Varadero Travel Forum

A small group of us are thinking of going to Cuba or the Dominican Republic in mid-February for a week. We are looking 3 or 4 star, reasonably-priced, all-inclusive and wheelchair-accessible resort. I have a manual wheelchair.

By wheelchair-accessible, I mean one with a room that has a bathroom door is at least 24 inches wide, grab bars beside the toilet and shower and no stairs to most of the amenities. The room must be able to accommodate 3-4 people.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello - check out Breezes Jibacoa which is located between Varadero and Havana, Cuba. We've been there twice and are actually going back at the end of January. My husband uses a manual wheelchair and this resort is wheelchair accessible everywhere except for the upstairs piano bar. There are no elevators. You can easily get around the rest of the resort through a series of ramps and pathways. As to grab bars and items of that nature my husband doesn't need them yet but you can get the information on special room amenities by contacting Signature Vacations or the hotel itself. We've seen others in wheelchairs in the past and they seemed to manage very well.

Good luck in your search!
