    Before booking, I called to confirm details like beach access and parking. Upon arrival, I found out the property is split into three separate buildings, and my assigned room was across the street with no direct beach access. Furthermore, there was an unexpected daily parking fee. Although the front desk agent kindly upgraded me to a bungalow closer to the beach and agreed on a specific nightly rate ($15 extra), upon checkout, I was charged $25 per night instead. Great people, but the lack of clear communication and consistency makes the experience frustrating. I wouldn't recommend it if you value transparency.

    The place was nice. The only problem we had was the beach was full of seaweed. So bad we couldn’t go in the water. I know this was not the resort’s fault. If I were to go again I would check that out first.

    4 stars bc the hallway rugs were severely stained. They really need to redo the rugs. They were cleaned with bleach and could see the stains but aesthetically not pleasing. But otherwise place was super clean. Fun and lively at the pool, but got quiet after 9/10pm which was nice bc I am a light sleeper.

Cute coffee shot in loby. This property should be condemned. The balconies are being held up with structural pilling s tools for it not to be falling down. Honestly, I thought about checking out. The facilities are filthy dirty. The bathrooms have black mold and rust . Carpets are soiled with dirt and grime. Garbage and towels all over the property a

    Reviews also said the hotel was clean but once you go into the hallways, they have disgusting stained old carpet and hot hallways that stink. The smell is similar to someone’s smelly armpit. My first room had stains on the furniture and a funny smell. They eventually checked on me and switched my room. I won’t have enough characters to talk about all the bad stuff but the good thing is the convenient location of the “resort” and the breakfast staff! Special shoutout to Cynthia. She is doing a great job. Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT BOOK HERE. After 407 for the room, 140 in “resort fees”, 75 dollars in parking in their own lot, and $200 deposit, I can’t say I got any value from this place.

    As a local, I like to try different hotels. This one is great if you don’t plan on spending any time in your room as the walls are paper thin and you can hear every conversation. The beach is beautiful and the staff are delightful. The paper thin walls isn’t worth it though. Beds aren’t the comfiest either. They were doing construction so I woke up to banging on the room at 9am. Staff didn’t mention anything about it either.

    I rented a bungalow. Staff is super friendly no matter their position at the hotel. The room was clean and decorated nicely. This is the first hotel room I’ve been able to set a thermostat and forget it; it was always comfortable. It had a mini fridge and free water bottles. The hotel wasn’t crowded and the adult pool rarely had anyone in it. This is my first stay in a bungalow and second stay this year at the hotel. Even though I spent most of my time on the beach, the bungalows are not only kid free and mostly quiet, they’re steps from the beach. Great for solo travel. Additional shops and restaurants are a short walk down the beach.

    Good hotel, too bad we were there with a million soccer player kids! We didn't get to use the pool either day we were there. Beach was nice, towels and beach chairs included was a nice touch. Tiki bar was nice to have -great bar tenders!!! Breakfast was good. Bed was comfy but pillows were paper thin. Overall it was a good location but not much to do around the area, mostly hotels and condos. Walk to the Lauderdale by the beach intersection had a few shops and about 6 restaurants but not really much else. We took the water taxi tour for the day and that was well worth it! Explored Fort Lauderdale and along the waterway.

    Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Umbrellas were not available for the beach on 3 of 4 days we were there. Winds were what I would consider light, 10-15 mph, and ALL other properties along the LBTS beach had their umbrellas out, but not the Plunge! Their umbrellas don’t have screws to hold them in the sand, so they won’t put them out if there is any wind!!! Bungalow king room was decent, but no view whatsoever and furniture was lacking. There was NO closet, no vanity in the bathroom, the only lamp in the room was a small handmade lamp next to the bed. Air conditioning was good, relatively quiet, but ceiling fan controls didn’t work for speed, simply on and off, luckily it was on low. Bungalow pool was very nice and peaceful. Main pool was large and very busy. Bar was really fun, but food and drinks were a bit limited and expensive, though not too bad.

    They had about 15 young boys wrestling in the pool, throwing things two balls going on the adults. Had to get out of the pool and let teens takeover. I told the front desk and they said how many adults are in your room. That was their initial response. I could not wait to leave. It was not relaxing at all, and you couldn’t swim in the pool. The teens took over the pool, throwing water guns at each other big long water guns all kinds of balls. It was terrible.

Coffee bar and snack/ meal selection were very nice. Having to park and walk across a busy street, with all luggage, to get to our room. No covered parking area to load/unload vehicle. Barking dogs in many rooms on all floors. Overly strict and nearly impolite staff addressing guests transiting through the pool and bar area with their cooler to access the beach. No water available in the rooms. Stark walls, no full length mirror, no microwave, and minimal seating in the rooms.

    The vibe also leaned much more adult/party-oriented than we expected. It may be a great fit for adults looking for a more lively atmosphere, but it wasn’t quite the relaxing atmosphere we were hoping for as a family traveling with kids. We also had ongoing issues with the hot water in our room. Staff did send someone to check it, which we appreciated, but the water never really got hotter than lukewarm. After long beach days with kids, not being able to take a genuinely hot shower was definitely disappointing. The staff was friendly and the location was convenient to Lauderdale by the Sea, but overall I think the hotel feels a little different in person than how it’s portrayed online.

    When we bent down to find our sandal - there was a used tampon on the floor near our bed! Housekeeping does not clean daily (even if you ask for bedding to be replaced - we had sand in the bed and wanted new sheets), they will leave you towels but otherwise, 4 days and had to call to have floor vacuumed and not much else is done.

    The interior of the hotel is not what is advertised. In the hallway, the design is drawn on with sharpie, the flooring is torn up and stained, and there are random photos throughout the hallway taped on. One of which was a starving farmer from the Great Depression?? Seems out of touch in today's economy. The room was dirty in hidden places such as the shower head with grime on it, the lamps were rusted, and the headboard covered in stains.

    Great location I had booked an oceanfront room with a balcony. When I checked in I was not told that I would not get this room due to refurbished rooms were not ready. Not my problem. When returning to the front desk then I was told that I was not getting the room I had booked. I was booked in room 124. I am disappointed that this situation was handled this way. I love this resort this was my 4th time there in a year. I will think twice about going back which is unfortunate. I did receive a credit for beverages and food plus the resort fee was waived.

    This hotel is right across the street from the beach and down the street from shops and restaurants. The lobby is cute with lots of unique art work. On a busy main road on one side, and during our stay the fire alarm was triggered for an extended amount of time (couple hours?) before it was reset. A one time event, I’m sure, but unfortunate timing for our one night stay.

    You can’t beat the location. The beach is top notch! I loved what the resort included in their daily fee - bottle waters, beach umbrella, chairs and towels. the beachfront restaurant, Backflips, had great food and drinks. Short walk to downtown. The pool looked great, but we didn’t use it in preference of the beach. The carpet was gross throughout the hotel and unfortunately there was a fake nail (not mine) on my new shower towel that completely grossed me out.

    Pictures on internet deceiving . It is an older hotel that has been updated . Main building is across the street from beachfront pool and 2 other buildings. Staff was great. Nice amenities like umbrella and 2 beach chairs,pool and beachfront bar restaurant. Gym is pretty bad. Very small and can really only handle 4 ot 5 people. Location of resort is nice. We had a king suite and it was huge. 2 bathrooms and ton of space. The living room had a sofa and chair that looked like they were from the 80s. 49 dollar resort fee which is annoying but at least you do get some amenities for the added cost. I just wish resorts would.just put that cost into the price of the room.

    The location was great, perfect location to restaurants and the beach. The coffee shop staff in the lobby was very loudly negative. The hotel room had small ants the entire stay which we asked be treated twice during the stay, and still found them crawling on everything. The ac had a smell which we asked be looked at. The hallway to the room was in need of cleaning most days and needed updating which they did say was scheduled. For someone not fond of scary images, the images in the hallway could be creepy and not enjoyable. The reception staff was friendly. The staff at the beach was helpful and beach amenities were great. Overall unimpressed with the follow-up on the issues we had and the ability to remedy them.

    We traveled to Plunge Beach resort during a beautiful sunny week in March. The main resort building (main entrance) is set back, but a very short walk to the beach. Note: we were informed when we arrived that the beach front building had sustained damage from a broken sprinkler system so it was not able to be occupied while under renovation. The lobby area of the main building is modern and welcoming—hosting a display of local art work. There is also a great coffee shop that had fantastic coffee and breakfast sandwiches (and a super friendly and accommodating staff)!! Off of the open lobby is a bar area that hosts breakfast in the morning and drinks in the afternoon. There is a shopping center a 1 minute walk from the hotel if you need a grocery or drug store. The hotel is a 10 minute (easy) walk to all of the downtown restaurants and bars. My only complaint is that the hotel hallways and rooms looked very tired and worn. You walk from this very open, modern lobby off the elevator to hallways that have worn carpet and walls that were in desperate need of fresh paint. The rooms themselves were clean, but again somewhat worn and in need of a refresh. The hotel staff was ever present and extremely friendly! We never made it to the pool as the beach was the gold star of this resort! I would love to return back to Plunge after it completes all of its renovations and gets a refresh. With a little TLC I think this place could easily be a 5 star rating!

    I have stayed here on multiple occasions and the last time I stayed I wrote a review telling them the property was in bad shape and needed painting/new carpet and I was told they had plans to renovate. Well, a year later....still the same tired hallways, elevator and common areas. And the rooms are just ok, very tired and NO lenghthview mirror!!! And the staff at the cafe in the lobby area was a joke - you might want to look into that! Then, to end things, I asked for a receipt because I didn't stop at the desk to check out (because I had no additional charges) and discovered they overcharged me by $80 for parking yet I DIDN'T even have a car!! It took me 5 separate phone calls just to reach someone and then I was forgotten on hold so had to call back!!! I still haven't seen the credit on my account but I will be checking!! Other than having the restaurant and cafe on site, I would not recommend staying here. The day we left my husband did see a sign that said they were renovating....not that we could see anywhere!

    Starting with "Jasmine at the front desk", she has the warmest smile, and offers much effort to help, thank you Jasmine! Suzette also at front desk was a dear, Kent the supervisor is a real gentlemen, AJ at the coffee shop awesome, made the best cappuccino I had every morning, and Bianca at Octopus resto. is great! The avocado toast for breakfast was very good. Eugene, the new bellman, very friendly and helpful. (Unfortunately, there was a lady with glasses, at the front desk, that was very rude, never smiled, and moody, her name might start with Mar--. A smile and being kind to guests is important if you're working front desk. No rudeness needed. The room was fine, surprised and disappointed to find no basic coffee machine? I travel quite a bit, there's always a coffee machine. And, wow, no micro-wave. Buyer beware, 'resort view' will probably be facing parked cars and a parking area.My first room had a depressing view, after 2 days a better view, more sunlight, higher floor, helped with the parking view. The team at Backflip resto on the beach is great! Food is good, happy hour fun, the wings are the best!

    Staff is rude. In 3 days I haven’t encountered anyone who seemed to enjoy working there. We went to their cafe for breakfast and the woman who works there was so nasty that I drove to other places for breakfast for the rest of the stay. Also by 8 am all the breakfast food was sold out. Restaurant food was gross. The salad didn’t come with dressing. Room was ok. Needs renovations. Hallway carpeting is gross. Bathroom smelled. No microwave on the premise. No laundry. The backflip cafe food is good, staff is rude. The only acceptable interaction was the towel guy by the beach. It was my second stay here and I had a great experience a few years ago, but the hotel has gone downhill in appearance, staff, complete ripoff in extra charges. I will never go back. You can stay for half the price at a low budget Chain hotel for a much more comfortable experience. Mattress was hard and lumpy. How they are operating at this level is shocking. One of their elevators was constantly broken, and the other one is a long walk and you have to compete with the cleaning services. Getting to our room at the 5th floor took 20 minutes sometimes.

    Staff was very friendly and courteous. We stayed on 5th floor of the main building. The carpet and walls were tired and in need of replacement/updates. A small sign was on the floor indicating that they planned to do updates, but that sign could have been there for months or years to placate customers. Don't put a sign out - just get it done. Room was plain, but clean. Room cleaning was good.

    We were disappointed in our 1BR suite. The furniture in our room was very dirty and stained. Also, there was only one lamp in the sitting room and it was extremely dark. It was an expensive room and not in any way worth the money we paid. The hallways were also very dark with extremely dirty carpeting. Very disappointed.

    Yes, you pay an additional $75 each day! on top of what Expedia says. The Hallway carpet looks like someone puked on it every 5 feet, disgusting. Stains everywhere on that Hallway carpet. The shower took forever to get hot, and the knob used for the turning of the temp popped off, so had to keep popping it back on to use it. To too it off, someone brought their dog there and it barked allllll nighhhht looooong. We called and complained and said we wanted a credit and they said someone would be in contact with us and it has yet to happen. Pros: You do have access to the beach. The other staff there were extremely friendly, and the towels, rooms, and beach were super clean. Pool was clean (just a little too small and wasn’t heated. Way too cold.) When you stay at the pool, the resort staff give you free popsicles so that was a cool surprise!

    Mold - tons of mold. Wasn’t evident at first except our daughter kept sneezing. Then at night the AC unit which they claimed was new kept cycling and filling the room with spores. We got so sick , coughing. Smelly clothes , others commented when we met friends for dinner. We then were transferred to another room which seemed ok, then we started to get sick again. Room was waterlogged. Damaged soaked furniture, moldy mattress. Walls water damaged. Completely unsafe & toxic. There were mold remediation companies working on one of the buildings and they mentioned to us how terrible the condition of the building we were in was. 3 trailers full of moldy drywall sat next to the pool with winds blowing. Staff was nice but they are limited to how they can help due to poor ownership and minimal upkeep making the hotel very unsafe c

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

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.

    The location couldn’t be better, right on a beautiful, quiet stretch of beach and only a 10-minute walk from the restaurants and pier in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The only downside was the beach bar/restaurant, where the drinks were poor, service was slow, and prices didn’t match the quality. The lobby coffee shop also disappointed given the price for “specialty coffee.” Overall, a great beachfront stay with charm, comfort, and wonderful staff, just skip the food and drinks.

    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.

    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!

    Unfortunately, our original room had no hot water, and we weren’t made aware of this until the next day, after we had already gone through cold showers. Once the issue was acknowledged, we were moved to another building where hot water was available, but the new room did not have the same pool access as our original booking, which was a bit disappointing. The room itself was fine, but nothing particularly special. With a little more attention to communication and upkeep, the experience could have been much smoother.

    Upon entering the plunge you instantly realize that this is a motel and not a resort, the staff at the front desk was rude and aggressive. Once we got through the check in process they made us aware that there are parking fees to park your car in the driveway next door. 25$ a day. The staff said if I booked direct instead of through Expedia it would have been 10$ a night. We booked there king room ocean view on the 5th fl. This is a motel charging resort rates the room had old carpeted floors with outdated furniture the balcony was rickety. The walls were freshly painted which were nice expect they never took down any of the paintings on the wall and painted around them it looked trashy and unkept. Well we came for the beach so I took my wife and my 3 yr old down to beach to make the best of the next 4 days. We arrive at the beach they have a volleyball net and other games set up. As we are walking through we notice trash in all the grassy areas in the beach in front of the hotel. Cigarette butts strewn throughout the beach. I couldn’t enjoy the beach because I was to busy chasing my kid around trying to keep him away from the garbage and cigarette butts. So now that we know what the beach is like we go check out the pool. The trash bins are full to the top with garbage on the ground. We walk past the bar and the bartender is throwing the limes lemons and any other drink condiments out onto the beach in the walkway. Waste of money

    This was a perfect stay from the moment I walked through the door. I arrived at 10am, hoping to drop my bags and change for the beach before my 4pm check-in. They let me check in 6 hours early!!!! No fee. I didn’t even have to ask. Then I sat down to an absolutely delicious breakfast served by the delightful Cynthia, before settling into my big fluffy bed for a much needed nap after my 6am flight. It just kept getting better from there. The entire staff is unbelievably warm, friendly, and genuine. The food was excellent, and the accommodations on the beach (complimentary lounge chairs, towels, umbrellas, side tables and sunscreen all set up for you by a friendly beach attendant) made my time on their gorgeous beach feel totally luxurious. The beach bar and pool area were equally fabulous. I also really enjoyed Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. It’s laidback, unpretentious, quiet, and exactly what I was looking for in a getaway. I can’t say enough about this gem of a resort and I cannot wait to return.

    The pool was very nice and inviting, loved the beachside restaurant/bar. Good location. Check in staff wasn’t friendly at all. However the hotel is old and worn, desperately needs updating. No coffee makers in the rooms, you have to go to the on-site restaurant and it isn’t free! Everything is Ala cart! The worst part is the resort fee is $49 a night and parking is $25 a night! So what ever you see on the room prices..,. Just add $75 per night! I won’t be back.

Offered a bungalow or a 2 bedroom suite for same price, breakfast free ticket, free parking, bottled water, didn't have to pay resort fee. We were so disappointed about not having beach front room, but Keifer went overboard to make our trip enjoyable. Our suite was two buildings back from the beach. Thanks, Keifer. Say safe......

    My wife and I have been to the Plunge a few years ago and I must report that the service has gone down dramatically. The staff at the beach bar needs to be trained better in customer service skills, and their attitude towards the customer needs a drastic improvement. If you want to be waited on and receive food in a timely manner do not sit at any of the tables that surround the bar, because all of the servers avoid you as if you were a bother to them. They also have a happy hour daily from 4:00-6:00PM and never give you the happy hour menu unless you ask. There was a Luau advertised on flyer's that they had placed around the resort taking place on Saturday from 3:00-6:00PM with drink and food specials being offered. When my wife and I went and sat down at one of the tables it took more than 15 minutes before a server came over to us and handed us a menu, and when I questioned what the specials were for the Luau she rolled her eyes and went back and brought us the separate specials menu. After that she ignored us and kept making drinks for other customers, until another 15 minutes went by before another server came over and took our order. We also noticed other unhappy customers having to get up from their tables and walk to the bar for service. The saving grace of our vacation came from the phenomenal service that was given from the staff who set you up on the beach every morning with lounge chairs and an umbrella. The housekeeping crew was also top notch, and Julio

    We agreed the the chairs in bar and restaurant are not very comfortable. Beach Bar staff was amazing, interactive and friendly, as were all of the staff. I felt a little bad about the many plastic cups that were being used. It makes sense not to have glasses at the beach bar, but I wonder if there is a more environmentally conscious option? Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

    Unfortunately, management did not have a process in place to help manage the large amount of families with children there for sporting competitions. The children went unsupervised causing disruptions to other guests who were trying to enjoy the amenities, meals at the hotel or just trying to get to their rooms. Due to the holiday weekend, the hotel was very crowded. There was an altercation at the pool that resulted in management shutting it down, the guests asked to leave and the authorities to be called to the scene. This started because children were left unsupervised running around knocking and pushing guests.

Also, it is an older hotel that is getting a "refresh" this summer which will definitely improve the look of the hotel.

    We like the location. We were not pleased with the oceanfront first floor room as there were so many weeds, etc. growing your view is not much. We would have preferred to have been on a higher floor. There was a big stain on the bed (gross). Some of the sheets had stains also. We decided not to change rooms because we had already put everything away. However, the bed stain was bad enough that the room should not have been rented until it was fixed or replaced. The employees at this hotel are very nice. However, we will likely try another hotel next time.
