Ready to attend disabled persons

Having a disability should neither prevent nor limit anyone from enjoying his or her stay in Puerto Rico. As part of the Americans with Disabilities Act, hotels, airports and public transportation systems must be equipped with disabled-friendly equipment. So leave your worries back home and get ready to relax and enjoy your time off.
