Suggestions for limited mobility travelers

[pyropoodle]

Hi all,

 

so, I'm taking my mom and her best friend on a cruise in January and I'm looking for a beach suggestion for these two ladies who have a few mobility issues. they both walk, but we have one knee replacement and one with neuropathy so she can't walk huge long distances. also, they are both non-drinkers. I myself can go anywhere. I have been to Playa Mia (once) and to Nachi Cocom (3 times, I really love this place) but with two non-drinkers, it isn't worth the 50 bucks entry to the latter.

 

We are looking for some place that will be under $50, still possibly have chairs (for them, i'm good with my towel on the groung or my butt bobbing in the water) and food (either buffet or pay as you go) and easy access to the water (i.e. no steps going down into the water)

 

the only place that a friend suggested is Chankaaabbb (have no idea how to spell that). If anyone has been there or has any suggestions as to what to do with these lovely ladies, I would really appreciate it.

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and respond.

Chankanaab is a long walk from the parking lot to the beach - you might be better off at Paradise Beach or Mr. Sanchos; both are pay-as-you-go beach clubs not too far from Nachi.

thanks for that info. i'll cross it off of the list and look into the others.

I was also going to suggest Paradise Beach. Waiters will bring food you choose off a menu to your chairs. Nice pool area with gentle entry.

that's another check in the column for Paradise beach. i really haven't read very many bad reviews about it. i really think this will be the best option. thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
