The location is excellent. Staff is very friendly and the property is well maintained. Rooms are very clean. I booked ocean front view room, and it was stunning. Decks are a little small, but we spent most of our time at the beach or the pool.

We really enjoyed our stay at Plunge Beach Resort. The hotel was spotless, creatively decorated, and had a relaxed beach vibe that felt authentic and welcoming. Service throughout was good, and the front desk was especially kind, Julio deserves a mention for being genuinely helpful and accommodating. The complimentary late check-out was a nice surprise. 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.

Too pricey for the condition of the resort.

Our room was ready when we got there but they wouldn’t let us check into the room before check in time without paying an $49.50 early entry fee. The room smelled like mold & the carpet was damp. Our clothes that we hung in the closet felt damp the next morning & the bathroom floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. Way too pricey for the condition of the resort.

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.
