Avanti International Resort

Overall, this hotel offers great value for the price. It’s affordable, and I would definitely stay here again. Pros: * Excellent location, with plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and pharmacies and grocery stores just a few minutes away by car, making it very convenient for both short and long stays. * The room was very spacious and even had a microwave, which was very convenient. * The pool is large, and I saw many families enjoying it throughout the day. * The staff were very friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Lisa at the front desk, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. * Every night I had a beautiful view of fireworks from the hotel, which made my stay even more special. Cons: * There were no umbrellas by the pool loungers. The only shaded areas were the tables with chairs, so if you wanted to relax on a sun lounger, there was no protection from the sun. * The gym needs significant improvement. It was missing basic equipment like dumbbells, and it clearly lacked maintenance. Since the hotel charges a $50 resort fee, I expected the fitness facilities to be in much better condition. * The parking lot is uncovered, so cars are left in the sun all day. Desp

My son and I stayed here back in April Pros: Great location. They also have a bus that takes you to Universal. The pool area was nice. It was also easy to get things delivered Cons: Service was terrible. We were there 5 days and couldn't get any one to clean the room. I asked for a broom or and extra trash bag and noone brought anything. I pretty much had to clean the floor with the towel. They were good at bringing extra towels though. Though the pool was nice, the deep ends were not properly roped off

The location of Avanti was great, close to Universal and about 20 mins to Disney. The free shuttle buses were great for Universal but the times for Disney were poor so we ended up using Ubers for Disney days. The room was a decent size we were given block 3 top floor with a pool view which was nice. Our room was only “cleaned” once during our 14 day stay despite them saying it will be cleaned every 4 days. When I say cleaned all they did was give fresh towels and make the bed. The floors were filthy and the surfaces were thick with dust by the end of the trip. The fridge froze most things that were put in and there was no way to adjust the temperature & the shower pressure was terrible. There were multiple people sat outside their rooms on the balcony smoking weed which could be smelt from inside our room & antisocial behaviour through the night which can also be heard and very loud despite signs showing quiet hours from 10pm-7am for respect. The Starbucks at the reception was never open & the prices at the bar & grill were extortionate. The pool was a good temperature however there is no lifeguard so make sure you can swim! They only had parasols on the tables and not on any
