Yolanda, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Anne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the pool and bar area and the location on the beach. Also loved that we could walk to restaurants and that there was a very inexpensive shuttle that we could take if weather was inclement.

8/10 Very good

Great stay for the price and location

My mom and I had a great time at Plunge. It had everything we needed for a weekend warm-weather getaway—pool, beach, walkable to restaurants and a Publix. Our room had a mini fridge, microwave, and safe. We had breakfast daily at Octopus restaurant, and our server Cynthia was lovely! The property is a little run down, but it was perfectly clean and safe. We'd absolutely stay here again!
