Location, location, location. On beach and can walk to everything. Staff in all departments were welcoming and friendly. Cleanliness throughout the resort. Food was delicious at Backflip beach bar and drinks were as well. Love the vibe although rooms and hallways need a refresh but I understand that is about to happen. I wish the restaurant Octopus was open for dinner for a less casual option than the Backflip. It is just open for breakfast until noon. It has a nice bar and ambience that isn’t offered at this time. We love our stays at Plunge and hope to return every November for a pre Thanksgiving break!

It’s our fifth or six stay pre and post cruises plus a week last year. We’ll be back in Mar 2026 too. Everyone we’ve referred are very satisfied and thought if you liked a walk past their 80 person pool bar to a few feet to your own beach chairs and umbrella delivered to where you want for $20 ! It’s the best value for a day week . Their adults only bungalows have their on quit pools. Moly best beach vibes , morning treats in a Starbucs in lobby. A five min walk is a five unit shopping mall with a PUBLIC MARKRT. Awesome tourist foods and healthy prepared meals and wines. Restaurant in the lobby is famous for excellent breakfasts. We traveled a lot. The plunge always beats anyplace when you just gotta have that kick back feeling. Enjoy

The hotel was amazing from check in with Shashana who greeted us as soon as we came into the hotel help us with checking in and make sure our stay was going well through our time at the plunge. Juile, Jennifer and Miquel was amazing down at the bar area and beach. They always had a smile and was helpful with helping us select the best food and drinks. Suzette was another person at the front desk who was always welcoming and made sure we were okay. I would recommend this hotel hand down to everyone. Nice location pool, beach and amazing food and drink blocks away form local entertainment and fun. We had a blast. Hotel staff overall was amazing and the rooms and hotel stayed cleaned and smelling great. Housekeeping cleaned room every day we did not have to call service desk for anything. ❤️❤️❤️see ya all our next trip to Ft. Lauderdale.
