That's our second time in Plunge! And we will be back again! Absolutely love the service - complimentary late check out, towels and sun beds, message support, ice water with orange and lemon, yoga, Christmas activities and wonderful coffee downstairs! The staff is helpful, welcoming and friendly! The location is just the best - by the ocean and close to restaurants and supermarkets! We fully enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Plunge Beach Resort! You, guys, are the best!

We loved everything! Thank you ?

The location is superb. Lauderdale by the Sea is laid back, not so busy but still plenty of amenities close by. The direct access to the beach was excellent. The staff are all friendly, efficient and make your stay very welcoming.

We enjoyed everything.

Location, overlooking the beach. Rooms are spacious and clean. Nice pool and pool bar/restaurant. Friendly staff.

Nothing really. Maybe more plug sockets to charge devices? A lack of nearby restaurants but what there are are superb.

The property was spotless! Great location, comfortable beds and friendly, accommodating staff. The food and drinks at the bar were amazing! We had coffee every morning at the coffee shop also 10/10. We went in Sept during their “slower season” and felt like we had the entire place to ourselves while still receiving all the amenities/service that come with the property during “busy season”. We’ll definitely be back!

The halls were very outdated but signs say renovations coming soon.

Wonderful location. Friendly and helpful staff. Very accommodating to things if u needed. Stayed in the adult bungalow and it was very calming and quiet and you have your own private pool shared amongst other adult bungalow guest. The view is amazing!

The art work in the adult bungalow rooms. It was cool that it was all done in permanent marker but still a little tacky but overall good vibe.

The hotel had great amenities and location to other restaurants and shopping was great. Loved that beach chairs and umbrella with towels was included. Also the unlimited bottle water was a nice surprise as this isn’t something you see often at hotels.

The bedsheets were a bit stiff, could be a little more comfortable and lighting wasn’t great but I know they will be remodeling soon so hopeful that will improve.

We had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The room was clean and spacious, with a beautiful view that made every morning feel like a vacation postcard. The entire staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful — from check-in to check-out, everyone we encountered made us feel welcome and well cared for. I happened to remember the name of one receptionist, Suzette, whose warm attitude was really lovely — but honestly, the whole team was amazing. We also really enjoyed the on-site café — the food was fresh and delicious, a perfect way to start or end the day. The beach near the hotel was clean and well-maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy the ocean. We’d gladly come back and highly recommend it to others!
