ACCESSIBLE GEMS
(1) Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, off Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway on the Kona Kohala coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Fourteen of its 243 rooms are barrier-free suites with large roll-in showers and plenty of room for wheelchair maneuvering.
The rooms are spectacular, airy and gorgeous.
Think slate floors, a generous sitting room, functional patio furniture and dreamily comfortable beds.
The luxury resort has a portable pool lift for each of its five pools.
The lift and beach boy attendants gently placed Heidi in the fabulous waters of the oceanside Sea Shell infinity pool.
The granddaddy of all the pools is the King’s Pond, which has 2.5 million gallons of saltwater contained by lava rock and stocked with 3,500 fish representing 40 species.
With the assistance of a beach boy, Heidi was able to float among all sorts of sea creatures
A network of paved, wheelchair-accessible paths cover the lush and expertly-tended grounds. Phone: 808-325-8000.
