One of our early dates was at the beach where the Plunge is now. He had visited the Plunge ahead to make some requests and they came through 100%. Sashana and Suzette checked us in and made sure our room was decked out with rose petals and love swans (made from towels). They gave us an anniversary card with free drink coupons. Every person at the plunge from management to maintenance were happy, helpful, accommodating, and positive. We ate hamburgers at the beach bar and they were delicious - and our server/bartender was awesome (and I’ve forgotten his name!) . We shared a breakfast sandwich in the cafe that was phenomenal. And their coffee bar is also fabulous. The Plunge is only 2 miles from my house, and we do beach yoga there monthly, but it was a romantic throwback to our courtship 16 years ago, and everyone there made it memorable. The hotel is kind of eclectic and old school, which goes perfectly with our throwback town of Lauderdale by the Sea. The price is not throwback, but we felt it was worth the splurge at the Plunge.Show More

Right on the beach, lovely pool, onsite beach bar (Backflips). This is a very walkable area, only a short 10 minute walk to Commercial Blvd where there are plenty of restaurants offering outdoor seating. Fun and laid back vibe, also a very pet friendly little town. Our hotel room itself was in the 5 story building beachside and it is an older building, the decor is kind of old and funky. The room has been updated to some degree but is still very basic. I will say our room had a musty/ mildewy smell- the weather was cool and so we were able to open the slider and air it out. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and it was very quiet. The staff was kind and friendly. If you plan to go to the beach they offer free towels and access to their lounge chairs and umbrellas which is great! I would highly recommend this hotel for a low key girls trip or a family vacation party if your main objective is that you’re not really planning to spend much of your time actually IN the hotel room.Show More

We like to spend a day at the beach while enjoying bites and sips at the Backflip Bar right on the sand. Our favorite Sindy is traveling, but the staff is always fantastic - we loved meeting Julie this visit. We also stay here and love the room design. Always a great nights sleep. Pro-tip for South Florida locals; join their loyalty program to get great offers. We’re here this week and got a great deal with an ocean view and the discounted parking is a plus! There’s a new management company coming online and they’re keeping the character of the place with some exciting upgrades on the way. We had a great breakfast at the Octopus Bar & Restaurant and plan to visit with Bianca, she serves up true hospitality! So glad we have a great place to getaway, even when we can bike here.Show More

This ...What a wonderful find this was … Everything I wanted for my 15 night stay in LBTS to visit my Son and his family.After 15 years of traveling here from the U.K. I finally found my perfect place. This place is charming, rustic and traditionally Floridian. Housekeeping excellent. Pool and staff excellent. Location excellent. I had a front sea view room … 360 .. view was perfection. However my biggest shout out has to be to the front desk … the best reception staff I have found anywhere in any hotel in the world. From resolving a minor issue I had on check in to being helpful and accommodating to my visiting family… I could never thank them enough. Shashana and Suzette were outstanding. I can highly recommend… go on … Take The Plunge.Show More
