I had a mixed experience at Avani during my stay. The location is fantastic, being just a short walk from Victoria Falls, and I loved seeing the zebras on the property. However, the rooms were in need of updates and the dining options lacked variety. While some staff provided great service, the pool area was not as clean as I expected, which was disappointing.

The location is unbeatable for exploring the falls, and the service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond. However, I did encounter some issues with credit card facilities that were quite frustrating, which detracted from an otherwise perfect experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The proximity to the falls is absolutely amazing, and I loved being able to walk to the park and enjoy the wildlife.

The amenities were decent, but I wish some areas were better maintained for a more pleasant stay.

I had high hopes for this resort after my travel agent booked us a 3-night stay, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. While the overall atmosphere of the hotel and the gardens were nice, the cleanliness and service left a lot to be desired. The dining options were limited, and the staff was hit or miss in terms of friendliness. I certainly won't be returning, as I was expecting a top-notch experience in such a beautiful location.
