Great staff and amenities! The resort fee included everything one could need for a perfect beach trip. Walking out to the beach, there were staff to give you a towel and ask where you would like chairs and an umbrella setup. There were free bikes to explore the town, though the Main Street is only 0.5 miles from the resort making for a perfect evening walk on a quiet street.

The front desk associates were very friendly, informative, and helpful. The beach set up was wonderful. The weather and beach could not have been better. Mid 80’s, green flags= Perfect. The location is probably a 12 minute walk to the main strip of Lauderdale by the sea. We walked and had dinner and walked back. It was a wonderful night to walk, the smaller boutique hotels along the way were lit up and we enjoyed seeing all of them. They do have an actual There is an actual coffee shop inside the hotel coffee shop the octopus restaurant offers breakfast in the morning and I feel like the menu said anything from $10-$15. There was no continental breakfast. There is a $49.99 resort fee and a 29.00 parking fee that you must pay above and beyond the Expedia price. $100.00 incidental fee. They do have a wonderful pool. They do have a bar with TVs right on the beach that offers a food menu with items mostly from $12.00-$20.00. The bar does offer happy hour two times a day and you definitely want it because drinks begin around $10.00. The location is great. There’s two separate buildings or maybe three one is not right on the beach and that is where the office is however, it’s right at the beach. We will definitely stay there again.

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!
