TWO vital COMPONENTS

I’ve been asked to find a selection of adapted hotels for a special needs UK group wishing to visit in 2010. This will be for 2 wheel chair users, 4 walkers with slight mobility difficulties and their carers. Initially I thought, yes no problem, I’ll “google” it.

I found a couple of what I thought perfect hotels in Benalmadena. By coincidence I happened to be in that area so I took the opportunity to see at first hand what was on offer.

Why oh why do hotels go to all the trouble of putting wonderful, non-slip, slightly graded user friendly ramps all over there hotel and then cannot provide one room that has an adapted wheel in shower? It just does not make sense to me. For any wheel chair user these two components in any hotel are absolutely vital and go hand in hand.

Stay tuned for a real report, I’ll be continuing my investigation with plenty more hotels in Benalmadena and Fuengirola and post up all my findings.

Covering the Costa del Sol

For the time being I will be focusing on the Costa del Sol region in Andalucia, mainly because this is the area where I reside and am familiar with local activities. However, as this blog expands I do hope to incorporate other regions.

I would appreciate any in put/feedback from readers interested in this community topic.

Thanking you for your cooperation.
