Sunshine Vista disable room

[LilWilly 0]

Has anyone stayed in or seen one of the disable rooms at the Sunshine Vista and can describe the facilities (bathroom/shower) and the room itself?

 

My powerchair is large and I require

- a minimum 76cm (30 inchs) width in doorways

- about 106cm (3.5 feet) clear on one side of the bed.

- an area of 150cm x 150cm (5x5 feet) to turn the chair around without banging into furniture.

 

I've received a response for my reservation request and I'm a little leery of paying the full amount 3 1/2 months in advance of my arrival.

I stayed Sun Shine Vista with my wife in wheel chair.

We stayed in exective studio but I saw the room for disabled person.

 

I don't remember exactry about the room. But I have a vivid recollection of my thought that the bath room is very small.

 

- a minimum 76cm (30 inchs) width in doorways

 

I am not sure but I think the door width is more than 76 cm. But in the bath room, I remember, you should walk a few steps to the toilet as the entrance of the toilet is narrow.

You shoul drive very carefully in the bath room----you cannot turn the chair so you may need eyes on your back.

 

- about 106cm (3.5 feet) clear on one side of the bed.

 

If you move the bed to one side, the other side may have enough clearance.

 

- an area of 150cm x 150cm (5x5 feet) to turn the chair around without banging into furniture.

 

u--n, ??.

 

 

At the entrance of the hotel, there is a step, it's aboout 5 - 8 cm high. Can your wheel chair break over this ? After that thre is rapid slope. It's hard to drive by a non-powered wheelchair. After the slope, there was another step to enter the hotel building. When there was a boy, he helped us.

The slope is narrow, and it bends at right angle.

 

----------------------------

As for my wife, she went to the bath room entrance by wheel chair, and then walk in. She can walk if there is a handrail. I bought bars with springs that adjustable to desired lengths at Big C. With the bar and the suction cups brought from home, I made handrails in the bathroom.

You had better to ask the hotel. There maynot be anybody who are fluent in English, so the hotel will not answer your question. Try to ask Mr. Klein who is a Sun Shine Group Assistant Manager. He maybe helpful for you.
