To help you plan more efficiently, Fodor's has incorporated several tools to help you easily make the best choices:

• While all of the properties listed in our books and on our website are recommended,
  a next to a sight or property denotes a "Fodor's Choice": a place that we rate as a highly recommended experience in a destination.

• Once you've narrowed your selections you can use Fodor's "Compare 3" tool to make side-by-side comparisons of our hotel and restaurant recommendations. Just click the boxes next to the properties you want to compare.

• We encourage you to share your opinions and experiences of hotels and restaurants we select. Adjacent to each Fodor's review you'll find a user rating from 1 to 5 (poor to excellent). Have a property you like or loathe? Sound off by clicking on the "Rate It" button and adding your own review.
