Traveled with group

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I traveled with a group of only adults (age 30's-40's) and we stayed 5 nights. That being said- This resort is a great spot for families with children; but perhaps not the best choice if your group is adults only. The location is great! Very close to lots of restaurants and shopping and other points of interest (Barefoot Landing). Quick access to the beach. The on-site restaurant is actually quite good for an easy lunch. Aside from being overwhelmed with child-energy...there were some things that I was disappointed with. Biggest one: no bathrooms in the pool area. You have to take the elevator up to the lobby and use the bathroom there. So inconvenient, and with all the children there? And adults drinking? Its like they are asking you to pee in the pool. I think that was the biggest issue. I have never been to a pool that didn't have a restroom/locker room near by. There were other small annoying issues with check-in and with certain things
being broken/power going out. The parking deck across the street was super crammed with tight spaces- you have to be real careful in there.
We all had a great time and made the most of our vacation. If I were to stay at Avista again, maybe it would just be for a shorter trip. I would recommend this resort for families with children.
