Love the hotel, the ocean view from my room. Lover the amenities, the restaurant on the hotel grounds. Everything is on the beach. Free towels. Free beach chairs and umbrellas. Everything walking distance to local restaurants. Didn’t even need a car rental this time. My second visit to the plunge. Definitely coming again.

I’ve been coming to plunge for the last 6 years. Always a pleasure to stay here and it’s always an amazing time. Very clean rooms. The area is very safe and walkable. It’s family friendly but also has adult only options. I will be back again!
