Frommer"s aims to help you choose the island and plan the vacation best suited to your budget and tastes, without inundating you with more data than you can possibly assimilate or use. They describe the various island personalities and amenities, point out the health and safety hazards, and let you know where to go for the best beaches, snorkeling, gambling, shopping, golf, family resorts, sailing, nightlife, and romantic hideaways. For each island, the guide explores a choice selection of where to stay and eat and what to do--but the focus is on finding the best the islands have to offer, and spending the rest of your time enjoying it. --Stephanie Gold
