Guest Reviews
- H6222FRdarrenp (10/5): No smoking should be enforced - This was our third stay and overall a great stay once again, the only criticism is that there is a smoking and vape ban but when we are at the pool area this is not enforced as many people smoking and vaping and the occasional smell of weed.
- 781balwinderk (10/5): Bar side - Chasity she’s absolutely lovely so cheerful so humble so kinat t she knows how to entertain people on the bar she’s so funny my daughter said she deserves 10 out of 10 and so do I think she’s so kind she knows how to talk to customers and make them happy. She’s an absolutely a lovely lady. So I will give her 10 out of 10 for her survey if I could, I’ll give more. . Pav ❤️

- Ruslan (3/5): - זה לא באמת מלון, זה אכסניה
ניקיון הכי גרוע שחוויתי, שיערות במקלחות, אבק בחדרים.
מקרר לא עבד
כספת הגיעה עם סוללות בחוץ ובלי מכסה לסוללות, וחתיכת מסקנטייפ כדי להדביק אותם
- Odum (10/5): - Good
- Jet43144843646 (4/5): Needs a good clean - It gets 2 stars because of the of the location. The room was filthy, you could visibly see on a gray floor dirt and hair. I'd say they brush rather than hoover so just flick it around, guaranteed it's never mopped. Room service is every 4 days if your lucky you'll have to make a towel last. Didn't try the pool the bed hoggers were up bright and early. There were a lot of deliveries in the night so reversing alarms at all hours, never slept more than 3/4 hours. No I'd never go back.

- Erinmurphy11 (4/5): We managed but overall poor - We stayed at the Avanti during our trip to Disney and Universal. We were looking for something “cheap and cheerful” but still comfortable and liveable given our stay was for 14 nights.
To start, I will say overall the hotel was average and we managed fine. A lot of the time we were out at the parks so the time spent at the hotel was minimal. We were either back ready for bed or spending afternoons resting by the pool.
The hotel is in a brilliant location. Right on International Drive, surrounded by bars, restaurants and attractions like Icon Park and Ripleys.
The hotel is a short car journey from Universal, and about 20-30mins drive from Walt Disney World.
The hotel offered free shuttle buses which we were really excited to make use of during our stay. Once we got there and found out the bus times, we were only able to use the service for our days at Universal. The bus times for the Disney parks just simply were not adequate, as the buses were due a good hour or maybe more after the parks had opened.
This is not advertised anywhere online and we found this disappointing, as it meant we had to get Ubers to and from the Disney Parks.
The room was bigger than we expected. This was good.
The bed was comfortable.
However, in terms of cleanliness, we felt that the room wasn’t as clean as it could be. We managed, but it was pretty poor.
The floor was always really dirty, our feet would often be covered in dust / dirt just from walking from the bed to the bathroom.
We were told upon check in that the cleaning schedule for our room was every 4 days. Our room was only cleaned once during our 14 night stay.
We found this to be extremely poor, especially when we saw cleaners out in the mornings so it was clear our room had been skipped / missed.
This meant that we had a built up of dirt and dust around our room. This was in our bath tub and on other surfaces in the room.
This also meant that our towels were not replaced as often as they should’ve been, meaning we had to call down to the reception a lot to ask for clean towels. This was the same for toilet paper.
I will say the staff were excellent with this. If there was anything you needed I.e towels, toilet roll, they were more than happy to bring them to your door. This was a nice touch.
The pool was great. During our rest days, we spent time around the pool and really enjoyed it. One thing to mention though, is there wasn’t any umbrellas to cover the sunbeds, which meant your sunbed is literally out in direct sun all day.
This could be uncomfortable for those who do not like to sit in direct sun or for children.
I would also just like to highlight the prices for food and drink both at the pool bar & the shop. Very very unnecessarily expensive. I feel this could be improved especially at a budget hotel.
Some evenings when we were trying to sleep, we could hear other guests on the balcony who were very loud during the”quiet hours”. I feel this could be managed better.
I would also like to highlight the fact that guests were able to stand on the balconies and smoke weed which has a very strong smell and made our room smell for days.
I think this is really really poor and unfair on other guests. This needs to absolutely be stopped and managed better.
The overall safety of the hotel felt pretty poor too. There was no lifeguard by the pool. I do feel this is a total risk and needs to be reviewed.
Each block of the hotel is entirely open meaning anyone can just walk up the stairs to the rooms. I did feel that this was quite unsafe and could be improved massively. Maybe by needing a hotel room key to access the stairs / lifts.
The last thing I’d like to add is regarding the “free gift” we were offered at the beginning of our stay. My partner spoke to a member of staff at the concierge desk who advised that all guests are eligible for a free gift as part of their stay. A lot of the options included discounts on attractions around Orlando, or $150.
We were very impressed by this at first considering our disappointment with the shuttle bus service to Disney World. We thought the gift would cover our transport to and from Disney.
My partner was told to go back to the concierge desk before 9pm that day to claim our free gift. When he went to collect it, the member of staff had gone home.
When my partner went back the next day to discuss claiming our “free gift” he was told we would only be eligible if we spent a day at a golf course nearby, a full day tour of the course and we would receive the dollars.
We politely declined at this stage.
I find this extremely unacceptable. The first staff member did not mention this at all and it all felt a little bit unprofessional and rude.
It is no secret that Orlando is a dream holiday for so many, the fact that hotel staff expect holiday makers to use an entire day out of their dream holiday to do a tour of a golf course is really insulting.
People like ourselves spent a fortune to be there. It was really poor the way this was offered and expected.
Overall, our stay at the Avanti International Resort was manageable but I likely wouldn’t recommend this hotel and definitely wouldn’t look to stay again in the future.
I would definitely suggest saving that little bit extra to stay at a better hotel. When it says budget, they really do mean budget.
We managed, but there are many many improvements that need to be made here.
- paulwM5258HE (2/5): The Avanti is a filthy, grubby, cess pit of a hotel - Think of the worse hotel you've ever stayed in and double how bad it is......
The Avanti is a filthy, grubby, cess pit of a hotel.
The rooms are filthy, if you look at the official pics you'll think its a different hotel!
When we were there the police were there all the time, people getting arrested etc. Teenagers running riot etc. Weed being smoked around the pool.
Honestly would not stay here again if its was free.
They know its close to things on Int Drive so don't give a monkeys how bad it is.

- Gregory (9/5): Overall Solid Choice, Most Covenient To Icon Park! - Amenities. Fridge and microwave in room. Lots of pillows. Pleasant community guesthouse area and snack/coffee shop with deep end pool. Rather updated. Nice AC. Rooms seem to rather echo. No lounge area in room made it feel very sterile and detached. Outside of rooms need to be modernized like interior. Add curtains to give a filtered option and discretely allow FL light to come in.

- nicolexrock (10/5): Great stay! Great location! Special staff! - Me and my partner arrived back in october 2025 for 2 weeks and had a great stay at this resort. I stayed here a couple years previously with family and decided to return and it was the same as last time! Very clean rooms which had housekeeping in everyday to clean it up, Shane was so helpful with moving us the next day after our arrival as there was an issue with the room. He really went above and beyond for us which we very much so appreciated.
The location of this resort is second to none, it’s in the heart of international drive. You’re close to restaurants and bars here and also very close to universal studios.
Very nice atmosphere in reception and the pool area, just good vibes. No issues with noise and we were on the ground level our whole stay and did not find an issue with noise and im a light sleeper!
We had a very special trip due to Jeff who works at the pool bar, What a lovely man he really made our trip extra special.. he’s great at what he does and i hope he stays around the avanti for a long time! Me and my partner are returning October 2026 to the avanti and we cannot wait to be back.
- Łukasz (10/5): -
- JeKayla (8/5): Great overall stay - Great location, great amenities! My shower looked that it needed major work done but the tiles were poorly fixed. Eye sore in my opinion. Also the desk chair looked like it was handled poorly.
- Lansing (8/5): -
- Maurice (6/5): -
- Wesley (7/5): Goede locatie maar niet voor herhaling vatbaar - Locatie, shuttle service, zwembad. Schoonmaak om de 4 dagen niet handig, vochtige kamers ondanks ontvochtiger en airco die hele nacht aan blijft.
- Scott (3/5): Bare bones felt like a motel 6 big brother - Prime location & pool fairly nice Room very disappointing. Body hair in bath tub drain, water pressure terrible scorching hot water if turned too much.
Stains and flies on bed sheets , bed on far with a economy lodge.
Location is great and has free parking so if your on a tight budget it's great but definitely not a resort in my opinion.
Windows blinds were screwed down with hardware , had a pool view Room and couldn't raise the blinds.
Candy wrappers under the bed , hair and just felt dirty.
If it wasn't for the Location it felt like a motel 6 off the interstate for a quick pip stop.
Pool was nice but online photos were very deceiving, not as large or inviting as it leads you to believe. Didn't use spa due to water very cloudy & foamy which is due to unsanitary water chemistry.
- Alyssa (10/5): Great price for the area, comfortable stay - The location is great, walking distance to tons of places to eat and drink, short drive to Universal. Free parking!! You'd think all hotels normally do but in this area we could find any. The beds are very comfortable and everything worked this time for us (we stayed a couple months ago with some issues). The pool is large and heated and the hot tub was nice. We did complain about some noisy guests last stay and it seems like maybe they heard that a lot as they sent put reminders every night to remind guests to quiet down after a certain time. No complaints this time :)
- Eric (8/5): - My room wasn't clean
- Yadira (10/5): -
- Nelson (10/5): Un fin de semana súper especial - Todo fue excelente
- kingseany94 (8/5): A great first stay with very little issue. - This was our first time staying in Orlando and at this hotel.
We had read a lot of mixed reviews and had even had mixed from others that stayed here too.
Pros:
Great location on IDrive and an easy place to get to both Disney and Universal.
Our room was clean and tidy, cleaned everyday by the cleaners apart from the bed sheets being changed which wasn’t an issue.
The door had part of it broken when we arrived but once we informed reception, maintenance got it fixed promptly.
The staff and both reception and in the bar/grill area were both helpful and friendly.
The hotel provided a bus shuttle for the parks each day on a first come first serve basis via an online booking system which worked well for us when we needed it.
By the pool which was cleaned regularly and the area around it tidied, the hotel supplies their own towels to be used which saved us using our own.
Cons:
There was a gap between the door and the frame of the main room door which let light, noise and a draft in.
Windows and walls seemed very thin, so outside noise was quite loud.
The grill is supposed to be open until 11pm, which is stated both of posters around the hotel and in the welcome pack. We found it closed sometimes just after 10pm, even the shop would be locked at 10:30pm.
Ice machine on floor 4 of block 2 didn’t work for the 2 weeks that we stayed.
The shower wasn’t cleaned during our visit but this also was not an issue for us.
Bus Service:
The bus shuttle was very poor, one bus was so loud you couldn’t hear each other talk without shouting when sat next to each other. There was another bus that didn’t speak any English and barely acknowledged you we you got on the bus. This same driver pulled onto a grass verge just outside the Disney resorts to fill up the bus with oil, didn’t tell anyone here was doing this and left us with no AC whilst doing so.
Another driver who drove yet another loud bus was speeding to get us back to the hotel all whislt blasting out loud music.
Overall for our first time staying here, it was well suited for us and we had no major issues with the hotel in general and would recommend staying here as a couple.
- Mark (10/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): - On international drive, so great for restaurants and bars
Free parking was a great bargain Only having room serviced every 4 days (says 3 on paperwork). Although we were only there for 3 nights. So didn’t run out of anything except cups.
- David (2/5): -
- Diana (10/5): Excellent - Location, cleanliness, accessibility. Nothing
- Samantha (6/5): Loud, cheap and disappointing. - Location to the Universal parks It felt very cheap. We didn’t have a tub and the shower curtain wouldn’t stay closed because the shower rod was too loose.
The towel bar fell and looked as though it had fallen before.
The property sends out text messages about quite hours but we had people outside our room on the first floor being slamming doors and screaming at each other until 2 in the morning and two nights later someone else playing their car radio until midnight. It wasn’t a great experience especially with little ones. We also checked in late and house keeping was gone so we couldn’t get a crib until the next day even though you have to put ages on your booking we were not accommodated

- Paul (6/5): The Hotel was fine, but Bus service TERRIBLE !!! - The Hotel was fine, staff very friendly. But the bus service to Disney was terrible, to the point the bus has to stop in the middle of the road and put oil in !!!! Bus service to Disney, it was terrible. Never on-time buses were such poor quality and putting peoples lives at risk.

- Muhannad (6/5): -
- David (10/5): Mother's day weekend - Our room close to the handicap parking and the next to the hallway to that parking. Short distance to the ice machine. Liked that they had luggage cart in that hallway. GREAT BANG FOR THE BUCK. Oh oh, there are several areas for pets and proper bags and disposal. Would definitely stay there again That the staff riding in golf carts park in the handicap parking spaces without any regard to the American with Disabilities act. After this I'm sure you'll designate a couple of spots just for them to park...no guests just them. Nothing against them, I'm sure they're just doing their jobs as effectively as they can.

- kevinmV7850CD (4/5): Mediocre hotel - Stayed at the Avanti back in 2018 , So thought I’d give it a go again after staying at the Coco-Key in 2024. The Coco-Key was pretty good , but area wise i personally thought the Avanti was better , I only wish now I’d stayed at the Coco-Key again. Firstly the “resort fees”which are a complete joke , as every other hotel in the world supplies you with wi-fi and the use of it’s swimming pool “on which il go into shortly” as part of its services , so why should you pay $15 a day plus tax for it ? We also didn’t hire a car so had no use for the car park , and we didn’t use the theme park shuttles either as they didn’t suit our times. We arrived at 8:15 pm yet got charged a full days worth of resort fee ? And also on the leaving day , you have to check out the room by 11 , yet still get charged a full days resort fee.
Like many other hotels , this has also fell foul to “sun lounger hoggers” mainly by the Brits / Irish and nine times out of ten it’s the usual suspects , in the old granny on the mobility scooter or the 20 stone mum , out at the crack of dawn flinging there towels down for the rest of the family that come waddling down at lunch time. I really wish the hotel would put up signs stating that if a lounger lays unused for 30 mins or longer then you have the right to claim it. So be warned as pathetic as it sounds , if you’re not out before 8.30 in the morning , then you won’t get a lounger.
The maids never once gave clean bed sheets during our 14 night stay either , they came in and made the beds but never changed them. The floors are also black and I mean black , walk around the floor in white socks or bare feet for 5 mins and then look at your feet , so the tiled floors need steamed cleaned. It never helped that during our stay there was a world wide cheer leading competition on as well , were there was opposing dads fighting a few nights so there was a police presence on more than one occasion. Thats not the hotels fault I suppose but it just added to an overall poor stay , and I definitely won’t be back.
- Karen (10/5): - Reading the other reviews I was apprehensive in staying here…I’m glad I took a chance. Staff was great, room was nice…wasn’t dirty. Property and pool very nice.
- Desire (6/5): Good for the price but poor customer service. - Your location is great and I love your pool. The first night I arrived, the elevator was out of service and my room was located on the 4th floor. Security apologized and informed us we would have to take the stairs because they were unable to change our room. Unfortunately, no assistance was offered to help carry our luggage upstairs, which was very disappointing.
The next morning, I attempted to get the complimentary breakfast. At first, I went to the wrong location, but the front desk directed me to the correct area. However, once I arrived, the lady and gentleman working there informed me that I needed to go back and get a voucher in order to eat. At that point, we decided to leave and purchase breakfast elsewhere.
Overall, I did not appreciate how the situation was handled, and the experience made me feel singled out and uncomfortable. I felt unwelcome, and that is not something any guest should experience during their stay.

- Esteban (9/5): Great place to stay on a budget. - Great location, nice perks for theme park visitors. If you only want to visit the parks and save some money on rental vehicles, you can request a shuttle bus for Universal parks with a concierge or use an app for Florida Bus Service (Disney route shuttle).
Lots of gift shops, restaurants and entertainment at a few minutes (walking distance), including Icon Park. Microwaves have been removed from the rooms since my last stay in 2023. Housekeeping protocols have also changed to be performed 4 days after arrival unless requested otherwise, and it needs to be asked for 24 hours in advance.

- karenmA7690XM (6/5): Started bad, got slightly better. Wouldn't stay again - Arrived after a long flight from the UK and a drive from Tampa airport. Massive queue to check in so we stood for 45 minutes as only 2 people on front desk. We were given a map with our building and room circled but didn't realise how far it was. Had to pack the car back up to drive to the room.
Microwave door was broken so couldn't make a coffee. A/C wasn't working so we asked maintenance to come. Guy turned up and gave it a tap and said it was working fine. Said he would fix the microwave the next day. Went to wash our hands and the tap was so loose we thought it was about to come off. Had a shower instead only to find it leaked all over the bathroom floor. Couldn't get any internet connection unless I went and sat outside the room door.
I couldn't sleep as the room was so hot so at 5.30am I had to walk to the lobby. Staff said maintenance didn't start till 9am so they would send them over. Guy turned up and said straightaway A/C unit has broken so he would replace it. He fixed it fairly quickly and replaced the microwave. By this stage we were just tired and fed up and just wanted to get on with the holiday.
We asked to switch rooms but were told to come back between 12 and 2 after people had checked out. We didn't want to lose a day of our holiday so we stayed where we were. We put towels all over the floor when we showered and had to be careful with the tap. Everytime we went for the Starbucks coffee in lobby it was shut. The only option was the poolside cafe which was actually lovely.
We didn't realise this was a resort so a bit too loud and busy for us. Pool is lovely and plenty of seats although selfish people had towels on chairs constantly. We had breakfast in the cafe just once and it was lovely. Probably a great place if you like loud music by the pool and lots of hustle and bustle. Police and fire were there twice during our stay but no idea what was happening. In the evening we just stayed in our room as we were shattered from busy days.
Great location close to seaworld,aquatica,discovery cove. Housekeeping staff were wonderful couldn't fault them. Room was cleaned every single day and bed made even though we told them they didn't need to do it daily. They always gave us loads of towels which we suspect was due to the wet bathroom floor from the shower lol.
So we wouldn't stay here again unless it was a very cheap price!
