Bottom Line

The 652-room Avanti International Resort is a mid-range property centrally located on International Drive within walking distance of many restaurants. It provides a free shuttle to the theme parks, and an iRide Trolley stop is close by. Rooms and suites are mostly modern, and come with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers, although some of the bathrooms need an overhaul. There's a casual cafe and mini-market, as well as a poolside bar. Recreation options include a large outdoor pool, volleyball, shuffleboard, a fitness center, and a game room. Resort fees are a nuisance, particularly because it's more like a large motel and some rooms can be noisy. Alternatively, the Rosen Inn at Point Orlando has two heated outdoor pools and doesn't charge a resort fee. It also allows pets.

Oyster Hotel Review

Avanti International Resort

Scene

Casual mid-range hotel with family-friendly vibe plus colorful public areas

This hotel is a housed in four four-story white and yellow motel-style buildings with exterior hallways and parking right outside the rooms. That layout says a lot about this property, which takes the simplicity of motels and pairs it with a number of features that create a casual, resort-like package. The lobby is bright and open, with colorful accents throughout. Contemporary seating is a mix of lime green, fuchsia, aqua, bright orange, and taupe, and the tiled floor and lighting fixtures also have pops of color. The reception desk is backed by bright pink contemporary artwork. It's a hip, youthful vibe that also feels somewhat European. The pool and recreation areas are in the center of the complex, and serve as the social hub. With its central location and reasonable rates, the hotel draws a mix of families and couples.
