Disabled Spa Holidays in Dominican Republic with Grab Rails, Shower Chair and Lowered Bath

The Dominican Republic lies in the Caribbean, south of the Bahamas. It shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti to the west. It is known for its golfing, for its pristine beaches and for its all inclusive resorts. It also has a varied terrain comprising savannah, rainforests, highlands and has the tallest mountain in the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus landed here and the Spanish colonial history that is still very much in evidence, blends in with Dominican heritage such as the passionate sounds of merengue and the colmados on every corner in a potent mix. Santo Domingo is the capital, Santiago, the second city is slightly more laid back, while Punta Cana is home to many beautiful resorts.

How to Get There - The Dominican Republic is served by a number of international airports including Punta Cana in the west, or Puerto Plata in the north. Flight times from the UK are approximately ten hours. Due to its location, the Dominican Republic makes for an ideal base for exploring other islands in the Caribbean, as part of a cruise or just as a holiday destination in itself.

Best Time to Go - The Dominican Republic enjoys year round temperatures of 29 - 32 degrees and so is ideal for visiting at any time of the year. Escape the UK winter or head off in Summer, it is perfect for couples or families at any time.
