We stayed at the Vibe for just one night (unfortunately) on our road-
trip from Brisbane to Sydney. Our room had a great view looking over the marina and towards the hills. We were up early in the morning for coffee on our balcony watching the hot air balloons taking off in the distance.

The Vibe is a very clean & modern hotel in an excellent location.

Highlights for us:

* the view from our room at sunset/sunrise

* dinner at the Bahia Restaurant in Main Beach [where they serve kangaroo steak on a ‘Hot Rock’]

* 5 minute drive to Seaworld

We would love to have had more time to spend in the area and would definitely stay at the Vibe again.

This was our next destination after Brisbane. The hotel was trendy and clean. The staff were also friendly.

We had a sea view, really nice, only thing, the traffic noise, but cant complain as we were very rarely at the hotel.

Would go back. Loved the wee pub just next to it, always had a seat overlooking the water.

Avoid schoolies week early november.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights early May 08. We booked through wotif.com because it appeared good value for money and a good location. The location lived up to our expectations as did the value for money ($130 per night) with the room being clean and spacious. The view was fantastic with a 180 panorama of the canals and hills (if possible ask to be on the west side other wise you will have views of buildings). The only real down falls was the shower was very low which was awkward for my boyfriend whos 6f3'. Oh and make sure you put the do not disturb sign up if you like to sleep in because the housekeeping ladies rock up spot on 9am (usually while we were still in bed). The service was very good and the girls very nice and helpful. There seemed to be quite a few young people staying here so i would recomend it for those under 30 but older people would probably enjoy as well.

Very clean and well maintained modern hotel, with clean sleek lines. The room was smaller than I'd expect for a 4* but ample big enough. Very nice, modern and clean bathroom with a shower over the bath. Our room was on the front of the hotel and the noise level was quite an issue, We were on the 22nd floor, so it must have been terrible for those on the lower levels. Our room also had a 'sea view', although thankfully we hadn't paid for it. Yes, you can see the sea, but through the buildings opposite. The rooms on the back seemed quieter. The lobby area is fine - quite basic but clean and welcoming, and the reception staff were very helpful in booking our transport to Brisbane. The hotel has a pool at the back of it overlooking the lagoon which is really peaceful. The pool itself is quite small, but the terrace area is quite a sun trap as the beach is in shade quite early. There's also a small gym with a few weight, treadmill.....not really sure as I only peeped in, but looked like modern equipment! The breakfast was $25 , very overpriced for average food. We only went once as we thought it poor value for money. The location of the hotel is great. Only a few minutes walk to the nightlife, and 5 mins to the beach. There is a security system in place in the hotel, and you need to swipe your room card to enter the lobby at night.
All in all, a good value hotel in a great location. I wouldn't stay here again, but that's mainly because of the noise from the road. I'd rate it a good 3*.
