Rating: - Let's Go is ALWAYS the best....
Let's Go never disappoints. Their recommendations are on point, geared towards my traveling style as 20-something who is well-traveled. It's information is easy to find and well laid out. It's information is concise. It's just the complete package.
Lonely Planet is way too popular to be useful to me, and luckily there's a better alternative: Let's Go.
Rating: - outdated, many mistakes
I just returned from a two week trip in Costa Rica. I used this guidebook for planning the trip, and for that it was useful with concise and honest summations of each city and region. But once in-country, I was consistently disappointed. There were mistakes on maps and wrong phone numbers, leading to a lot of confusion and one cancelled hotel reservation. Transportation schedules were accurate but the book lacks a central page of transportation tables where all can be seen at a glance. Let's Go is thinner (read: lighter) than other Costa Rica guidebooks, but you pay for this in that the listings aren't very complete -- the Monteverde/Santa Elena region had ten times as many hotels as are listed in the book.
I bought this book in hopes that having something other than Lonely Planet would lead me to new and less-visited places. But I suppose that a traveller will find these places on her own. I'd advise this book in combination with others for trip planning, but take something else along for the ride.
