Gave an extended weekend trip to my sister and brother in law for their 59th birthdays. They had an amazing relaxing time. They are repeat visitors at the Palms because it is second to none on Ocean Beach. Bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas provided making it stress free. Staff is always accommodating including assisting with luggage at the dock. They took their own boat and the staff still met them and assisted. They had one glitch, the AC in their room suddenly went out (which is unfortunate but it happens). With no stress, they were moved to a cottage which was a substantial upgrade. Management is all about customer service. Highly recommend a stay.

The stay was really good accept the room we thought we booked with you was not what we got. The king room was very small. The hotel said you booked us on that room but when i originally booked it said I was getting a bigger room. Not sure where the mix up was, but the room was claustrophobic & really o my fit a bed with no side tables & no closet

Loved the location of my stay. Had a couple of hiccups with tv and toilet but it was addressed right away and hey , this was their opening weekend so no worries. I was moved to another room and all good. Staff was amazing, felt more like friends . I would definitely come back and I would refer them to friends. The ease of getting to and from the ferry was awesome! Check in/ out was great! Very accommodating and genuine.

Worry free too notch stay

We booked a last minute girls weekend over labor day. The Palms at Fire Island providesd a beautiful experience! Our room was ready upon check-in, 3 hours early! The hotel kept in contact with us via text the entire experience, towels, bikes ,beach accessories, water, whatever we needed was immediate attended to. Hotel was clean, we had a large courtyard with plenty of seating and a plentiful breakfast! Security was top notch. People stated rooms were small on other reviews but we had no issue at all. Room was as expected . Room was high priced but that is as expected for Palms property and the staff and amenities did not disappoint!!

The front desk staff was fairly surly. At $600 a night for a tiny room management should require a little more professionalism and make sure guests feel valued. Also the desk does not respond to messages in a timely fashion.

I have to say, spending over a 1,000 each night. You would have no mold in the bathroom, better beds, utensils beside one knife, better HVAC and not smell mold. Not booking again!
