Disliked: Cleanliness
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.

maintenance problem with beach front room. Keifer VERY helpful. 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......

I have been staying at Plunge for years and a few times a year ! Please start renovating as the place is looking tired and in need of some updating and upgrading . Staff always pleasant and super convenient. Also the food at the backflip bar has gone downhill. A long wait for mediocre food . Very sad to see this . Otherwise everything else is great

I traveled with 3 teenagers and they, along with myself enjoyed our stay. We loved the pool, the bar had really good food and service. There was signs on our floor that new carpet and paint were being updated, which were a little dated. Our room was very clean and we had a beautiful view of the ocean.
