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.

Good location and free bike rental! Our room smelled like mildew and ended up giving us both a stuffy nose, but it was clean and we were only staying one night so we didn’t request another room.

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.

This is our third time staying at this hotel. Very friendly service, very comfortable beds, and great drinks at the bar. We really enjoyed our stay. The bars are within walking distance, and Pompano Beach is a 15-minute bike ride away. We highly recommend it!

I I stayed last Friday and Saturday at plunge resort unfortunately there were German cockroaches in our room the first night they did move us to another room but I feel I should be reimbursed for the resort fees or some part of this vacation.. I took the risk of bringing roaches into my home and that's not what vacation is supposed to be about
