  Stay away from this dump

  27 May 2026

  This hotel ! On hotels.com comes up as a 4 star rating what a joke it’s a student accommodation at most a block of flats . I have a small window going onto a the foot foot way to the lift or stairs , I am expecting Al Pacino to come bursting in any moment. It’s got a noisy A/C a fridge making a hell of a noise also I’ve turned them off. There is no bottled drinks . The doors are ancient and painted by someone who doesn’t give a sh*t the ceils and walls are grotty and looks like a council flat from the 60s One word disgusting if you expect 4 stars maybe 1 PHM Guest Services, Guest Services / Front Office at Avanti International Resort, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations.We understand that every guest has different expectations when traveling, and we regret that aspects of your accommodations, including the room condition, noise levels, and overall appearance of the property, detracted from your experience.Regarding bottled beverages, Avanti International Resort offers an economically friendly lodging option in the heart of International Drive.

  Fantastic vacation

  25 May 2026

  Fantastic location , staff very nice , great amenities , lovely pool area , pool furniture looks a bit tired but not the be all and end all On site Starbucks which was a welcome treat , very close to all attractions ! The only downside was we weren’t told on checking in that we had to request our room to be cleaned , we figured that out after 4 days , cleaning was basic , no surfaces or floor cleaned . Fridge didn’t work but we ended up buying a cool box from Walmart , other than that we can’t fault the place at all PHM Guest Services, Guest Services / Front Office at Avanti International Resort, responded to this review Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

  Would happily return

  25 May 2026

  Having read the reviews on social media, it was with some trepidation that we went off on holiday, staying at the Avanti International Resort. There was no need to be concerned at all over the reviews, as we found the hotel to be absolutely fine and would happily book to go back. We requested a room in block 2 and although this was not possible for the first night, on the second day we moved rooms and could not have been happier with the overall experience. Room was fine (block 2 has the refurbished rooms), overlooking the pool. On a couple of days there was a shortage of pool towels but that was the extent of the issues. I had read that you could not get a sun lounger all day; people were waiting to be let in at 7.00am to reserve their bed and then disappear for the day; the pool area was dirty, strewn with litter. Every day there were plenty of beds available - irrespective of what time you went to the pool. There were the typical selfish holiday makers who put towels on the beds and disappeared for the day - but as mentioned, there were still always plenty of beds available. The pool area was cleaned daily. I would say that if there was any litter left around, this was entirely due to lazy holiday makers. Most days people would sit at the table and chairs with food from the poolside bar .. finish eating and then walk off leaving all the empty containers behind!!! They obviously thought this acceptable and unfortunately, the majority of the offenders were from the UK. Our room was "refreshed" on a daily basis and bedding changed every 4 days (another horror story was that there were continual queues in reception asking for clean towels and toilet paper). Never saw a queue in reception once, let alone asking for towels and toilet rolls.All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Yes, the "shop" was expensive but no more so than every other shop on-site in hotels on International Drive/Lake Buena Vista but Walgreens/Plaza Liquor is only a few minutes walk away if it was a real issue to pay on-site prices.Overall, I would happily return. You have to remember that this is classed as a "budget" hotel and you have to go with those expectations - you are not going to get a 5* experience for the cost of a family-friendly budget holiday. Yes, there were a couple of things that would have improved the aesthetics of the hotel, but definitely not enough for me complain or not book a return stay.My recommendation would be to ignore the bad reviews (especially on social media) and go and see for yourself.
