Jamaica

[Jim]

A acquaintance with CP wants to attend a wedding at Sandy Bay Jamaica. Sandy Bay isn't accessible though. He was told he could stay on another part of the Island but would have to pay $100 a day in order to have access to both parts of the island. I'm not sure who told him this or if it is accurate.

Does anyone have experience with Jamiaca?

Thanks

Cost $100 for what? Transportation? A more expensive hotel?

I have not been, but here is a recent article you may want to review. Perhaps the cab driver with the accessible cabs listed here would be a resource for accessible accomodations as well:

Here is another older article:

Also, as usual, I recommend doing a Google search. Use the terms "wheelchair accessible jamaica" and you should get some hits. Here are a few I found:

Always call and confirm the type of "accessible" ammenities provided, especially outside the USA.

He wasn't very clear on what the $100 charge was for. It sounded like someone was trying to take advantage of him. I'll find out more when he comes into work this week.

Thanks for the links, I will pass them on.
