I've just come back from a fantastic 7 night stay at the Avanti. I'd like to thank Sergio in Guest Services who I had contact with in advance of my arrival with regards to the type of room I would like to meet my needs and the room exceeded my expectations, I even had a small area with a sofa which came in handy after a day at the parks to chill before heading back out in the evening. Room was very spacious. I had researched the hotel and area so I knew what would make me feel safe as a lone female traveller, safety is a priority for me and I can confirm I felt very safe at this hotel. Everything is within walking distance, free shuttles to the parks which was only a 10 minute ride away. The resort has recently had a makeover and looks amazing, I hope guests respect it so it stays this way. I spent 1 day by the pool relaxing but didn't use it but other guests seemed to enjoy it. Towels changed every day and bins emptied except on 1 day which was absolutely fine as it was only me in the room, I kept the room clean and tidy daily myself. All staff I encountered, check in, cafe, pool bar, maintenance, room service and check out were very friendly. I would definitely stay here again as a lone traveller or with family and friends.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel, the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Stefanny at reception, she helped me book a day out and was very kind and friendly. The room was very nice too, spacious and clean. The cleaners came round every day to tidy the room too.

We booked via booking.com a Premium King Suite (Newly Renovated) that had Breakfast included for a week. On arrival I was told that breakfast was NOT included. Since I was tired I didn't feel like making much fuss out of it and assumed they were probably right. Later during my stay I rechecked the booking and it appeared that I have proof that breakfast is included so I asked for an explanation but I didn't get a reply after I left the property after the end of my stay. This is not the only thing. it looked like the renovation hasn't went well. The AC didn't heat but was very noisy(needed in November Orlando) and the bathroom was very fithy with still the hairs in it from the previous guests. Then the Bath looks like renovation went wrong. All the tiles have been covered with hairs from previous guests and there seems to be fungus between the tiles (you judge yourself with the photos). Last but not least both hair and soap from previous guests were still in the bathroom on arrival and that never got cleaned up (even though we asked). On arrival I got a text message to ask for feedback and I asked to get the shower curtain to be replaced though nothing was done with my request. My wife has a dust allergy and we asked to replace the dirty sheets of the bed (never done the entire week) also a vacuum cleaner is to much to ask to them since every corner is covered with dust. Don't stay here if you want to be healthy, the only good thing about this hotel is its central location. Read less
