This was our second stay at Plunge and we love everything about it. It’s the perfect laid back beach vibe with access to a ton of great bars and restaurants under a mile away. Walkable and also a great little golf cart service for rides. The resort is very clean and comfortable. The pool is as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Beach access couldn’t be easier and the pool bar has delicious food and drink options at affordable prices. Breakfast in the lobby is also affordable and delicious. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

I absolutely love this hotel! You can't beat the amenities. It's great that the beach chairs, umbrella, and towels are all included with your stay. They will even set everything up for you which is so convenient. I've stayed at other Florida hotels where the chairs and umbrellas are not included and charge so much. I love Plunge and will be back!

Mediocre stay at Plunge

You can't beat the location of the Plunge, right on the beach with food and drink service. The pool was really nice and relaxing. The servers were extremely pleasant and helpful. The complaints we had were with the front desk and housekeeping. There was always a line at the front desk to talk to someone and we had to alert them twice that our room was in need of housekeeping. We stayed there three nights and housekeeping came once, only because we requested it. The hotel is worn but we did see signs that they are beginning a refresh of the room.
