2026 Caribbean resort elevator & step-free building directory
Building-by-building elevator directory and ADA accessibility notes across Sandals and Beaches resorts.
Not every Caribbean resort building has an elevator. Newer resorts in the Sandals resort directory like Sandals Dunn's River (SDR), Sandals Royal Curacao (SCR), and Sandals Saint Vincent (SSV) have elevator access in multi-story blocks, while older two-story and three-story villages require requesting an elevator wing or ground-floor suite before arrival.
