Insider Tips: Sandals Royal Caribbean is very “physically-challenged” friendly. It has minimal amounts of elevation changes, enabling wheelchairs and scooters to have access to all areas on the resort (including the beach) via walkways and ramps where necessary. Access to the Private Offshore Island & Over-the-Water-Villa and Bungalows is difficult for the physically challenged as this involves getting in/out of boats.
