 Beautiful
I have been to the Yucatan and dream of owning a house there some day. This book transports me back there each time I open it. The photos are beautiful. The writing is interesting. I was excited to order this book and it is now at the top of my coffee table book pile, because it is my favorite to look at.
 A REPETITION OF THEIR OTHER BOOKS
This book like their other Yucatan books is very nicely put together with beautiful photos and text. However, the overall appearance of the book seems to be a repetition of the same homes, hotels and discussions about the same designers/architects as their other books. I got the impression that the main purpose of this book and all its content was a payback to anyone that the writers (Karen Witynski and Joe P. Carr) owed a favor to. That being hotels that gave them free accommodations, restaurants that gave free meals, architects that gave them free design work for their own properties and furniture dealers that gave them furniture.
My advice is that if one is looking for design and idea books on Mexico is to search Amazon for alternative books. There are a good assortment to choose from at reasonable prices. If you have a copy of the earlier published Casa Yucatan that book is an adequate collection of the Carr/Witynski publications. Save your money and don't buy this book.
