Who said this was accessible?

When traveling to places where accessibility can be questionable, purchase and carry a light weight, foldable “suitcase ramp”. Great for those places that have a couple of annoying steps. The ramp fits nicely in a large skateboard backpack, or hiking backpack, and can be carried by a companion traveler. The ramp is also easy to check at the airport.

GULF SHORES : Accommodations

RESORTS

Escape to the Shore: “All five of the condo units on the fifth floor are wheelchair accessible and each unit has a roll-in shower.

They have games and activities for the entire family, including weekly scavenger hunts and Bingo. The activities are free for property owners and only $3/person for rental guests.

The property also has ramps to an exercise room (no accessible equipment), an indoor pool and several outdoor pools. A wheelchair user has access to all of the pool areas. The outdoor pools have shallow steps that lead directly into the pool (none of the pool areas have lifts).

The doors for the property and the units can be very heavy to open independently.” Carolee, 6/26/11
