Seascape's Ariel Dunes Condos

It was great very nice professional staff . Very friendly. The condo was great. It located near shopping centers and I had a great baconay view of the beach .

Great location! Great condo! So nice!

After booking online with Orbitz, we drove 7 hours only to get slapped with an additional $200 amenities and cleaning fee, even though the orbitz website stated that our original price included all of the above. Before we could even raise any objection, the attendant whipped out a webpage printout with additional super-fine print which supposedly justifies their hidden charges (obviously customers get tricked like this all the time) After analyzing the price, we would have saved $150 booking through the hotel and NOT through Orbitz. Apparently Orbitz claims to collect amenities and taxes, but pockets it and the customer gets charged twice.

after I left, the charge me for Pet fee because somebody heard dog's barking!! I never had a pet!!!dont trust it and its people, they'll stab on your back!

Very disatisfied, the guy that booked our room qouted the price and i asked NUMEROUS times if there would be any other fees due at checkin time and he assured me that no other charges would be added and when we checked in we had to pay an additional $218.. i thought there might be but he ASSURED me that it was not so our trip started out bad from the start..oh and lastly... had to walk across the street to the beach..when all the sites shown beach front.

THE HOTEL WAS VERY NICE, IT WAS IN A REAL GOOD LOCATION.

We had a shocker when we arrived with an additional $218.00 fee for cleaning and amnieties. We were supposed to have a balcony view of the beach, we had the 3rd floor and had to look through 2 building to see the beach. Other than that, it was a very nice, clean, upscale condo. We would probably not stay there again. Only because it is a good walk to get to the beach and there is no shuttle!

Overall this was an ok place to stay. The Grounds were nice and the golf course was nice. We were a little upset when we got there that there was a $174 cleaning fee that we were not previously made aware of. I felt like it was a little false advertisemnt, we picked this place because of the overall price. Not sure if it was the third party booking's fault or the hotel, bit the hotel said it was third party's. So that was a little upsetting especially when you have only allowed so much money for certain things!!! We had to cut out a few activites because of this.

First of all, nowhere was it listed on Orbitz or on any of the confirmation material I received, that there would be any additional fees for this condo. If I had known of additional fees, I would have booked elsewhere. It was such an amazing deal, too amazing. I should have known something was up. Upon check-in at Ariel Dunes, the front desk person said that I had an outstanding balance of over $160 for cleaning fees and a deposit waiver which would insure me up to $10,000 in damages. I told her that I had paid the bill up front using Orbitz and I showed her my confirmation email/printout which backed me up. She said that the website should have told me of the additional fees, and that if we wanted to stay there, I would have to pay them. I asked if I paid the deposit, after check-out would I get it back. She informed me that I would not. I was in a bind. If I didn't pay the money, then I would be out the money I had already paid for the room, so I paid the fees. Once the fees were paid, she told me that because we were in building 2, we would not have access to the heated pool, but we could use the heated pool at the Tennis Villas. I asked where that was located, and she circled it on a map. The Tennis Villas were over a half mile away from our building. The heated pool we couldn't use was only 100 steps away. I told her that I would like to move to building 1, and she said that wasn't possible. So now, I've paid double what I thought I was paying, and my family couldn't use the heated pool. It's February! We either freeze in the pool at our building or we freeze walking to the far away heated pool. Great choice. Finally, we got to our room. The walls were in horrible shape...black marks everywhere. The carpet was stained. When I pulled the sheets back, there were several dark stains on them, as well. Very, very disappointing. This is supposed to be a newer facility. The only thing nice about our room was the kitchen. It had granite countertops and nice appliances. Woo hoo. Our final problem was with the lobby door. After 7 pm, it was supposed to be locked. One night it stayed unlocked all night, and another night, the code that we were given would not work. Another family was having the same problem. We all stood outside in the rain, trying to get the code to work. Finally, an employee came riding up in a golfcart. When he got out of it, he walked straight past us. One of the kids had to run him down to get him to help us. He told us he didn't know what to do, but that we could just use the side door because it stayed unlocked. What? I feel extremely safe now. Thankfully, we were only there for three days. The only thing I can truly say that my family enjoyed was the restaurant onsite. There was live music that my 1-year old son loved, and the food was good, too.

Ariel Dunes had great balcony views and the pools were very nice. There is also a great little restaurant and bar with great food. The facility could use a business center and provide some form of wi-fi.
