So strange to me that this place has such great reviews.. while the staff is amazing, the rooms themselves and hallways and elevators and just very rundown. The art in the hallways is literally hand drawn with sharpies.. or perhaps a magazine picture modgepodged with a frame sharpied around it? The decor needs a major overhaul. The pool is beautiful and the beachside bar is great. I cannot say enough about the attentiveness of the beach staff. We had a beachfront room so our view was great as well.. just mainly the lobby and halls and rooms need a redo but the staff and pool and food in the octopus restaurant go above and beyond.

Love the hotel, the ocean view from my room. Lover the amenities, the restaurant on the hotel grounds. Everything is on the beach. Free towels. Free beach chairs and umbrellas. Everything walking distance to local restaurants. Didn’t even need a car rental this time. My second visit to the plunge. Definitely coming again.

We love Plunge Resort at Lauderdale by the Sea. It is such a peaceful place yet it has a party vibe that we enjoy. A mixture of relaxation and enjoyment together. The staff is nice and helpful, the restaurants are great and the drinks are fabulous.

I’ve been coming to plunge for the last 6 years. Always a pleasure to stay here and it’s always an amazing time. Very clean rooms. The area is very safe and walkable. It’s family friendly but also has adult only options. I will be back again!
