This was our second stay at Plunge and we love everything about it. It’s the perfect laid back beach vibe with access to a ton of great bars and restaurants under a mile away. Walkable and also a great little golf cart service for rides. The resort is very clean and comfortable. The pool is as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Beach access couldn’t be easier and the pool bar has delicious food and drink options at affordable prices. Breakfast in the lobby is also affordable and delicious. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.
