Book but I forturnatlely discovered Coconuts Resort on Conde Nast's website. This is a top luxury resort with about 20 rooms/villas plus 6 over the water fales (we stayed in a over the water fale for 6 nights and it is one of the best places we I ever stayed in!!). We have travelled to over 125 countries using Lonely Planet guide for over 30 years. Coconut resort has free kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling. All their buildings have beautiful traditional Samoan ceilings and custom light fixtures of palm leave etc. Feature a Fia Fia (fire)dance night each week. (We saw the champion fire dancer who was champion for 2 years and who came in 3rd in 2025 in the show). Convenient location close to the intrarisland road to Apia. Lonely Planet would be wise to include Coconuts Resort in the Samoa chapter. Cheers, Happy Lonely Planet traveler, Rosalinda Corvi
