We first stayed at the Hibiscus Beach Hotel west of Christiansted. It was fine for the years that my father only used his rolling walker. As his condition has progressed we have changed to the Divi Carina Bay Resort. They have 2 accessible rooms. One has a roll-in shower and the other has a tub that you can easily get into. They staff is always very helpful. The beach is very accessible as the slope is a low angle. The pool area is also accessible. They have an elevator in the main lobby. We recently made our first trip out to Buck Island using Caribbean Sea Adventures. They were awesome! My father went in his wheelchair (a lightweight transport chair) and they lifted him right in the chair from the dock into the boat. He had always been nervous about making that trip but he said it was well worth it!! They also offered him assistance with swimming and snorkeling but he did not feel comfortable to do so. They were very accomodating!!! We have stayed at 2 different hotels over the years in STX. We first stayed at the Hibiscus Beach Hotel west of Christiansted.

We have been there on numerous occasions with my father who uses a rolling walker and in the past few years has been using a wheelchair. The airport is all on one level and they have large accessible bathrooms. We use American Airlines and they always offer to use the lift to get into the planes and the aisle chair if needed.
