The Plunge Beach Resort is tucked away in a quieter part of Ft. Lauderdale. An older hotel, it sits right on the beach and has everything you need. Nice pool, good food, oceanfront bar, beach lounge chairs and towels. Staff were friendly and great! Rooms are clean. There is a Publix grocery store across the street as well as restaurants and a Dunkin’ Donuts.
