"A great PLUNGE".
The location was great and close to the beach plus it was nice to have the beach chairs and umbrellas delivered to the area of the beach where we wanted to relax. Also, the paintings and photographs on the lobby walls were an added feature to view. staff was friendly and good drinks @ Backflips

Nice
Nice place, no complaints. It is a ‘hippy’ vibe and decor, Walking distance to main town square. Beach access is close. Pool is clean and heated-very nice. Beach and poolside service is attentive.
Dissatisfied with extra parking fees added on top of room fees AND resort fees.

The only thing was that there was a big tree at our balcony so couldnt see the ocean very well. We paid for ocean view and was
Partially obstructed. The pool and bar staff were wonderful as for the front desk . The octopus restaurant was very good as for the other coffee shop was good too. People been very nice.

Great location but needs TLC
Overall, the Plunge needs some remodeling. The halls need paint and new carpet. Our bed was very comfortable and the sheets/towels were all good. The room furnishings were old and needed updating. Our room was clean and the shower worked fine. The breakfast food was very good and the morning staff (Bianca and Angel) were friendly and fun. The pool and pool bar were very nice. When we booked we were told parking was free, but we were charged $25/day. We loved being right on the beach and a short walk to fun bars & Restaurants at Lauderdale-By-The Sea.
