The resort was pretty nice, the rooms were good, with a great view in the ocean view room. I wished the inside bar was open, the bar by the pool had great staffing, but the drinks were a little overpriced. The food however was really good. Had a great stay here.

My Family Enjoys the Plunge.

Excellent place to stay. Very close to a publix, Dunkin, great restaurants and stores. It was me, my wife and two kids one is 7 and the other is 5. They really enjoy the pool and having the beach just steps away is a huge plus. Excellent place for kids and very family friendly. This place is a gem and I’m sure it will continue to be a destination for many.

Plunge resort.

All in all was great. The rooms were clean and good sized. Beds were comfortable. Pool was spotless too. Cons: No microwave or coffee maker in the rooms. Never been to a resort that didn’t have that in the rooms. No ice machine on any of the floors in our building. Had to go to the bar to fill our cups with ice. Staff were pleasant and extremely pleasant.
