Medical Health Care Facilities
If you are disabled, there is no need to look for a different
vacation destination. Aruba has plenty of facilities for the
handicapped. There are some hotels (for example the Hyatt
Regency Resort and the Mariott Resort & Stellaris) that have
ground floor rooms and elevators so you can get into the room
easily with a wheelchair. Other hotels that have rooms which
disabled persons can use are for example the Aruba Palm Beach
Resort and the Holiday Inn Beach Resort. Check our Hotel page
for further details on these hotels and how to contact them
with your specific questions. Also, check out Red Sail Sports
if you are interested
in a diving course for disabled people. However, keep in mind
that right now, some of the roads in downtown Oranjestad are
not very suitable for people in a wheelchair. The government
is working hard to fix the roads. |
