Great as a base, the Avanti Resort is set in the heart of International Drive, in the middle of all the attractions and entertainment you could ask for. Not only are you right there for all the major theme parks, but you’ve also got movie theatres, restaurants galore, clubs and bars to cover the whole family’s entertainment. There's plenty to enjoy at the resort as well, with a large pool, sandy man-made beach with sun terrace and loungers, a gym, and a games room for the youngsters. You might want to extend your holiday to fit all of that in!

The cleaning in the room

This is our 4th time staying here and sadly I felt it had gone downhill since we were last there 2 years ago.
The location is amazing , a stones throw from so many places to eat, mini golf, ikon park and the pointe and a short drive to Disney, universal and SeaWorld.

This is our 4th time staying here and sadly I felt it had gone downhill since we were last there 2 years ago.
The location is amazing , a stones throw from so many places to eat, mini golf, ikon park and the pointe and a short drive to Disney, universal and SeaWorld.
Pool area is super. Gym is very small but has decent equipment and is well air conditioned.
Whilst the reception area , pool area etc are all kept lovely and clean, we were massively let down by the cleanliness of the room. Under the beds was thick with dirt / dust. Cleaning is only done once every 4 days and 2 towels were left each time for 4 people. We were there 17 nights and our room didn't even get cleaned every 4 days in spite of me repeatedly having to ask at reception and inform them we had run out of loo roll and towels yet again. The room is basic which is fine but there is literally nowhere to even hang anything - a wardrobe with no hangers and one solitary hook on the back of the bathroom door for an odd towel. No idea where people are meant to hang towels or wet swimsuits or anything.
4 people sharing a room definitely needed more than a half attempt at a clean 3 times in 17 nights - we felt like we were living in filth.
I found most staff to be pleasant apart from one lady who seemed to be at the bar in the evenings - she was downright rude when I was struggling with a language barrier when trying to communicate with another member of staff.
Overall I was pretty disappointed this time unfortunately - we would still consider going back here mainly due to the location but something needs to be done about the room cleaning situation.

Visited this hotel several years ago and all was fine, basic but fine.
Visitors must be aware of the $19 +tax a day resort fee. Our bill came to £236 for our two week stay.

Visitors must be aware of the $19 +tax a day resort fee. Our bill came to £236 for our two week stay.
This year was awful. The hotel is right next to a large building site where construction starts just after 6am and the sound of construction is horrendous. The constant Beep Beep of reversing diggers and dump trucks is horrendous and will wake the heaviest of sleeper. Construction carries on until 11pm.
Complained to the hotel management twice but was told there were no alternative rooms available.
On the first night we found our Air conditioning didn't work. We complained and had it fixed only for it to leak water ..... continually.
This is clearly a budget hotel, that unfortunately attracts some budget guests.
I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone or stay here again.

We stayed at the Avanti for 3 weeks. The hotel is very basic but fine for what we needed. The staff are very friendly, helpful and the food is nice! However...the drink prices are extortionate $10 for one can of budweiser, you can buy a whole box at the local shop for the same price but youre not allowed to take your own drink to the pool. The rooms are quite spacious but cleaners do not come daily, usually only every 2/3 days, that wasn't ideal! I placed an amazon order whilst there (3 items) and the standard charge for reception to hold them is $10 per item, i had asked staff before placing the order and nothing was mentioned until my delivery arrived!! Finally, on arrival I was asked to pay a $100 refundable deposit, I only received $50 back (with no explanation, room was immaculate when we left!) I have tried to call, message and email Avanti to find out where the rest of my deposit is and I have still not had a response, I've since escalated this with Virgin in the hope of getting my money back!!!
