How accesible is the Carribean?

For those Dopers who’ve visited the Caribbean, how wheelchair accesible did you find? I’m most intersted in the touristy/resort areas.

Resorts (meaning the kind of place that caters essentially only to foreigners) may be pretty accessible, but the towns I’ve been in are definitely not. Old places almost never are. Narrow places, bad sidewalks, steps, that sort of thing.

It depends where you do end up, and how you go …

Cruisecritics.com has a great disabled area in their forums, and there is a lot of great commentary on pretty much any matter, locations, vacation ideas and so forth.

I found that it can be patchy, at this time, unless you are going to Labadee Haiti which is a private vacation area leased by Royal Caribbean, you should avoid Haiti. St Thomas was nice, though a few of the museum/businesses were still not made accessible, but there are cutouts and such, the bus is not accessible, but IIRC there is a handicapped specific tour guide with a van, but he is expensive. Most of the US territories should be more or less ADA compliant. We pretty much stuck to american territories, so head over to cruise critics and you will find out a lot more info.

aruqvan-I always assumed places like Puerto Rico and USVI had to comply w/ADA.
