About Craig
I'm a paraplegic from the UK but I've spent the last 6 years in Barcelona Spain where I set up www.accessiblebarcelona.co m I'm now living in Nicaragua setting up tours for disabled people. I love staying in small hotels off the beaten track but accessible ones are hard to find.

Craig,

I second Scott's comments on your review - nicely done!

Your point about being able to guarantee an accessible room at booking is a good one. As VibeAgent is a meta-search site, we aggregate pricing and availability from multiple partners, both OTAs and the hotel chains directly. As such, and you rightfully point this out, we don't process the bookings ourselves, and thus can't facilitate or guarantee specific rooms.

However, we can work with you going forward to communicate the importance of this feature to our hotel and OTA partners, and hopefully, as we grow in stature in the marketplace, acting as a consumer advocate, we can use our leverage to create action.

Either way, I hope you'll find VibeAgent's social networking tools and review- integrated hotel search a useful service in sharing information with fellow travelers.

Please don't hesitate to provide any additional feedback to me directly at any time. We'll do whatever we can to accommodate you.

Cheers,

Adam
VibeAgent CEO
The only concern with VibeAgent is that when disabled people see reviews of suitable hotels, will they actually be able to reserve GUARANTEED accessible rooms online through the site? I tried to do this in Barcelona several years ago and the booking systems didn't allow it on the web or on the hotel automatic reservation system. I ended up giving up and making reservations for my clients directly over the phone with the hotels.

The reviews are great, but we need an online guaranteed booking service for this to be of true value.
Craig, This is exactly the sort of detail - photos and all - that I think VibeAgent lends itself to and we need as a community. I don't know where I go next after Thailand but I'll be watching your reviews to help me select hotels. Thanks!
So I moved to Nicaragua almost two months ago, the difference between Barcelona, Spain and Matagalpa, Nicaragua has been quite a culture shock! I've been traveling around a bit and working out how to set up routes in Nicaragua, to keep up with my travels in Central America check out my blog:
