VibeAgent

by Sherry on November 21st, 2007

There’s another great site that has been recently launched for travel fanatics, and it’s really the kind of site I’m loving more and more. Nothing personal against travel agents, because they’re awesome too (and I studied Travel & Tourism for that purpose myself once upon a lifetime, pre-kids) but not every travel agent has been to every place you want to visit. As a result, they give you the best generic info they can but there’s nothing personal about it.

VibeAgent is another great personalized human-touch website that will give you access to personal stories. You can read a travel guide to try to figure out which hotel you should stay in when you reach your chosen destination, but with VibeAgent you can read the opinions of people who actually stayed in that very hotel. Maybe the book makes it sound classy and it looks good in pictures, but if 75% of the people on the site mention that the service was slow or unfriendly, you can use that information to find youself a better option.

Not only can you search a location for a good hotel, you can further specify what type of place you need. If you’re traveling with a light wallet, you can choose to only see hotels that keep a small budget in mind. If you’re going on your honeymoon, search for romantic hotels that will go that extra mile to make sure you have a very swoon-worthy stay. Want to make sure you’re in a hotel that is smack dab in the middle of Mardi Gras or Spring Break festivities? Choose to search for a lively hotel.

The site may be fairly new but the information available is quite extensive and may keep you busy for quite some time as you sit and poke around to find your dream hotel.
