Some resorts have made important strides in physical accessibility, while others have developed dedicated autism support. Saint Charlie Resorts builds on that progress with a coordinated family experience designed to welcome, celebrate, and support medically stable guests across a broad spectrum of developmental, sensory, cognitive, and physical needs. This includes guests with autism, Down syndrome, or cerebral palsy; wheelchair users; and guests with hearing or visual impairments.

Communication differences, sensory needs, mobility requirements, and dietary restrictions can make family travel difficult. In a survey of 1,000 parents of autistic children cited by the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=8k0CRnTTpONpI6g5bZIEFTb3_ZEY76JE7r3NehaX3DuCYx5gnFgNCht4rrx8O0naGxGOYw1mC7Nx6eWuDnymdRuhihJ0wza3nQi72GqS8Pejbz3t94fapf4FwFMGekfIA_5Qk1jqAwMdQlqavDwwnIt2-9vtpLp4Slu2diMRbE9YyoNBABE86qn-IJOt3j-fyLKcgcaeHrlx3XbWvJhxYNe1fPKNkWKMHFy33BvASpvDPt61YG0hrVx-6m0Z5XKS" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards">International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards</a>, 87% said they did not take family vacations—a gap Saint Charlie Resorts aims to address. The resort brings five commitments into one coordinated stay: pre-arrival planning, structured safety procedures, specially trained staff, adapted activities, and opportunities for parents and siblings to rest. A dedicated guardian and family concierge role provides extended blocks of one-on-one guest support so other family members can relax. The role provides hospitality support, not clinical care or legal guardianship, with clear boundaries and supervisor oversight. “The whole idea is that families should not have to lower their expectations for what a vacation can be simply because someone they love has special needs,” said Dr. Charlie. “We are building a place where families are expected, understood, and welcomed, and where participation and family time are designed into the experience from the beginning.” The flagship property is being developed through the renovation of an existing resort in the Riviera Maya, with additional sites under consideration across the Caribbean and Latin America. About Saint Charlie Resorts Saint Charlie Resorts is a hospitality concept being developed by Solo Vive for families with members who have special needs or disabilities. Its model combines pre-arrival planning, trained guest support, adapted activities, sensory-aware environments, individualized dining considerations, and opportunities for parent and sibling relief. Its flagship Riviera Maya property is expected to open in 2027.
