Hi; We have been there twice. Seven years ago I was still able to walk unaided and stayed at Natura Park Resort. It was nice and not real big but there is a large set of stairs as you arrive at the resort and I hadn't noticed any wheelchair access as I wasn't really looking for it. Five years ago we stayed at the Catalona Bavaro resort and then I was using a cane and I can't remember there being anyplace that might be unaccessable with a wheelchair although the place is big and spread out. I wish I could be more help. Jim

Hi again: I just wanted to add a little more advice. Go under TNT Vacations web site and go under Punta Cana. They list all the resorts that they serve and there is a row of icons that show the ammenities offered including handicap rooms. I did notice this at a couple of the resorts. You could also check out GWV travel but their web site doesnt say anything about if the resorts are accessible to us or not. I have been checking out their sites because we are looking at going to Cozumel or Playa Del Carmen this winter. We also have a contact at AAA travel who books our trips for us and is getting me some info now, so this might be another option for you. Good luck Jim
