"A great PLUNGE".

The location was great and close to the beach plus it was nice to have the beach chairs and umbrellas delivered to the area of the beach where we wanted to relax. Also, the paintings and photographs on the lobby walls were an added feature to view. staff was friendly and good drinks @ Backflips

Had a great time overall

Plunge was great! Great location with the beach right there, and a 10 minute walk from the tourist strip. All the guys working at the beach stand were amazing, going above and beyond to set you up. The lobby is gorgeous and very welcoming! The elevator is very slow, and the posted inspection was months out of date. Hallways were dated, but rooms were nice. In order to use a microwave you have to rent one for $25 which seems ridiculous. Food at the bar and in the lobby were good, but inconsistent. The breakfast potatoes day to day were cut & cooked differently and that didn’t go over well with my kids. The first time we got BBQ wings they had a dry rub, the second time they had a sauce. There should absolutely be uniformity to the food you’re serving. While the bartenders were great, I didn’t love that several times they upgraded my drinks so they were no longer under the happy hour specials I was going for. I got a kiddy cocktail for my daughter and was given a much pricier virgin margarita. I also did not appreciate that they never gave me an option to sign up for the rewards. I only saw it on my last day when the bartender left her POS with me because she was busy. I spent a ton of money at the bar and restaurants throughout my trip, and would’ve appreciated saving a buck here and there. Beyond the annoying hiccups, we had a great time!

Very cute older hotel on the beach. The touches they've added while remodeling were super cute with a great surf theme everywhere. Staff was wonderful, great coffee shop in the lobby. Beach/pool/bar staff were friendly. Beach was clean and nice.
