    beautiful pool
    variety of breakfast

    Let me tell you, the kids loved the pool area, it was clean and really beautiful to see. During breakfast, I was impressed with how huge the variety was, with everything from eggs to pastries, like a buffet extravaganza.

    Sure it wasn't the most affordable place I've ever been, but like I said, it was still acceptable.

    friendly staff
    delightful food
    poor casino management
    dirty tables
    long breakfast waits

    The staff at the reception were friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth. The food, featuring delightful local flavors, exceeded expectations and added a nice touch to our stay. However, service at the casino was disappointing. staff were unhelpful and poorly managed, contributing to a negative experience. Additionally, the breakfast service was lacking, with dirty tables and long waits that detracted from our mornings.

    I had a lovely stay with beautiful gardens surrounding the property, and the poolside service was exceptional. However, the room didn’t quite match the advertised pictures.

    local flavors
    delightful food
    cozy coffee shop
    limited breakfast options
    unavailable room service

    A culinary adventure awaits at Gaborone, with local flavors bursting from every plate. The food at Avani was a delightful surprise! Plus, the coffee shop vibe was cozy and inviting, perfect for a morning pick-me-up.

    The breakfast left much to be desired—definitely not what was marketed! We had a two-hour wait for our room. Room service was a mess too. most items weren’t even available! Still, the staff's friendliness shone through.

    limited breakfast options

    I had an awesome time at the hotel where I enjoyed relaxing by the outdoor pool and sipping cocktails at the terrace. The spa center was also a fantastic way to unwind after a long day. I did notice the breakfast could use some improvement, but overall it was a great stay! 😊

    helpful receptionist
    great coffee
    room service
    dirty room

    I enjoyed my stay at the Avani. The location is nice, close to key areas. The staff was generally friendly, with a standout experience from one male receptionist who was really helpful. The coffee shop had great coffee too. However, I faced a few issues. Upon arrival, they had given my room away, forcing us to wait nearly two hours with kids. Room service was disappointing. many menu items weren’t available, which seemed like a staff reluctance to prepare food. The cleanliness of the room left a lot to be desired, with hair found even after cleaning. Wi-Fi was slow at times too, making it annoying to stay connected.
