Accessible Resorts in Mexico

Five Wheelchair-Accessible Timeshare Resorts

Mexico is home to some of the most desirable vacation destinations in the world. From Cabo San Lucas and Nuevo Vallarta on the Pacific coast to Cancun and the Yucatan on the Gulf of Mexico, there are plenty of destinations from which to choose.

Resorts and lodging options in Mexico have improved accessibility levels in recent years to attract more tourism. While there is still room for improvement when compared to the US, Canada and Western Europe, there are ample choices for desirable disabled-friendly accommodations

Travelers who enjoy vacationing in Mexico annually or more frequently may consider the option of renting or buying wheelchair-friendly timeshare accommodations. Current timeshare owners in other destinations can utilize resort exchange services like Resort Condominiums International and Interval International to visit accessible resorts in Mexico.

The following five timeshare resorts are options to consider for your vacation, based on the availability of accessible accommodations, location, amenities and services. When making reservations, contact your chosen resort directly to discuss your accessibility requirements to ensure all your needs are met.
