Avanti International Resort

Seen & Said

had a great stay at Avanti on International Drive! I booked the King Suite and was pleasantly surprised by how modern the room felt. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I loved having both an in-room refrigerator and a couch — it made the space feel more like a mini suite than just a standard hotel room. The pool area is definitely a highlight. It’s beautiful and well kept, and the swim-up tiki bar really adds to the vacation vibe. It’s such a fun touch and makes it easy to relax without even leaving the water. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would definitely consider staying here again when I’m in the area.

I came to visit my sister at this hotel. I'm from florida but t never been to this place iits family oriented fun with a fabulous staff.the rooms have a lot of space and a big tv. Very accommodating!!I stopped by the pool had some drink at the bar with Derrick the best barte der here by far!! There was a DJ Reloop he was terrific really great play list. He knows how to marry the crowd with the songs it was uplifting and fun. Definitely had me dancing in and out of my seat. The bisto has some great noshes. Definitely a great da.

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst “resort” stays we’ve ever experienced. First and foremost, the website descriptions and photos are extremely misleading. It appears that only a few rooms have been renovated and photographed for marketing purposes, or the images are otherwise not representative of the property at all. We planned to stay for four nights and left abruptly the morning after our first night. I do want to note that the two front desk staff members we interacted with were genuinely kind, professional, and understanding. Unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of our stay. This property is a motel at best. We stayed in Building 1, and walking to our room immediately raised red flags. Several ground floor doors were propped open, there was a strong smell of marijuana, and the overall atmosphere gave us a strong sense of feeling unsafe. Our room was supposedly “upgraded” upon arrival, which honestly made us concerned about what our original room would have been like. The room had visible mildew in the shower, a dirty humidifier, stained towels, and multiple flies and spiders. The refrigerator was not cold, and the room had essentially no sound insulation (you could hear everything), which further reinforced that this is not a resort as advertised. Most concerning were the serious safety issues. The door did not lock properly, forcing us to barricade it overnight. There was approximately a half inch gap under the door. The large window did not lock and could be pushed open from the outside. Even with a stopper, it still opened about six inches which is more than enough space for someone to reach in with an object to unlock the door. The inside of the window was also filthy. After leaving, we took a deeper look at reviews (which we admittedly should have done more thoroughly beforehand) and found many similar complaints, including reports of break ins and stolen items. Even without knowing this initially, we felt unsafe from the moment we arrived. We did not use the pool or other amenities, as we did not feel comfortable staying on the property. Ultimately, our safety and comfort were not worth the proximity to the parks. When we checked into another hotel and explained our experience, the staff there shared that they had heard similar stories before and have accommodated guests who relocated from this property. We do appreciate that we were refunded for the nights we did not stay without having to ask (we were fully prepared to absorb the cost as a learning experience). We also appreciated that the front desk staff listened to our concerns during our early checkout and were not dismissive. I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews, but I would hate for other travelers or families to have the same experience. This property needs to be advertised honestly for what it is… a cheap motel, not a resort.

The location & nightly price was ideal. Customer service when checking in & out was friendly & seamless. The room looked just as it did when we viewed it online, however upon further inspection there were things that stood out that would make me hesitant to book here or again or refer this hotel to anyone. The shower had visible mold in it & the ceiling looked like it was ready to collapse at any moment from water damage. The bathroom sink would fill up with water whenever we washed our hands or brushed our teeth . We also found dried boogers on the shower wall as well as the bathroom door near the door knob. We chose not to make a big fuss bc we only stayed one night, but these are definitely issues that need to be addressed.

Great location. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Pool and surrounding areas were clean. My son and I visited in February 2026 before the UK school half term which is a quiet season. Only downside for this hotel is I could hear trucks/coaches pulling in to the parking area from around 6am but I am a light sleeper. Good value for money.
