ACCESSIBILITY RATING: 5\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Few things can make or break a travel experience for a wheelchair user like\"\" a hotel in a foreign country. Barbados isn’t a large country by any means, so my options for a wheelchair accessible hotel with the bathroom and amenities I needed were a bit limited compared to other places I’ve visited. However, I hit the jackpot when my friend Azure and I arrived at the Hilton Barbados Resort<\/a> in Bridgetown.<\/p>\n

Located a short five-minute drive from downtown Bridgetown, the resort sits on a stunning outcropping of aquamarine beach called Needham’s Point in the southwest corner of Barbados. It has a beautiful open-a\"\"ir lobby, two pools on two different levels (including an ininity pool facing the ocean), a large private beach, two formal restaurants, and a more casual indoor bar\/restaurant and pool bar. Although we didn’t use them, we saw that there is a spa on property, as well as a salon, boutique, coffee shop, and Internet space. Since I’m a Hilton rewards member, we were able to have a free full breakfast each morning on the 8th floor with an incredible view of Carlisle Bay. The hotel also has social events and beach parties certain nights of the week.<\/p>\n
