Wheelchair access at Geographic Restaurant and Bar, El Arenal, Javea.

When asking how wheelchair accessible is Geographic Bar and Restaurant Javea, the answer would be positive but mixed. There are several areas of seating areas at Geographic Bar and Restaurant.

Wheelchair Access inside the Geographic Restaurant and Bar

Inside the restaurant itself, it is wheelchair accessible but the tables at the front where the lovely view of the sea is, are packed into this area so you may get a feeling of being penned in. In the current climate of Covid, there is plenty of space between tables.

There is more spacious seating at the rear of the restaurant where the small cafe counter is, selling cakes and other treats. This area also has an open fire in the winter months. A real treat at Christmas time.

Accessible Terrace outside

The terrace outside is between Geographic and the bar next door. This terrace stretches around the back of Geographic as well and is level all the way around.

So what has Geographic got to offer the  disabled traveller?

Being mainly wheelchair accessible and so close to the lovely beach at El Arenal, then it has a lot to offer. We usually sit inside and have a breakfast or dinner.

TV screens show sport

There are MANY television screens at Geographic showing sport, including premiership and international football. It doesn’t have the feel of a sports bar and you can enjoy a meal or drink in peace. However, popular games may attract larger crowds and make it more difficult to move around the bar.

Is Geographic Restaurant  Accessible for wheelchair users?

Geographic is all on one level. The disabled access entrance is at the side of the restaurant. There is an approximately a one inch lip at this entrance which could be challenging for some. A large electric wheelchair, could get around but you may have to ask others to move for you. We tend to towards the rear where it is a little more spacious.

Is there a disabled toilet at Geographic Bar and Restaurant, Javea?

The disabled toilet at Geographic is located at the rear of the restaurant, through the left of the two doors and labelled ladies I’m afraid. It is spacious, however.

Would I recommend Geographic to the disabled traveller?

We enjoy going to Geographic. The food and staff are very good and we like the pub feel that geographic has. We highly recommend the English breakfast. It is particularly nice in the cooler months with the open fire and cosy feel.

La Fontana Restaurant and Bar Javea. How wheelchair accessible is it?

When asking how wheelchair accessible La Fontana bar and Restaurant is, the answer has to be yes absolutely.  And to add to this excellent accessibility, the staff are friendly and work hard to create an atmosphere that is always buzzy and fun.

Wheelchair access at La Fontana Restaurant, El Arenal, Javea.

There are several areas of seating at La Fontana. All areas are wheelchair accessible.  The first being the terrace outside which has a mixture of seating tables and barstools around barrels.

The second is inside the restaurant itself. It is wheelchair accessible but the tables are packed into this area so you may get a feeling of being penned in. Sometimes the width for a wheelchair to get through isn’t there and you end up having to ask people to move if you need to toilet or to leave. Personally, Rob would rather not sit where this is the case. In the current climate of Covid, there is plenty of space between tables.

Disabled parking for La Fontana Restaurant, Javea

There is a disabled parking space right outside the restaurant by the side terrace. It seems to be a popular parling space as it leads onto the promenade at El Arenal Beach so we have not always been successful in attaining this space. There are a variety of disabled parking spaces behind the El Arenal Beach area and you will usually find one which is free.

So what has La Fontana got to Offer?

Being fully wheelchair accessible and so close to the lovely beach at El Arenal, then it has a lot to offer. We usually sit on the side terrace which provides easy access to the disabled toilet.

Unusual drinks at La Fontana Restaurant and Bar.

If you are a spirit drinker then La Fontana is for you. They have many unusual spirits and also sell them in their on-site shop. They also sell lovely condiments and other specialist food items. Great for an unusual holiday gift!

So how wheelchair accessible is La Fontana Bar and Restaurant, Javea?

La Fontana is fully accessible for wheelchairs throughout. It is all on one level and entrances are flat. There would be space for an electric wheelchair.

Is there a disabled access toilet at La Fontana?

The disabled toilet at La Fontana Restaurant Javea is unique in that you will find it in the Gents toilet area. No, you don’t have to wheel passed men at urinals but the doorway is next to the gents’ toilet.  The doorway to the disabled toilet is not huge but Rob fitted through easily in his manual wheelchair.

Would I recommend La Fontana to the disabled traveller?

In Conclusion, we love going to La Fontana Restaurant Javea.  The staff and great, the drinks are flowing and food is excellent. The thin crispy pizzas are a must or any of the tapas as well. Go around the side terrace, you will see the bar there and be able to see the variety of spirits on offer. I believe that the bar manager would accommodate any drink request. A real favourite of ours and the locals alike.

Premium Plus Steakhouse and Cocktail bar, Moraira. How accessible it it?

When asking how wheelchair accessible Premium Plus Steakhouse Restaurant and cocktail bar is, the review is mixed. It is a specialist steakhouse and whilst the food was of a high quality the accessibility was not.

Wheelchair access at Premium Plus Steakhouse Restaurant and cocktail bar

There are two areas of seating at Premium Plus. The first being the terrace outside on ground level which is wheelchair accessible once you have crossed over a small lip.

The second is inside the  air-conditioned restaurant itself. The question as to whether this is wheelchair accessible is dependent on your needs. There is a steep 8 steps to get up to get into the indoor seating which in no way can be described as accessible for wheelchair users.

The nearest parking to Premium Plus steakhouse restaurant ad Cocktail Bar is in the main carpark behind the row of restaurants and accessible via Ave. Madrid. It is a huge car park and some of it is taken by a fairground during high season.

However, there are no allocated disabled parking spaces here. The short promenade of restaurant where Premium Plus is located is accessible from the beach car park opposite after a short walk/wheel. We chose to park in the large main car park on the end of a row of non-disabled friendly spaces as it was closer.

What has Premium Plus steakhouse and Cocktail Bar, Moraira got to offer the disabled traveller?

I’m afraid the answer to this question is not a lot. In fact, we won’t be returning. We sat on the terrace on a very hot afternoon and there was no attempt to even offer fans to cool us down.  Other diners had the choice of going up the steps into the air-conditioned restaurant. An option which a disabled traveller did not have. There was no access to the toilet as it was in the main restaurant upstairs and although it was larger than normal, that didn’t matter because you wouldn’t be able to get to it.

Is Premium Plus Steakhouse and cocktail bar  Accessible for wheelchair users?

You can have access to the terrace at the front but as a disabled traveller, there your access ends. No access to a toilet or to the bar area.

There is no accessible toilet.

In conclusion, we will not be returning.  The food, staff or ambience was not special enough to tempt us back. There are so many more restaurant in Moraira which have attempted accessibility in some way and we will be going to those in the future.
