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.

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.
